Hello,Gendry is at the emergency vet being tested for a liver shunt. I've been reading up on it, but I wanted to reach out and see if other corgi owners have had this problem. It is mostly passed…Continue

Hello,Gendry is almost 6 months and about 12lbs. I was wondering if this is similar to other cardigans and how big I could estimate he will be at 2 years. Thanks!Continue

I just went to my first puppy class with Gendry. It was mostly sitting and listening other than the 10 min of free play. I quickly came to notice the other 5-7 puppies were quietly resting/sleeping…Continue

Actually I only have two right now and that's my limit. We are even saying that when we are down to one we will stick to one (but puppies are really tempting so I don't know for sure if we can do it). Right now I walk each dog separately because together they are like a sled team and my shoulder and neck have been suffering. It's hard to find the time for both of them when I can't walk them together. It's more expensive (vet, food, boarding, etc etc etc). There is more hair. But it is fun watching them wrestle together and seeing their different personalities. And walking one corgi gets you a lot of attention but walking two corgis is like being out with celebrities. LOL
How old is he now (5-18-13)?
Have you named him yet? He sure is adorable!
Hi Jee, With regard to fluffy coats, the good news is that they don't shed as badly as their short haired counterparts. I had one regular Cardi and she shed all the time with 2 bad periods a year (spring and fall) and my mixed breed which I think is part pem sheds all of the time as well. If you pet her, you end up with a hand full of fur. Now, in the spring, you will new to brush him well and will ned a good rake. Their undercoat does gradually loosen and you do need to keep working on it. Actually, someone on this site indicated that a device called a "Tangle Teezer" was good to start them will. It doesn't go very deep but doesn't pull the hair. It is good to use on a baby to get them used to working on their hair. Because Randy is a fluff, I provide treats and have found that the non-sugared cherrio type cereal are good treats. Randy has to be bribed in order to groom him. I actually use a human hair brush with those little plastic dots on the ends for preliminary brushing and then move on to the rake. I suspect that that won't be a problem for you until next year but do look for a Tangle Teezer and use it to get him used to brushing. I live in the south and it gets hot. Both of my 2 fluffs have been temperature sensitive and I have ended up clipping them in the summer. When I got my previous fluff, she would fall down and start gasping and I would run her to the vet clinic to see what was wrong and they would tell me that her heart and lungs were fine. I finally figured out that she would get hot playing and flop down and just huff and puff. I had hoped that Randy wouldn't have that problem but he has it also. I will probably end up clipping him during the next month or last. If you remember the winter before last was mild and then we had 90+ temps. in March and I ended up clipping him in March. Here we are at April and fortunately I don't need to do it yet. The first time takes a lot of time and I have learned a lot over the years. I leave his hair at about 1/8th inch and it grows rapidly. The funny thing is that what ever is cut the shortest grows the fastest, so if I screw up, it evens out. I do this because I want him to go out and have a good time. But to tell you the truth, clipping does prevent the worst of the brushing and digging out the undercoat. Your baby is such a beautiful little fellow. Randy is an alpha male and that has caused some problems because he tried to dominate but we have worked on that and it isn't too bad. Good luck with your sweet baby. If you ever get him clipped, tell them not to clip to the skin, I have heart tails about poor babies being clipped to the skin.
He is a beautiful little fellow. Is he going to be a fluffy? I have had 2 and don't mind.
