Profile Information:

Hometown:: New London, Ohio
About Me:: I have a dedicated love for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. These mighty dogs in their little packages are highly intelligent, sturdy, loyal and quite entertaining. I breed the Corgi for ideal standards and great personalities. All my dogs live in the house w/me and are a part of the family.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?: Yes
Website:: http://www.wendtworthcorgis.com
About My Corgi(s):: All my Low Rider's have Champion pedigree's and go threw testing requirements to promote a healthy sound Corgi. I look for smooth movement, flat toplines, great expression, thick sturdy bone, and most importantly..MIND! My dogs get the utmost of care and love and expect the same from any puppy buyers. All my Low Rider's are fed Eukanuba and Sentinel given monthly. My puppies are raised in the home w/my family and are socialized several times a day. I have an AKC Registered Veterinarian who I have a wonderful relationship w/and handles all of the care on my Low Rider adults and pups. Puppies have their nails trimmed every week w/dewormings starting at 2 wks of age and every other wk. following the initial deworming along w/vaccinations at 6 wks before going to their new homes at 8 wks of age. All puppies are sold on a Limited Registration unless references are provided and I feel your worthy of an Open Registration. Contracts per agreement will be signed before releasing said dog. I will allow my studs to service a very selective few outside females upon my evaluation of said females and a health certificate from a veterinarian. I have acquired a Kennel License for my county which allows the county and city to come unannounced to inspect my kennel, and of course AKC. I have also acquired a Vendor's License which makes me pay taxes on my dogs. As a breeder, I feel it is my duty to educate any new owner and be there for the life of any puppy I produce and place.
I have:: Pembroke

I was leaving a message for you when I recieved a phone call....in the mean time the message I was trying to send disappeared. Don't know if you got it or not....Wanted to let you know that Sam and Merry are going to try their hands (guess that should be feet) at sheep herding. Of course, we have to see if they qualify first. I can hardly wait....it is something I have thought of often and now am really excited about the challenge ahead. Wonder if they will be able to stop and listen instead of wanting to just chase the sheep. Merry killed her furry bear last night....I guess the tweeter in the head got to her...because she made one neat hole and pulled the tweeter out....never has done this before. I was surprised because she loved that bear and used it as her pillow. Oh well, no more tweeters in toys....It is so hard to buy safe toys ..... I don't like to purchase any made overseas...don't trust them....got any ideas?

I'm hanging in there. I miss Ches so much. I just found a Corgi at the shelter today. I'm not sure I am ready to adopt another dog. Yet, I think this lil guy is soooooooooo cute. My finances are awful, but it breaks my heart to think of this other Corgi in the shelter. I'm having a hard time dealing with it all.

Thanks for the info....I use the bones also.....They do love their Kongs which I stuff with treats....Will up-date you on the herding when we get started....I can hardly wait...We have gone back into training mode....just making sure of the come response when they are enticed with the things they love to chase....Yesterday was bath day.....I put them both in the tub together and we just spash and shake along, makes for a remarkable clean-up job.....They are so proud of themselves when they are all clean and beautiful....Of course I think they are always beautiful....Sun shining today....still have snow to melt and oh the mess of sand and salt on our roads.....How is your snow situation?

Baxter, the Shelter Corgi was adopted by the family who was #1 in line. :o) I was #2 in line. For me, this was just a confirmation that it wasn't meant to be. I'm just so happy that he found a home, whether it was with me or someone else. I'm doing better. (I've increased my anti-depressants with help from my Dr.) Only temporary solution. I think as soon as spring arrives I will be much better off. I'm going to focus on getting my house ready to sell. Plans for my future include a possible move across the country, so I will use that as something to look forward to and keep my mind occupied.... I have the rest of my life to get another Corgi!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for your care and concern *hugs*

Love your puppy announcement......I do admire the photos you all take....wish I was so inclined......have spent half the morning looking at your puppy pics....makes me want to get another corgi....aren't they just the cutest little fur balls....Merry, Sam and I are off to the park for a little play time away from home....Not a dog park...just one where they can see new sights and smell new smells. Have to take a trip to Pennsylvania Sunday....Guess they are expecting 12-24 inches of snow over the next 36 hours....hope the road are cleared by Sunday. Can hardly wait for spring and the azaleas blooming...

