Profile Information:

About Me:: I am the owner of Mrs. Wiley Quixote, our beautiful red headed tri colored corgi puppy. She is from Poso Creek Puppies where the best corgi breeder is! Parents Sweet Opals Paris and Gilby What a Rockstar. My name is Priscilla and Quixotes daddy is Daniel, my husband. We love her to death, as she has been one of the greatest companions anyone could ask for. She goes everywhere with us from the beach in southern california, to snowy days in big bear and swimming though the beautiful cascade lakes of oregon.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No
About My Corgi(s):: Quixote was born June 1st 2010 from posocreekpuppies. She is a tri colored baby. She is spunky, energetic, kind hearted and incredibly smart. She constantly finds ways to outsmart us and has a natural herding ability, although shes never been trained to herd yet. She did enjoy a couple of years in agility classes at zoom room in southern california. She is the most loving puppy ever! Also incredibly spoiled!
Her favorite things to do are going to the dog beach, hiking, and using acrobatics to balance on furniture to try to reach for food. She is an attention hog and loves massages almost more than treats.
She is also a meticulous and orderly pup, she notices if something is out of the ordinary or not where its suppose to be, and will bark until its moved. She also enjoys her part time job herding up dogs at the dog park and breaking up any fights or aggression she spots there.
However our favorite thing to do in our spare time, is to cuddle up and take a nap. : )
I have:: Pembroke

Welcome to Priscilla and Mrs. Wiley Quixote, did you know that Christopher Lemley, the profile right next to you also got his corgi from the same breeder? I don't often come across the same breeder, especially right next to each other!!! Chasing vacuum cleaners? You are lucky, most corgis are afraid of them (my husband even tried putting his baseball hat on the vacuum to try to "fool" our 1st corgi pup HAHAHA didn't work. Every corgi since has been afraid, I think they teach each other. Anyway, welcome, and enjoy the new pup!!! Carol, Lucky and Sonny

Welcome Priscilla & Quixote! Just love your profile info! I too have a vacuum nut! Callie thinks vacuuming is fetch time! So we both get a work out...I vaccum and she fetches whatever toy is handy! Best wished to you both...Lori, Callie & Cooper

Yep. :) Kirby and Lena are both Poso pups, and both were sired by Gilby just by different dams. We were very fortunate to find a breeder as contentious and concerned with the health and welfare of the breed as Kim. Both dogs have been amazing so far.

Our pup, Bonny, is from Poso Creek, parents are Gilby and Paris. She is a real live wire, boundless energy but then crashes when time to go to bed. I am not real good about kennel training like most are. Bonny sleeps on the bed between my husband and myself with her head on the pillow and belly up. The she tries to shove the cat off the bed when the cat comes in! Hard to go to sleep because they are so funny.

OOOHHH! What a cutie! My little one's (Sophie) sire is also Gilby. She's a little fireball, and loves to jump in the pool for a swim.

I know, I need to! I've been sick and between that and work I haven't been able to take any pictures. Thats no excuse though, he has already grown so much after the first week. I'll start taking and posting more pics in the next couple of days. You have some gorgeous pics of Quixote, looks like she found was lucky and found a good owner. :)

Thank you for the friend request. You have one gorgeous Tri baby!

Priscilla -- you said you were thinking about getting another Corgi. Some people like to get the same sex, because they feel they will have fewer problems. I think age makes the difference. Our male is Harley, and he is now about 18 months old. Sophie is just 6 months old. We had some initial squabbles for a few weeks, until the "pecking order" was established, and Sophie learned Harley's one rule -- stay clear of his food bowl. They get along fine now, and have a lot of fun together. After they eat in the morning, they have a "road race" around the furniture in two rooms, and through the doggie door and back in again. They are a lot of fun! You're going to love having this dog in your life!

