Chloe's parent Liz replied to Michael Patrick McCarty's discussion Breeding Advice"Please get her spayed. My BIL has had two male Corgis that were never neutered. One got out when roomate left the front door open and was hit by a car. No doubt Maverick might have been more of a home buddy if he had been fixed.…"
Ludi replied to Michael Patrick McCarty's discussion Breeding Advice"You are a very level-headed person and I think the best route, should you want a little corgi-pal for her in the future, is to ask reputable breeders for a dog whose temperament matches closely to the one you clicked with so well in your own dog.…"
"The best part of my day is watching my corgi get so excited as we get ready to go out and do the farm chores. For her, everyday is a new day, and every chore is a new joy. Her unbounded enthusiasm about it all cannot help but lift the spirits.…"

Emily & Scout replied to Michael Patrick McCarty's discussion Breeding Advice"I agree with the people who say not to breed her. But let me give you my reason why.
My Scout is spayed, so never could be bred anyway, but I still could not do it. She has the best personality, happy all the time, the best dog I could…"
Napolean (Joan and Gabby) replied to Michael Patrick McCarty's discussion Breeding Advice"Noooo. Please don't breed her >.<"
Chloe's parent Liz replied to Michael Patrick McCarty's discussion Breeding Advice"Why do you want to breed her?"
Beth replied to Michael Patrick McCarty's discussion Breeding Advice"By the way, there are quite a few people who will tell you that you should not breed unless your dog is a work or show champion. I don't really believe that as I think it has contributed to a terrible narrowing of the gene pools of many…"
Beth replied to Michael Patrick McCarty's discussion Breeding Advice"Ideally first litter is around 2 or 3, last litter around 5 and definitely no later than 6 years.
If you are breeding, I hope that you:
1) Have had eyes and hips checked, and did testing for relevant genetic diseases. You should also know…"
