My name is Charlotte. Since I was very young, there have always been dogs in my family. I love dogs! Happily married to Chris since 1985, executive assistant in a busy office, born in Paris (France) then lived Ireland, Sweden, France again, and finally ended up in America in 1985.
We had a Pembroke Welsh Corgi who died of Lymphoma in 2003. Niblick, a great and much loved dog. September 2012 we got our new Corgi, a Cardigan, from a breeder in Dahlonega. Bogart. Loves people, kids and other dogs. Could not imagine a better companion.
Thank you, yes she is crate trained already. She came with hers so she didn't even have to get used to a new one. She's doing really well on her potty training, a new home and people that might not quite know her signals yet are an added challenge. But we haven't had any major accidents.
I'm glad I didn't get on anyone's nerves. I have just been reading online about the breed lately and am sometimes horrified at what I hear about training and behavior. Corgi's are amazing animals who with care are a loving, contributing part of a family.
My husband's parents were the first to have an IW, I fell in love with them. They are truly gentle giants. We had our female when our daughter came along and I never saw a more patient, gentle dog with a child. Bex learned to pull herself up by holding on to the dog and Tasha would just stand there and let Bex hold on to her. We lost Tasha at age 10...a very good age for an IW. We got her as an older puppy from a shelter...she was given up because she was getting too big. Really...what did you expect? We got our male Duffy at 10 weeks...I never saw a dog grow so fast! I swear his legs were longer when I got home from work then they were when I left! Sadly we lost him at age 7.
As much as we love the breed our hearts cannot take their short life spans...it's hard enough to lose a beloved critter but when it happens too soon your heart gets rubbed much to raw.
I think that Ozu would be really interested in meeting Bogart. None of his canine pals here are Corgis... His first close companion was a Golden Retriever and for a long time, it seemed that Ozu thought that he was going to grow into a Golden. Then one day, the realization that he wasn't struck and he was very sad for a few weeks.
Frosty is not too sure about the whole puppy thing yet. But he is getting less snarky and more play-with-me. Drake is a little overwhelmed with Frosty's in your face attitude, but I am confident they will be best buds in a couple days :)
They are getting along pretty well. Even though Frosty is almost 5 years old, he still acts like a puppy lol. They play "I Bite You!" about 90% of the time they are together. Frosty does get tired of Drake being a mean sharkface and biting too hard, but he has started putting Drake in his place. It is very obvious that Drake is going to be the alpha dog in the house

Why thank you! I love Bogart's speckles! I wish he was around here too, not many cardis in these parts for play dates. :)

Thank you for the birthday wishes for Bentley. Bogart is a nice looking cardi. My husband and I lost our first Pembroke, Comet in Dec 2012.

Have you seen this yet?
There is a Squishable Cardigan Corgi prototype in the process.
Here is the link to the webpage.

Thank you! Wow I must say, Bogart is a very dapper looking pup. Is it weird I almost wish to see him in a top hat? :D
