About My Corgi(s):
His name is Pete. I know everyone says this about their corgi, but he's the best dog alive. He's only 9 months old, but he's already a perfect gentleman. People are always commenting on him when we take him on walks. He draws a crowd wherever he goes. And it's completely irrational how much we love that dog. We love him so much, we cook him meals. That's just too much, but it's entirely worth it.
I have:
Pembroke

    Read Joanna Kimball's blogachondroplasia is dogs It's fun right now 'cause she has new puppies (Cardis). This post talks about why you need to take it easy with corgi puppies. Our breeder was quite firm with me about "no long hikes or big challenges until 1 years old"; Joanna's post details why. You definitely want to avoid growth plate injuries, particularly in the wrist. Don't let him be jumping down off high furniture etc.
    I'd think gently hikes would be OK -- I never did understand what the big fuss was back then, I thought puppy = indestructible. But I guess he's just about made the 1-year mark, huh?
    Look out for slippery floors, too; we put out nonskid throw-rugs on all the landing/takeoff zones.
    Get him one of those 8" children's basketballs to roll around.
    Once he's grown, you'll never be able to outwalk him.
    FYI, y'know those double chest-harnesses they sell for dogs? I'm designing one that you can tie out of about 7' of flat 1" webbing, no buckles, weighs 1/4 as much as the one we bought (which doesn't work well as a walking harness, rubs a sore). I'll post it here in the collar FAQ when I've got it perfected. Basically a climbing harness. I need something to belay the dog on steep snow, scary river crossings, and fords.
