WELCOME DOUG! your baby is soooo cute. Is she/he a fluffy???

Welcome. What a handsome boy! Nice pics.

Welcome!

Gromit is beautiful! What ears!!! Holly looks very sweet too. I like that picture with Gromit on the motorcycle. Corgi-hog! :)

Welcome! Gromit has the most tender eyes. He sure is a handsome fellow. Hope you enjoy the site. Holly is adorable, my nephew and sister in law both have Dachshunds. The nephews is named Henry and Sami just loooooooves to have him over for a play date.

Gromit is adorable! His fur looks really soft!

Welcome Doug and Gromit! Awww, Gromit is such a cutie!

Hello and Welcome!! Gromit is adorable!!

Thank you Doug! We've been in North County since 1976; I grew up and went to school in Escondido, and after getting married we bounced around between San Marcos, Escondido and Vista. You are right, it is quite crowded and I worry about my teens learning to drive in this traffic. But it is still really pretty here. Good thing we don't live further north, since Sidney hates the rain!

Gromit is a handsome fellow! Love his expression-- gorgeous dog! :)

Gromit is a cutie. Did you get him from a breeder here in AZ?

Thanks, all, for the comments!

Alice, Gromit came from Jean York (Coalbyn Kennel). Jean and Ed were in Herferd, AZ for many years but relocated to California last year. Jean was the breeder of my first two Corgis, Watson & Tinsel.

I love what you say about Gromit: "What he lacks in a tail he makes up for with his tongue." I could totally say the same thing about my Izzie! Gromit is adorable by the way!

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese, Gromit!!! - Hello from another cheese lover Jeter.

Have a nice day=]

thank you. yes!!!! im soooo glad hes fine. it disappear after 1 day, a huge relief=]
he is much better now, today was a really nice day here in Connecticut`i took Lobo to the park for some walking ~ but he ended up running everywherer, hes so energetic~~~hope Gromit had also a nice day . take care all . greetings from Lobo=]Delete Comment

It was nice meeting you at the picnic and you took great pictures. I forgot my camera so I'm glad you shared yours. If you want to post Finnigan's name on his pics you can. I think he was the only Cardi there but you may post it just the same. :)

Hi Doug, The photos came out super. I have them posted in the photos section of WagsnWiggles@yahoo.com - I haven't figured out how to get all 66 pics on this site yet. Thanks so much for helping me out! Frank.

You're right about mycorgi.com being way more fun than Facebook! (Though it can be fun strolling through Facebook once in a while.)

Gromit is picture perfect. He looks like he belongs on a greeting card or a calendar. Such a sweet smile. I love your agility equipment. That is awesome! I made my husband come and look at it. I think he should make some for our house! (By the way.....now he is mad at you...lol.) Nice bike too! I also checked out your wifes website. She is an incredible artist. Wow.....quite a life you lead.......Corgis, bikes and art! Nice!

Thanks for the welcome! Everyone keeps telling us he has nice markings so it must be true. In fact we were paid extra for Hank because the breeder said the same thing about him. I'll post more pictures so you can get a better look. We love him non-the-less! Thanks again!

Hi, Gromit and Doug. Thanks for welcoming us. I just love the agility park you built in your back yard.

I love Gromit Land, can LO and I come to visit?

Greetings,
hi my friends, hows everything with Gromit?. seems like hes going great,
having fun activities-good to know everything is alright
take care all.
Arlyn & Lobo=]

Hello!. I just wanted to say Hi, and ask a question. My corgi is also an agility dog. I am trying to set up a back yard course. I want to buy a Tunnel Like the ones you have but i can find any to buy. Where did you get your tunnels????? Thank you.

Thanks for your nice comment. Isn't agility the best fun? Bertie had no concentration this Sat. in our weekly class -- he was consumed with spring fever and an ardent desire to clean the area of all dropped cookies!

Thank you!! I always wanted a Corgi and a mini dachshund. Now that we got Conan I think i want another Corgi!! The wiener dog is my friends, she has 2 dachshunds 1 of them wanted nothing to do with Conan it was so funny. P.S Gromit looks sooo cute and cuddly =)

Doug and Gromit,
This is a long story but here goes. I started raising blue heelers, red heelers about 30 years ago. At times they are great, when they kill the cat or the chickens or lay in the shade all day every day, only to get up and bite somebody coming to the house, you get tired of them. I cannot stand Border Collies, the nervous attitude and the you cannot be friends with them irritates me. Yes they can do wonderful things when properly trained but I like to be friends with my dogs and the really good Border Collies have to be kenneled unless working or they won't obey. I saw an Add for Icelandic Shepherd puppies and bought one of them to try. They are nice dogs but not what I wanted, I still have her, she is 14 or something like that. Then I saw a Corgi on the TV and thought that is one cool dog and if they herd I want one. Took me two years to convince the wife I needed one. She finally gave in and I got one for my birthday. He was awesome, he would work till he could not walk, started shaking if you said cow, and we both feel in love with the breed. They will work, be your friend, be your playmate, they are just good dogs. Why would you want anything else? Corky got killed and so we decided to replace him with two, which lead to four and they all want to work for you anytime, anywhere. They are wonderful companions no matter if I am working cows or swathing hay, they want to be with you all day and all night. They cannot go for a 20 mile ride to gather cows like other breeds but they will for sure give you licks when you get done with what you are doing. I cannot imagine not having them

Nothing like a Corgi. They've got it all in a small-med. size pkg: smarts; humor, protective nature & scratch the surface...a sweet-sensibility. We love Lucy so much that we refuse to "remember" her birthday. To us she's always 2 years old!

