My Corgis and I are from the great state of Texas.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No
About My Corgi(s):
Rhys (r/w male) and Andy (rht female) are 3 year old brother and sister.
Rhys, unfortunately, inherited an aggression problem from his doggy daddy. He actually attacked me a couple of times and, when the last one happened, I had to make the terrible decision to "help him to the Bridge." I could no longer risk him hurting me, Andy, or worse - a stranger. Rhys was a great dog - happy, super smart, and (when he wanted to be) quite loving. His aggression was not his fault and he always felt sorry after he attacked me, crawling into my lap as if to say, "I'm sorry...I love you, Mommy." I tried everything I could for him, even going to a veterinary behaviorist who told me that his type of aggression could not be cured or "trained out of him." The decision I made was the hardest decision of my entire life. I will always love him and I will never regret the time I spent with him.
Andy, on the other hand, did not inherit this aggression and she is quite possibly the sweetest dog I have ever known. She absolutely adores me, following me from room to room. She loves attention from people and her small stature and puppyish face attracts attention wherever we go. She loves to FRAP. She sleeps next to me on the bed every night (except during the warmest days of summer) and wakes me up with kisses each morning. She and Rhys complemented each other in the fact that he was not so cuddly, so he did not get jealous when she cuddled up with me. I love her to pieces. When I got Andy, she was a year old and I had had Rhys for 9 months. I was worried that I would not bond with her or that she would not bond to me. How wrong I was - as we have a bond that is so deep and special that I just can't imagine my life without her.
Hey there! My husband and I are originally from Houston too! We've been in the DC area for 4 years. We just brought home Caden in Sept and he just got his rabies, so he is ready for his first dog park visit. We need to plan a meet-up. Welcome to the site!
We both grew up in the Galleria/Memorial area. We went to Texas A&M for undergrad.
We were thinking about going to a dog park this afternoon, there is one in DC, in Glover Park. We've never been, but it looks like it's in the middle, between Bethesda and Alexandria. I left a comment for Triley's parents too. Let me know if you are interested.
No worries, we ended up not going, the lil one had a bit of an upset stomach,... we think he was given a treat at puppy class he wasn't used to, hot dog maybe,... but next weekend could be a possibility. How are the dog parks in VA?
Hi, Tana-Yes I heard about Rhys but didn't know how to reach you since I can't get on C2BC anymore. I never even thought about Dogster for some reason. My heartfelt condolences to you for your tragic loss. I know your heart was broken. I would be incensed at that breeder for not being more selective in her breeding. that is so unlike Corgis and I was totally amazed as I've never seen an aggressive Corgi(except females when they were breeding and both not spayed). Bubba's breeder had two females and believe it or not, a male jump one of her girls she had just put in the kennel area with them. they attacked her and killed her. They were subsequently gotten rid of but, I was shocked they could be that aggressive.
Hey, girl! Good to hear from you. I've been worried about you and Andy. It will get a little easier with each day. I remember when I had to help Kalli to the bridge. It was so hard. I still get choked up at times but I can also think of the good times and smile, too. Just hang in there. Maybe I'll take Zip to Angelo on the 22nd to meet Tess for a b-day celebration at Henry's! I did check out her page a few days ago. She looks good for 13! Give Andy hugs and kisses from the Z's!
I'm so sorry you had to make such a tough decision about Rhys, but you are an incredibly responsible owner for doing so.
Thanks for the comment about Ziggy! Andy is such a precious girl. The pre-Corgi dog in my pics is a Pharoah Hound, good call!
We have seen a few that we liked but decided to hold off until Fall of 2009 before getting one. We will be going away a bit next summer and figured it would not be fair to the puppy since she would not be able to go with us. Fortunately there are still three PWC in the family and we also have a Golden so we are around them all the time. But we do miss having the Corgi around telling us the proper way to do everything in the house all the time.
Thank you very much she is a pride and joy. Yours are very nice also. Sorry to hear about Rhys. Must have been the hardest decision ever. Have a great one and Malibu sleeps between my wife and I to keep warm. The cutest thing ever.
Hi! I joined not too long ago and didn't even know that there were such clubs/events. I would love to socialize Maizy, a little more, so if you even hear of a meet, let me know.
Both of you babies are beautiful! It's sad about Rhys, my deepest condolences! These little guys and girls just find a way into our hearts and it is so difficult when we have to let them go! ((many hugs))
Got your great card on Friday of last week. The card was priceless. It's my favorite so far. Thanks for being my "secret card santa".
C2BC great wishes for a happy holiday season. Hope that your heart is slowly starting to heal. I can only hope that I could be strong enough if circumstances warrant. Give Andy lots of kisses and hugs and throw in a belly scritch from her friend on the "left" coast, among the tall trees.
I got Niko in July of this year. He is just a sweetie!! Robin and her husband are great. She kept in communication with me and sent me lots of pics before I got him. He has a great temperment and I would definately suggest getting a pup from her. She's a great breeder.
I hope you have a good holiday weekend in Houston. Sounds like you will be busy. I'm sure you'll miss Andy like crazy. Have a safe flight. It is supposed to be 70 here tomorrow so I'll definitely be warm! LOL!! Merry Christmas!
Bugg will give me the queue to go outside at night. And then we come back inside...he'll walk real slow to let as many bugs as possible into the house. Then he'll try to smudge them with his nose. If they crawl...he'll lick them. They normally don't survive. :/
Thanks, They puppies where born yestarday and yes she had a bluie. It really shocked me because I have never seen a PWC have a bluie before but I guess its possible.
Oh they do. I went through some photos last year of our Weim and my boyfriend was amazed at how much Cloud has grown! I wasn't cause I remembered how small the pup used to be. Right now, I'm hoping that Freya doesn't have the aggression gene. I kind of got worried when I saw her sisters try and bite the people when they wanted to get down.
Aww, Andy is so cute! They do look amazingly alike don't they?! You didn't get her from Oklahoma by chance did you? I was wondering because maybe they are related.
We had an "Andy", but he was a boy (sable). He went on to the Bridge 3 years ago at age 15.
Hello Andy and Tana - it was fun watching those funny little dogs play with each other. They seem well suited to be play mates. When you make the trip to Quiet Waters, let us know and we'll try to meet you there. Enjoy your little sweetie. Pat and Mike and Trudy
Sorry for not commenting earlier......Glad to hear your in Alexandria. I"m in the Kingstown area of Alexandria... Near Springfield mall. When the weather gets better Dakota and I head to the Doggy Happy Hour in Old Town at the Hotel across from city hall. can't remember the name of the hotel thou.