Priscilla can't really help with the question about a second corgi right now. However we will be adding a second one in about a month. Sami will be almost 19 months by then. We will be going to Ohio, taking Sami with us, to get her brother or sister. Haven't decided yet which pup. I believe a lot has to do with the introduction. Would be glad to let you know how it goes in about 6 weeks. By the way Quixote is a beautiful girl.

I'm afraid we only have Sami now, our beloved Tedi crossed the rainbow bridge in 2008. Sami is just the opposite that Tedi was, which is exactly what we wanted. Wendtworths Corgis, Wendy, matched us up so perfectly that we are driving to Ohio to get our second puppy from her. I can hardly wait for her to see Sami all grown up!

Very fitting--desert fox as we live in the deserts of New Mexico. She is our very own "devil dog". That was the first book she got a hold of Run with the Devil Dog so the nick name stuck haha

Marion and Vern

Wendy is the same way and has turned into a very dear friend. We wouldn't be driving over 3,000 miles round trip if we didn't believe in her as we do. I have entered into count down time for our trip 28.5 days but whose counting....ME!

You've been to WA before? East side or west side? Sept. is the best month for either, I think. Good weather, no heat, no bugs. Al & I will spend 9 days in the north Cascades starting Labor Day.
Just be sure she doesn't get loose; young pup in an unfamiliar environment.
Great pics of an adorable pup, especially with the light glinting off her eyes.
Get her a volleyball.

We've been having a cool summer, but the next week or two look to be warmer.
September can start getting cooler, but it's my favorite backpacking time.

I havn't introduced Tucker to any of my other animals yet. I figure he'd be too rough with them at this age. I'm not sure if he is really aware of them yet. Though I know they are aware of him, heh. I noticed Quixotes ears have been up for sometime now, about how old was she when that happened? Tucker's are still down. He's a late bloomer. :P

Aug 14, 2010
Christopher Lemley

Tucker's ears seems like the are on the verge of finally standing up. I havn't looked into different dog food for him yet, so far I've kept him on Purina Puppy Pro plan, what Kim had him on. I've also been supllementing that with yogart, which Kim reccomended for his ears. I've never heard of puppy vitamin gel, I'll have to look into that. Tucker is extremely friendly to other people and other dogs. He isn't intimidated by big dogs one bit. That's all he has seen! I bet our dogs have tons of similarities.

sabrina is ajusting very slowly to the new pup . she has her days when she wants nothing to do with him and day where she is curious of him . she if finaly starting to play with him . i think the reason she is taking so long to a just to him is becouse she came from a puppy mill and my dad think some one abused her when she was a puppy

Hi Priscilla! Soon :)

Hi, Quixote! Bowser got to see photos of you today and he gave us a lovely corgi smile.

I Noticed you had a Bite Problem in another thread. At first Bowser was very aggressive about biting. In a Stern Solid Grunty Voice i say "No Bite" kind of like an angry parent dog and give him an angry facial expression, then once he stopped biting, i would make him sit then praise him for a good sit.

Keeping the little ones from biting us by misdirecting alot of their chewing energy to different toys helps alot. Also keep them occupied with learning tricks when you have their attention.

Your Tone of voice is very important when using No BITE. My GF would say No bite in a nice tone and well he continued, since then she has made a discernable difference in her TONE so he understood what he was doing was bad.

Also since Quixote is Bowsers sister, have you tried taking an empty water bottle with label and cap removed. and letting her play with it. Tucker (Chris Lemley's puppy our puppies brother) apparently has the same love of playing with empty water bottles. It consumes alot of time for the dog. they love the plastic crinkle sound.

Anyhow Good luck with the bite situation.

Sep 2, 2010
Jonathan P, Kim N. and Bowser

Hahah thats so cute, the water bottle i guess is helping you even if its the opposite effect. Considering the waterbottle crinkle scares your pup. I would assume then that a Can filled with coins would be highly effective in discipline measures.

Has your little gal learned any New Tricks? I started creating trick routines for bowser. He loves these ZUKE mini's Chicken flavored treats. Up until recently he was only semi motivated by treats. Once i switched to these new treats, he does EVERY trick in the book just for 1.

