FIVE YEARS AGO I ADDED TO MY FAMILY,MY DREAM DOG,A PEMBROKE WELSH CORGI NAMED CHANSHEKS PRINCE OF THIEVES AKA TUCKER.TUCKER WHO IS A RED AND WHITE FLUFFY & IS NOW DOING OBEDEINCE CLASSES,TO HOPEFULLY GO INTO OBEDIENCE TRAILS .WE RECENTLY(LAST MARCH) ADDED ANOTHER TO OUR MERRY LITTLE FAMILY .KAMVALLEYS HOLIDAY WISH AKA SENSEI IS SCORING THE POINTS IN THE CONFORMATION RING .HE'S NOW RBPIS MBIG MULTI GROUP PLACING CFC CAN CH.KAMVALLEYS HOLIDAY WISH,AS OF OCTOBER 2009.SENSEI IS A BEAUTIFUL,RED HEADED TRI-COLOR.SOMETIME NEXT YEAR WE ARE WELCOMING A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE KAMVALLEY GIRL TO OUR HOME.
Hi Dawn: The new pup is gorgeous! I've always admired tri-colours, but I've never bought one. Our new baby is actually getting created in April (so I am very optimistic about picking her up at all!), but her mother is Ivy's mother and the Dad is a corgi that came over from Wales as a pup to work in the cattle transfer yards at Airdrie, Alberta. His name is 'Ollie' and he is a true working/herding corgi. He was only 1 1/2 years old when he first visited Emma and didn't quite know what to do, but he's been practising apparently (I'm not sure on what!) and will visit Emma next month. So, everyone is optimistic that pups will be available for June. We are excited - we'll be a three dog family - but we've got over 2 acres of property and lots of time and love for the doggies. I like this site - Facebook gets a little overwhelming and invasive for me and I still work full-time and can't keep up with all the gimmicks and tricks.
Have a great Easter,
Brenda
Thanks for the comment, the more I read, and learn the more excited I get! now I just have to convince the family that we can fit a new puppy in the zoo!
Dawn I forgot to tell you there is a yahoo group for Fluff crazed people called Fluffycult@yahoogroups.com
There are people from all over the world on it.

Hello Tucker, Sensei & Dawn! Sorry for such a late reply! Thanks so much for you lovely comments about my artwork. I'm just finding my way around MyCorgi Oh my goodness are all of these photos so very cute! Hope everyone enjoys the weekend. Warmly, Cathy ^..^
Hi, I see you live in Lunenburg Co. I am from NS. I was wondering if you could tell me where you got your adorable corgis from. Would like to correspond with another Maritimer. Are you Canadian? Joy
I am Such an otaku! I LOVE Japan. I'm also with you on the doggie classes. I think that if I were better that I would try going into being a dog trainer.
Thanks for writing. I was born in PEI but lived my whole life in Hfx up until 5 years ago when I married a PEIlander and moved to the Island. I really, really miss NS. My great grandfather was from Lunenburg County. I was wondering where you got your dogs because whereas Buttercup is 9, someday we will be looking for another. It sounds like the breeder in Stewiake (sp?) doesn't breed corgis anymore. Mine is a Cardigan. We have had him for 6 weeks now and love him to death. I would love to have another but couldn't manage with my illness. Besides, Buttercup does better being the centre of attention.
Are there many Corgis in NS? What is your first name?
By the way, I am not a Facebook fan...had an unfortunate experience there, vowed I would never go on a social site again but here I am. Thanks for joining the Healing Group. Are you dealing with something yourself and just there for support, either is fine. Feel free to invite others to join. We are just getting started; I just wrote my story tonight.
Nice to meet you, it is time to go to bed, have a good evening. Joy
PS I definitely consider myself a Bluenoser too and so do the Islanders ( you have to have been born and lived your whole life here to qualify as an Islander, haha but it is the truth). I am happy to be a Nova Scotian
we're home from the dogshow in canning,with 2points,2best in breed,2best puppy in breed and best puppy in group.yeeeee-haaaaaaaa!!!congrats Sensei you performed wonderfully,mommy's so proud
How are you doing? I need some practical help. Butter started what i call extreme shedding about 10 days ago. When will it end. Just today it seems that his mane is now shedding? I furbuster him every day and vacuum 1-2 times a day. I even tried vacuuming him tonight (He wasn't overly crazy about this). Do you know how long this lasts? Also, when does it all start again and end again (I hear they shed twice a year). Would really appreciate some advice from someone in the same weather zone as me. Thanks, hope you are all doing well and had a great holiday! Joy and Butter
Thanks...so once they start shedding, how long does it last? One month, 2? I think my husband is starting to regret we got a Corgi because the shedding is so unreal.
Thanks for the hope!!! I forgot that your dogs weren't Cardigans, so maybe that makes a difference too.
As for grooming, I do it all myself. I can't even go in hair salons without reacting so I am sure I would react at a grooming facility. I was trained by the breeder to cut his nails, file them, clean his ears and we bath him and have 4 brushes for his hair so really I am all set.
If you would tell me more about that line though, that would be great. Right now we are using Nature Clean unscented shampoo for him...made for humans. We are trying to bath as little as possible so that he doesn't develop a skin condition. So far, all the hypoallergenic shampoos for dogs I've seen have essential oils or coconut smell (I can't do either of these). If you have any more advice, please let me know. Thanks again!! I am looking at your pictures as I type and I love your photography and your adorable dogs! Joy
Thanks again....have you seen earthbath anywhere around Hfx, we'll be going over at some point. It does sound like something I could use, i'll have to investigate further.
Also, when you have time, can you tell me how to make the homemade oatmeal shampoo, it sounds interesting.
HI there..sorry i am so late in writing (months I think) I and my husband have been dealing with a lot of health issues and i haven't been so active. Yes, I found Earthbalm (I think that is the name) on PEI and I looked at the hypo allergenic one and there still was an ingredient I wasn't sure about so I emailed the company and I have never heard from them. so I gave up and just use Nature Clean Hypo shampoo for people...the vet said it was ok to use for dogs.
How have you and yours been?
Your pictures of showing the dogs...are they yours. Have you ever found a Cardigan breeder in NS or NB? I would be interested in knowing (just for the future).
I didn't get home to NS for Xmas this year so a bit homesick at times but overall I had a wonderful Xmas here. It was our first one with a dog. What a difference it makes. We gave him so many toys. HE cant' decided which one to play with 1st...it is too funny. Now he is spoiled and keeps sitting on his hind legs to look higher up on the piano (where we put his stocking and bags of gifts). He wants to open toys constantly. So now my husband takes the toys we gave him, rewraps them in tissue paper, puts them in a gift bag and Butter has the fun of reopening them. It makes me laugh!!
What beautiful corgis and you live in such a magnificent place!
I got to meet Rita Mae and had her autograph my book. I just adore her Mrs, Murphy series! My Tucker is my pride and joy and I'm so lucky he's still with me after his cancer. His birthday is this month and he'll be 8 on the 10th!

Tucker and Sensei look great!
My Ruby sleeps on her back occasssionally and I saw your photo of Tucker doing it too.
Quite unusual?
As a result, there is a splitting line of her fur on her back and it took me some time to figure it out.
You can visit my blog dedicated to my 2 dogs, Jack the Beagle & Ruby the Corgi at http://beaglecorgi.blogspot.com/
Take care!
