About Me:
Hi, I'm a owner of a Pembroke Corgi, named Potus. Myself- well I'm a uni student. Po, as he's known, is my first dog, and thus first Corgi, but we do have a history with Corgis- my great grandfather had one too!
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No
About My Corgi(s):
I have one male Pembroke Corgi, named Potus (it stands for President of the United States- a long story). He is gorgeous and energetic but a bit mischievous- he is a bit of a Houdini at times, and is a bit naughty- he still hasn't got over the love of biting, despite many attempts to train him out of the behaviour.
I have:
Pembroke

    Thank you so much for the information about Potus and sedation.  He sounds just like Jack.  I have heard anecdotally that Corgis are so bad about being confined because a Corgi who didn't freak out about being crowded would have been a squished Corgi back in the days when they herded cattle.  It makes as much sense as anything and I know a lot of vets have had bad experiences with Corgis.   It's the only thing in the world Jack is bad about.  Funny thing is when he feels free to leave, he's ok with big crowds and kids poking him and a room full of wheelchairs.  But the second he feels trapped he freaks out.  Poor guy.  Thanks again, your information was very helpful and if Jack ever needs a more thorough going over I'll definitely ask if he can be sedated.  Only problem is they said it can be hard to get a blood draw when they are sedated because their blood pressure drops quite a lot.

    Yes, Jack would have Australian relatives!  His sire is Dundee, CH Anwyl Winds O' Change.  Anwyl is an Australian kennel, but Dundee came to the US on a breeder exchange from Finland.   Dundee's pedigree is mostly Belroyd, which is an English kennel.  Here is Dundee's pedigree.  Do you see any common ancestors with Potus?

    Oh, that's so cute! So Jack's grandmother on his sire's side is the sister of Potus's grandfather, also on the father's side. When we all win the lottery and have the great big Corgi Family Reunion, we can get together the cousins and they can both have a good grumble about how much they hate the vet!