PS She has lots of herding instinct: herds people ankles (if permitted!) and runs in huge herding circles on the back lawn. Gotta get her to a herding class.

I just read your remembrance pages for Watson and Tinsel. Made me cry. So touching and beautiful. Watson looks a lot like my LaVerne. ( shhhhhhh....dont tell her I said she looks like a boy! )

@Gromit & Doug-Your mom would be appalled (as our 3 grown up kids are) that Lucy sleeps on our bed nightly. Actually, I'm appalled each morning when I see all her hairs on the tank tops I sleep in. Yet, Jack & I sleep so much better when she's snuggled next to us. PS Yes, she has kitchen rights too as our kitchen is part of our den (the area she was initially delegated to, before she got run of the house and us!).

PS I haven't even found your pages for Watson and Tinsel. I will have plenty of Kleenex on hand.

hahah I guess that saying is very true!

By the way, I looked up Musselshell, MT on the map and you guys really are way out there!
We are still 16 mi S. of Musselshell in the Bull Mountains. Fresh, clear air, no trains, no planes and no automobiles...

Maybe you should start a Corgi Dude Ranch so all the city slicker Corgis can get back to their roots?

Now, THAT's an interesting idea... that would be a fun thing to do!

Doug, I just realized that I accidentally welcomed you and Watson to Corgis remembered. I corrected the mistake. Forgive me Gromit. PS Love the name Gromit.

Thank you for your gift. It made me very happy.

Who is the the beautiful tri playing with Gromit in some of the photos? BTW, Gromit has a gorgeous coat and the sweetest expressions.

OK. So I'm confused––my normal state of mind. Who does Night live with? He's a beauty like his brother. PS. You are right in not allowing your Corgis in the bedroom. Lucy sheds like crazy, yet, we love to sleep with her. Never again!

I understand completely. Corgi fur on the bed is like my husband's snoring keeping me awake. Grateful for both! I googled Gromit's breeder and found that Lucy's siblings may have been in the same matches. Not sure if they are littler mates, but same sire and dam as Lucy. It's a small Corgi world. Hope it stays that way! Nothing comforted me more than getting Lucy when we had to put our 14 year old Corgi (Dylan) down! She is a spark and a joy.

I assume (and I know what happens when I assume!) that Night is still being shown. Is there a chance when the breeder stops showing him that you can reunite the brothers? One of our Corgis was a rescue from a breeder that just didn't have the time and attention to take care of her little girl. She was the best gift we ever gave.

PS I'm not usually this gabby (yeah, right!) but did you get your cool graph paper background through the corgi.com apps?

Excellent page. You did a great job. I'll dust off Lucy's pedigree and scan it for you. She has a far better pedigree than me!

Well you did a great job on your page. I am a closet nerd. I love techie things, but lately there's no time. Happily, mycorgi.com is the first site I've ever enjoyed, and I've done more than my share of gabbing already.

BTW, I posted a photo of Dylan and Emily, litter mates, on the Corgis Remembered site. Fortunately for us they didn't die in the same year. We got Lucy several months after losing Dylan at 14 yrs. I would love to get a tri puppy but I think Lucy would stage a revolution.

I just googled your breeder. Jean had a puppy entered in a show with Lucy's litter mate, who is now CH Nebriowa Full of charm. Check her out: http://www.pwccsc.org/puppy2006.html

Glad I'm not alone. I get easily confused. I sometimes post something twice, or can't find it. Do you know of any way to email photos to this site or do you have to upload each one? Just what they need, more photos of Lucy and her predecessors!

Gromit is such a cutie!

Thanks. Does it let you add several photos at the same time?

I love every one of my Corgi breeders. They are extraordinary people and I've been blessed to have their dogs. That is why I took some offense a while back when I felt that newbies to the world of Corgis were posting opinions as facts and I felt bashing Corgi breeders, whom I feel, on the whole, are among the best by far. European judges often praise the quality and conformation of the US Corgis. I'm sure that Jean knows Tim Mathiesen, Judy Hart, Pat Pettipiece Schilling, as they were all N. CA breeders at one time. Judy is now in TN and Pat may have retired. I still miss Blandie Ijams, Roughouse, NY breeder. She actually came to visit Dylan and Emily when she came to CA to judge a show. She was a hoot! RIP Blandie, Dylan, Emily, Watson, Tinsel and all of the rest. Our lives wouldn't have been the same without you!
