About Me:
Hi!
My name is Paige and my 8 year old pembroke corgi's name is Baxter! We are thrilled to find this site! It's SO cute. We look forward to networking with everyone. Baxter was rescued from the SPCA in 2002. He was a "stray at large". I'm so glad we found each other -- we are like "peas and carrots". We look forward to meeting some of you! Paige :)
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No
About My Corgi(s):
Baxter's "Likes": soft play toys he can "marinate" with tons of licks then tear apart, BALLS-BALLS-BALLS.....he can't get enough of playing fetch -- like the energizer bunny, resting under the coffee table or (when hot) the bathroom tile floor, when Mom gets home from work, EVERYONE -- doesn't know a stranger, rides in the car, watching over his Mommy!

Baxter's "Dislikes": hard play toys (unless it's a ball!), the vacuum cleaner, getting his teeth brushed, his vitamins/supplements/chinese herbs unless they are in "pill pockets", the FedEx/UPS/trucks (anything that drives by our house that is big and loud!)
I have:
Pembroke

    Hi Paige! Wrigley and I live in Dallas as well. I think some of us are getting together Tuesday at 7pm at the Plano Dog Park for a Corgi playdate. Check out North Texas Corgis for the details. :)

    HI Paige!
    I'm certainly no expert on recognizing a natural bob tail...I had no idea corgis were even born with tails until I met Sidney!
    I have heard that there are some breeders who have managed to breed toward a natural dock, but I don't know for sure. Based on Sidney and the other undocked corgis I have met, they all have the full bushy tail with the white tip. Also there are a few breeders who are members here who have decided they will no longer be docking their pup's tails. They have posted pictures so you can see what they look like. If you go to "view" "forum" and search "dock" or "tail" you will get a bunch of threads where the topic has been discussed.

    What I have heard is that if you look closely at the end of your dog's nub, if he was docked at the vet there will be a little bald spot. It's mentioned in one of the topics, but I've got to finish making dinner or else I'd search for it for you.

    Tell Baxter Sidney says "woof!" :)

    I love stories of rescued animals (We have four rescue cats here with our two Cardis) Baxter is very lucky to have you as a mom! :-)