Thank YOU so much for the WELCOME. How are things in Ohio? Skipper and I are in CA, sunny and 50 today. Nice to see a responsible breeder promoting the well being of these little guys. My gal was a back yard breeder exta.............my Cairn new her mama and when this little gal failed to selll, I was offered her before the lady moved. I have had these guys in the past and just love them, altho there are not a lot of them out here everyone asks "What type of dog?". Your guys are beautiful. Thanx again for the warm welcome.

Angus

Thanks. Happy to be here. Paws seem correctly positioned for a corgi but I'm not so sure about the ears and tail. ; ) And your pups are beautiful.

I noticed on your page an article about low-calorie dog foods (in my house, known as "fat boy dog food". How much do you feed your dogs? Angus came to me as a 2 year old, 19 lb throw away and way too skinny: you could see his ribs. I already know he has hip dysplasia so I want to keep his weight down. He fattened up to 25 lbs, which I think is 2 or 3 lbs too much. Now he gets about a cup total of the Royal Canin low fat food, about 230 calories/cup; I share veggies; whatever I can't prevent my family from sharing; and whatever he can pilfer from my sister's dog's bowl. A cup seems like so little and while Angus isn't gaining weight, he's not losing any either.

Angus is my second rescue corgi and so different from my first. Michael was a much bigger dog at about 30 lbs and, unlike most corgis, was not a chow-hound. He'd eat when he was hungry and pass by the kibble when he wasn't hungry. ("Eat that? No, that's dog food. I'll eat later.")

I know Angus is getting enough exercise--our schedule is the same as I kept with Michael.

Got any ideas for me?

Thank you for the welcome ^_^ you have some amazing action pics! how many times did you have to throw that ball to get those shots?

Angus

I'll get some "weight photos" later today. Yes, his ribs are there but there's not enough of a waist. I'd call Angus "slightly obese" based on the healthy-weight charts in the vet's office. He's already getting tramadol and rimadyl for his hips: any amount of running round and Angus comes up lame the next day. To diagnose the chronic lameness when I first got him, his hips were x-rayed: I'd never seen my vet so distressed as when he showed me the x-rays. As distressing is that Angus was used as a stud by a puppy mill breeder. As cute as he is, Angus never should have been bred.

My first corgi, Michaelangelo, did very well on Life's Abundance. Angus gained weight on the L's A (good thing initially); I switched over to the L's A reduced calorie food, which is essentially their regular kibble but puffed up for volume (still gaining); and then Royal Canin Low Fat/Calorie (25 lb maintenance).

So, I've got a little dog, 2/3 the size of my first; I've got a dog for whom I need to measure out food carefully, unlike my first; and I've got a dog with hip issues, unlike my first.

Guess it's true that every dog is different.

Angus

Pretty sure it's his hips for two reasons. You know those chopstick rests that you sometimes get in Asian restaurants--the long, flat, white ceramic ones? That's the shape of Angus's hip sockets. Almost completely flat. Second, Angus rests with his back feet pointed out from his body at a 90 degree angle. Straight out. Must be comfortable because he does this a lot. I've never seen another dog do this.

In March of last year, Angus was running around with my sister's GSD, Grendel. Grendel slipped and crashed onto Angus's back leg and he came up lame the next day. Vet initially treated with Rimadyl for inflammation but the lameness persisted over several weeks--Angus seemed sound, then limped, then seemed sound again. Vet took x-rays, thinking that he had damaged his knee, but found the knees were fine and the hips weren't. Meds were switched to Tramadol in prep for hip surgery. Over the course of the next two days, the lameness ceased--dog needed painkillers, not anti-inflammatories--and I canceled the surgery.

Doing some caloric research, I found http://www.petobesityprevention.com/tools.htm. The weight loss pdf and the calorie count of common treats were interesting and useful. Those stinky, sticky treats are much more calorie-dense than I expected. No wonder dogs love them.

