Welcome Mikko and family!

Your baby is so cute!!! Welcome. All the people here are very nice!

Oh, what an angel! I can see why you picked him!

Micko is beautiful. Is he your first Corgi? Dont let the puppy eyes fool you. They are the most determined Dog I know with amazing smarts and can have you jumping through hoops. I know the last thing you want to do with a cuddly minature bear is be a little strict, but take it from me..cause my Old Boy is 12 and genuinly believes he is King of the Castle. Wish he would pay the mortgage. Best of luck with him. PS. If you are going to have him in the house, watch the furniture.. They have a bordom threashould ,of 5 minutes at that age. And when the serious teeth arive.!!

Hi Danielle. So how to handle a Corgi. Firstly and I mean absolutly firstly dont let them believe they run the show. They are really smart when it comes to acting like the boss and although most people think they are nice little puppys and great to play with, they have a working background and at times could have a tendancy to lash out. So as they have no hands, well they might just snap instead. Thats my experience. Dont get me wrong, I love Corgis, amazing personalaties, and all so different. Just remember, they might look like and act like " do what they are told couch potatoes", but they are certainly not. Have fun and watch the furniture.

Thanks for the welcome! Love the pictures! Is Mikko at home with you yet? How old is he/she?

Thank you for your kind comments about Fern. When is your little Mikko coming home? I'm very excited foryou.

You are going to have a great weekend! Corgis are addictive...in my experience ;o) I am up to four! Enjoy your new little one. Expecting lots of pictures next week!

Congrats on your new addition! He's such a cutie!!

I'm so glad it is working out with Fern--thanks for the encouraging words. Congrats on having little Mikko home! He is so darn cute.I love the profile picture.

My other Corgis were all from good breeders so we had them all from 8 weeks on. I love the puppy stage! Okay maybe not all the peeing and pooping, but that part really doesn't last that long. I also love the adult stage when they mellow out a bit. I think as far as rescues go, Fern has been easy...so far. Unfortunately there are plenty of Corgis (and other dogs) that will need rescuing so when you are ready for your next Corgi, and you know you will want another one, there will be one waiting for your loving home! Enjoy little Mikko ;o)

Already planning your second corgi huh? LOL. See how they are? Totally addictive. I absolutely love the tricolor combination, and highly recommend it. We get lots of attention when we go for walks. Everyone wants to know what they are, or thinks they look like corgis but they have never seen the tricolor before.

Enjoy the puppy stages! Much as I liked the idea of getting one at 8 weeks and being the one to teach them all the good or bad habits I am glad the potty training stage was mostly done (Cagney only had one peeing accident - both had a poop accident but that was because they got the runs - at different times - so not really their fault). And I definetly do not mind missing the teething stage!

But of course we have to reteach the girls new habits and deal with the baggage they came with, poor Cagney is a bit scared of lots of stuff - so who knows what happened to her before we got her.

Mikko is adorable! How I miss the puppy stage... Oh well, I have to wait a while before adding another!

You should join our Minnesota/Iowa picnic group. We already had this year's picnic, but I would love for you to attend next year!

Hi Mikko and Family! This Sunday Sept. 21 around 1 PM we are having a meet and greet at the Brunsville alimagnet dog park. It is located on cty rd. 42 and 11. It would be great if you could make it out there!

Hey Danielle, thank you! I had an awsome time and I thank you and your husband for bringing Mikko out. I think that all of the corgis had a good time : ) I really enjoy watching Huneter run around and play with other corgis. They are such a neat breed! Check in with the Group page b/c I would like to start a monthly meet and greet if possible

Hey Danielle & Mikko! I know this is last minute, but if you are free this saturday (10/18) the MN crogi group will be meeting at teh Burnsville dog park and you should come and join us. We will be there from 2-4 PM. There website is http://corgi.guille.net/. I hope you can make it! I know there will be at least 8 corgis there : )
