About Me:

Had a corgi, Asta, purchased from a registered breeder as a first dog; hubby never had a dog and wanted to be able to see the parents so we went that route. We had to help her cross the bridge at age 11 due to cancer. Our second corgi, Sophie, was a rescue girl from Lakeshore PWCs; we had to help her cross the bridge at age 11 also due to cancer. New puppy Poppy is from a breeder; this is the last baby puppy we will have the energy for!

Welsh Corgi Breeder?

No

About My Corgi(s):

Asta - My first tricolor corgi. Very smart, not too good with other dogs but great with people, esp. kids. Used to take her to school with me. Loved to swim in the lake to retrieve her tennis ball. Had grandpa trained to throw her ring toy as soon as he walked in the door. We had to help her across the bridge due to an aggressive cancer five years ago. Still miss her.
Sophie - My second tricolor corgi. Very sweet, very ladylike, rather shy. Rescue girl; came with lots of odd behaviors/issues but got much better. Would NOT get wet if she had any say. Had seizures which are pretty well controlled with meds. Did not seem to know how to play with toys but loved to chase and herd other dogs. Dxd with lymphoma, underwent chemo, was in remission for a year before it came back. Had to help her cross the bridge in 2015. Heartbroken.
Poppy- new puppy in fall 2016. Sassy, sweet, smart. Enjoying watching her explore the house and yard. UPDATE: At a year old, she had grown into quite a pretty little lady; she is very petite. She is also very smart and loves to learn "lessons." Still likes to yell at the neighbor dachshunds a little too much, and doesn't know when to leave the bigger dogs at the dog park alone. A wonderful snuggler.
