- About My Corgi(s):
- Sidney is our first purebred corgi and we are thrilled to have him. He was born 7/11/07. We planned to start him in agility training, but there was a long waiting list. So while waiting for an opening, we took classes for therapy dog training. As it turns out, he's a pretty good therapy dog, so we stuck with that and never got around to agility. Now he is training as a Rally dog. We love it! He's one smart little character! Oh, and he's undocked, so his beautiful tail attracts a lot of attention - good attention.
On August 30th, Sidney suddenly came up lame in his hind left leg. The next day we got xrays for him and found out he has severe hip dysplasia. On Sept 7th he had a Femoral Head Ostectomy to relieve the pain. His right hip is not in great shape either but we're hoping that with glucosamine supplements and exercise we can keep it healthy. *Update* You would never know Sid has surgery now. He moves beautifully. The water therapy and supplements have worked wonders.
Bruce is our corgi/elkhound (?) mix. We rescued him from the brink of euthanasia when he was approximately 10-11 years old (he had a day or two left to go). He's about 16 now and his only sign of his advanced age are bad teeth and slow mornings. I adore Brucie and he worships me. He's my funny short angel with a puffball tail (thanks to the elkhound side). He's about 18 now and going strong.
Chester is our "tall dog". He's a black dane/lab mix that we got from a "free to good home" ad in the local newspaper. He's also old, about 15 years old. We know his age because we've had him 14 years, and he was an adult when we brought him home! He's a very serious dog and not very affectionate compared to the corgis, but he has been a very good dog, just aloof. We can't take Chester as many places as the shorties because he does not travel well. He's almost 17 now and has definitely slowed down. *UPDATE* Chester had a sudden decline and was sent to the bridge on April 15th 2013 at the age of 17.
In February 2013 we added Connie to our family. She's a little tri corgi who was picked up as a stray and put up for adoption at our local Humane Society. She's a real sweet girl and loves to play ball. She's learning a lot from Sidney about life here. We can't believe that her family never came to claim her.She's got good manners and she gets along well with the other dogs and the cats, and everyone she meets is her best friend.
And the pack grows! In November we took in a black-headed tri who we named Copper. He and Connie were both born in 2009 and they are great buddies and a ball-chasing tag team. Copper is sweet and cuddly and eager to please.

Hello Geri & Sidney :), Thanks for the warm welcome. My corgis name is Thor, he hasn't arrived yet to my home but he is going to be very soon with us on July 4th. Actually there really aren't a lot of corgis here in Puerto Rico, when I found out a friend brought to her house two Corgis one from Georgia and another from Wisconsin and started to breed I couldn't be more happy. We have a facebook page and I also recommend them to this one, is filled with great information and some helpful guidelines to raise a healthy Corgi :D.

that is such good news! Good for you. Corgis thrive on being active. they love having a job to do...rally, obedience, agility, herding, tracking, lore coursing etc. Glad you are giving him a job to do....keep it fun!

Hi Geri & Sidney!
Thank you for your kind welcome! I read that Sidney is a therapy dog & I think my Corgi Mommy would be good at that, too! Is the training long and complicated? Mommy just has a way of meeting someone and making them feel like they are the most wonderful human being in the world. She is a love muffin and it would be awesome to spread that love around. Sleepy Mommy when she was little.

I'm not sure. Sasha is 2 years old and as of getting her shots yesterday 12.8#. Toby, our poodle schnauzer mix, is 7.5# and is taller than her. I'll post pics as I get them. Sasha is a little camera shy. I think she is mixed because of her size, her markings and she doesn't have those super cute corgi cheeks. There is white on her chest and belly and a streak from her snout up to her forehead. Sasha also has white feet with black spots. There is no white going around her neck as is typical of the corgi pictures I've seen. The lady I got her from didn't know much of anything about her. Yay Craigslist!(not)

Thank you so much for your kind welcome. I'm sorry to be so lax in replying, but I've been ill and haven't much felt like being online of late. I love that Emma has her tail too. I truly believe that they were given tails for a reason and just don't believe in docking those beautiful tails. ~grins~ It adds to their personality too and trust me, she has plenty. It's a pleasure to meet ya'll.

It's quite rare to see corgi around here in Sichuan province in China. I do not know about the other places in Shanghai or Beijing. Poodles, Bishon, golden retriever and Husky are very popular here.
I am really glad that I found this website. I picked up most of the tips here.
Thank you again.

Hi! His name is Benson. He's about 4 years old. We rescued him from North Shore Animal League in North Shore Long Island. He was saved from a puppy mill where he was being used as a stud. He's learning how to be a dog!

Hello Geri & Sidney! :) Thanks for the welcome! Yes, he is named after the Hunger Games character, but he is also named after my first forever dog (who had to be put down back in January of 2010 at the age of 18), a Border Collie mix that was simply amazing and was literally one of my best friends--his name was Petie. Peeta's eyes and expressions remind me a lot of Petie and Peeta was my favorite character from the Hunger Games books, so it seemed fitting (since I didn't want to re-use Petie's actual name). So there you have it--the reason for the name. :)
