About Me:
I'm Emily ^_^ and I've recently become sucked into what I like to call "corgi love" I've always thought that people who were totally in love with their corgi either had no life or were just really that lonely ^_^" (yeah i know...a bit ignorant) But now I see why people love the breed.

I made a video of my corgi and someone invited me to join this site so I figured I'd give it a try ^_^

In my spare time, I love to spend time with my corgi and his rescue buddy, Sid. Who I took in after I'd had my corgi for about 5 months. Sid is a lab mix and him and my Corgi love one another dearly.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
Yes
About My Corgi(s):
My Corgi's name is Tobaway. Yes it is a bit unusual but so is he. He made 1 year on November 5th...He turned 1 in November and I turned 21 so we had a birthday together lol

Tobaway was born with one good eye and an eye that never developed. The breeder's wife was very close to him and said he was the runt and quite a "love baby".

I held his brothers first because I did my research and knew about Corgis and their eye problems but out of all his brothers Tobaway just stood out.

When I held him to my chest he relaxed and signed as a stroked him and talked softly to him. I knew then that he was meant to be my dog.

Tobaway has been the joy of my life and he seems to get around fine with his one eye. I'm looking forward to adopting a female corgi some time soon ^_^
I have:
Pembroke

    Welcome to Austin! I think you'll enjoy the city.

    I'd love to get a group of Corgis together in Austin. So far Charlie hasn't met another Corgi. The 12th meetup was for any breed under 30 lbs. I'm posting the Small Dog Meetups on this forum hoping to get more Austin Corgis to show up. It is a pretty active group with meetings most Saturdays.

    They are great little dogs. I'm sure the one eye doesn't hold yours back at all. Plus, it looks like he's always winking at you. :)
  • Kendal & Bleu (Chris & Randy)

    Your Corgi is so cute, I'm glad you found each other, we love our Corgi too and have joined the club of Corgi lovers.
  • John Wolff

    I'd nickname him "Saburo" after Saburo Sakai, the great Japanese fighter pilot ace of WWII who lost an eye but actually returned to aviation combat, successfully, and survived the war.
    You must, of course, get him a black eye patch so he can be a pirate for Halowe'en. Lessee: notched cutlass, eye patch, bandana, gold ear ring somehow....?