Sep 3, 2010
Jonathan P, Kim N. and Bowser

Another thing, If you do decide to use Coins in a Can, make sure you do not show the puppy your shaking it, so that she does not associate you with the Sound.

hahaha what an awesome coincidence indeed. =D Tomorrow bowser gets to meet my aunts dog.

hi there, i did get Toast from a breeder in Livermore, CA.
Fluffy corgi's are great!

Here's the breeder's contact info.

Hey there. How is Quixote doing. I noticed she is about the same size as Bowser now. Did you finish your vaccinations? we get the final Rabies shot this week but 2 weeks ago he finished his puppy shot series. Hope all is well!

Sep 23, 2010
Jonathan P, Kim N. and Bowser

Glad to hear your vacation was a success. So Bowser is not a fan of holding still, but he is now getting used to letting us trim his nails and file them, under the condition we give him treats and talk nicely to him during the whole process. I also practice holding his paws daily and play with his ears and open his mouth for a minute just so he gets used to the idea of someone handling them. The Vets love Bowsers behavior and he hasn't cried once during the shots. Doesn't fuss and ive yet to see any actual aggression from him in any way. He tends to greet people and get over excited. He is fearful of other dogs barking. He does not enjoy the bath, when i try to run the water, he runs very fast and it takes me about 5 mins to catch him. Potty Training is tough, he will always pee on the carpet if he does not see the potty patch around. He does always Poo on the potty patch. Since his shot series is complete we will start taking him outside now to try to get him used to going outside to potty. Let you know how that goes.

Tucker knows sit and stay well. There are a number of places outside and in my house he isn't allowed in yet, but I'm briefly able to leave a door open and tell him to stay without any worry of him coming in. Down is still hard for him, he doesn't like shake, and he will only come if a treat is involved. I've been slacking on his trick training, but sit and stay is enforced many times throughout the day,

Tucker will sometimes watch Delp, the bearded dragon, in his cage. I'll often have the two outside while I'm gardening. Delp in his outside cage, and Tucker on a leash. He pretty much ignores the snakes, when I have them out, but I do tell him to leave it. Other than that, I havn't interacted him much with my other animals.

Quixote is so adorable and I'm so glad to meet another poso creek puppy! and it looks like our girls share Gilby as their sire :D

Debbie Algieri & Bella Boo

The biting will slow up as she get older. I was so glad when Bella stopped. Puppy's are so cute nd Quixote is adorable. I miss the puppy days sometimes but really enjoy the fact that she is completely training and has passed her CGC test. We are taking a break right now but will probably get into agility after the first of the year!

Thanks for the welcome! Milo will need to meet his half sister some day since you are in LA!

Debbie Algieri & Bella Boo

Bella's parents are "Cody front and Center" and "Star Views first and Foremost". Both of them were born in 2007. Your little girls is just so cute. Makes me want to get another puppy! But I will wait a while since have 6 cats at home as well plus Bella. Just keep up with the no biting comand with her and lots of toys and see will stop as soon as some of her adult teeth come in. She is one lucky pup to have such a loving owner.

Aww Q is starting to lose her cap too. Bowser is losing his Black cap color and his hind leg and near his rib black fur. Its turning brown.

Oct 3, 2010
Jonathan P, Kim N. and Bowser

Hey Priscilla =D, So every trick was taught to Bowser by me and my GF. Pretty much we would train him 1 trick a week, then add in tricks hes learned in the passed weeks. Also if we have guests over we ask they also request him do tricks before they hand him a treat just so he recognizes that he should always be doing a trick for a treat even from strangers. It usually requires 1 night of molding the trick, and the 2nd day to get him to recognize the handsignal.

Jonathan P, Kim N. and Bowser

Interestingly enough i cant tell if he has adult teeth or puppy teeth. Maybe i can have a Vet tell us since we also do not know how much he weighs.