We are heading to Pennsylvania tomorrow....They have a ton of snow....I just hope the road will be OK by then....I know the dogs and my granddaughter will have a ball together in the snow.....I thought all the wind we had yesterday (no snow) was a foreteller of spring...guess I was wrong; they are predicting snow for next Tuesday and Wednesday....You know this is all wrong for our area....I don't even have a good pair of boots....keep thinking the snow is going to stop. Merry and Sam are quickly becomming official greeters at the parks in the area....We try to go to one of them each day....just for a change of pace.

Angus photos, from the top down on this morning's walk. Last weigh in at vet was 24.5 lb. I'm pleased about that but still think another 2 lb. loss would be good. What do you think?

Angus with his feet perpendicular to his spine... This position seems so wrong to me.

Angus

Thanks for the insight. I think that we'll see how Angus manages with the painkillers/anti-inflammatories before surgery. He's happy. He runs. He wrestles with my sister's GSD. Could be that his hips hold up well and he never needs surgery. That would be the best outcome. My sister's first GSD had both hips repaired and it was traumatic for everybody. Long term, the dog did great and had many good years on the repaired hips but the recovery was hard.

Weird, isn't it, how those back feet point out. Angus is the only dog that I've ever seen do this. It looks so uncomfortable to me.

Weight loss of two pounds, that's still my goal. I know 19 lbs. is too skinny. I know 25 lbs is too chunky. Midway between would be good. More green beans!

Trip to Pennslyvania was a long drive, but no problems. My daughter-in-law came through her surgery well. Unfortunately the carcinoma did a lot more damage to her face then was first thought....so she has a lot of stitches...but the good report is that the face should heal and they feel certain that they got all of the cancer. Sure hope so. I stayed with them for 9 days....just trying to help some. Merry and Sammy went with me....We arrived to a lot of snow piled up and it was hard to get the dogs out without them getting really dirty. I think they must use coal cinders for traction on the roads. Frequent bathing of their legs and underbellies took care of the dirt. They loved coming home to their yard.....snow was all gone here when we got home. Of course they will miss all the hugging and cuddeling(sp?) that they get when they are visiting....Hope all is well at your home..Marion

When do you find time to sleep...emails at 5:12a.m. I really admire the way you care for your dogs and puppies. You are to be commended. Did you see the warning about flea control for our dogs....Seems that some products are making a lot of animals ill....I usually use Frontline Plus.....but took a break from it last year....just fed them well and did add garlic ....No problems with fleas....or ticks....really do not want to give the internal flea control tablets....Thanks for your nice comments about my daughter-in-law. I too believe that God will take care of her. Marion

I used Bio Spot once too, it seemed to work....luckily I have never experienced a flea problem with my dogs.....but don't want to get one either. Guess I will just stick with Frontline for now and see how it goes. Get some sleep. Thanks for the prompt answer.

I was watching the video of your newest litter with their sweet, gentle, mom, and it reminded me of what our breeder said when we got Jack. She keeps hers til 10 weeks, so of course they are fully weaned several weeks before they leave. After weaning is complete, she put the mom, Roxi, back in with the pups to continue socialization, and she said Roxi was so rough playing with them that whenever they saw her coming, they'd run the other way! No wonder my little fluff-ball was like Jaws when I brought him home!
Take care. You do a lovely job with your dogs.

Thank you for the welcome. I enjoyed your website and the great photos of your dogs. I have one senior corgi ( who is still active, cuddly and talkative). So, I particularly liked the puppy pics. Also the one with corgi in bed with daughter. Oz sleeps with my daughter too.

Thank you so much for the friend request! We have two and of course we've never had a litter here, but we live across the street from a very big park and we see a lot of puppies. Madison had one litter before we got her, and coming from a breeder's house was probably around many more, and she is positively wonderful with puppies and gets very excited when she sees them. Jack on the other hand always looks very confused by the ones (under 4 months or so) that seem to be too young to have much of a smell. The look on his face is "It looks like a dog, but I don't smell anything??" so I keep a close eye on him with young puppies; even though he's always been good, a confused dog is not a predictable dog.
Take care and I hope your girl on the show circuit continues to do well.
