Oh, I forgot to mention - for the first couple weeks I was getting up with her 3x a night until she was able to hold it for a longer amount of time during the night. Check my blog for more info on that stuff :)
I'm sorry we didn't get back to you sooner! We haven't checked out the community much with such a busy month, and I hope that our advice is still helpful!
We've had Taro for almost two months now, and he is fantastic. His father is
Banjo and his mother is Coppertone. He is extremely smart and has
learned many commands in one or two sittings. He also has a very good
temperament so far, no signs of aggression or dominance. We are
extremely happy with the puppy we have received and I feel that we have a
healthy puppy with a great temperament as Royal Hearts has promised.
The only problem we've had with him is a mild skin rash in his ears and
below his eyes, and the vet said it could be allergies to something in
our house or a skin disease (we hope its not the later). So far, his
rashes have occurred less frequently and is almost completely gone, so
we're hoping it's not a skin disease.
As for Linda, she is definitely a professional with many years of breeding experience with corgis and other breeds. She was
easy to communicate through emails and responded quickly when we were
still searching for a puppy. The puppies and their mother live inside
her house. All of the adult corgis I saw were well mannered, and looked
healthy. The living space looked clean for the most part. The only
problems I detected was that she free feeds the puppies. Personally, we
prefer to monitor how much our dogs eat so that's really a matter of
preference. Secondly, our Taro had some old feces stuck to his fur when
we picked him up, so that made me think that the living condition might
not be as clean as I initially thought when we first visited the place.
Overall, we've had a good experience and can't imagine life without Taro. We would consider getting another puppy from
there again, but I would also research other breeders to compare with
our previous experience.
