We are a dog-loving and happy couple, living in Los Angeles/Hollywood...my Iranian-born girlfriend, Newsha, is a fashion student and wardrobe stylist and I was originally born and raised on the east coast (Brooklyn, NY and New Jersey) but now we live together in SoCal and I work as a freelance producer for commercials/TV as well as a music Composer for Film & Web.
We have just adopted our first puppy from a sheltered adult female corgi-mutt-mix who had a litter while she was homeless. Her name is Molly and she's the cutest thing that walks on four legs on this planet. At least we think she is. =) Molly is currently 13 weeks old at the time of writing this "About" section (5/29/10), and she has a playful and fun temperament.
The primary reason we are signing up ourselves and Molly for this online community at mycorgi.com is so that we can learn as much as we possibly can about the breed and read posts from all you knowledgeable breeders/trainers/etc with much more experience than we currently have so that we can understand what other Corgi owners believe to be the best ways to approach obedience training, disciplining, how to praise good behavior and punish bad behavior properly, all that important stuff!
However, I must say again that our dog was an adopted/near-rescue puppy and not purchased from a breeder, therefore we have little to no idea what she is actually a MIX of -- We have been told she's a Corgi/Lab, then a Corgi/Sheltie, then something else mixed with Corgi that still didn't make much sense. Our big goal at the moment is to post some photos of Molly, have you fine people look them over, and give us some educated feedback/guesses on what the most likely latter 50% of her mixed breed actually is! I don't believe she's got ANY Labrador in her because her paws are too small and her snout is shaped differently than you'd see on a lab...anyway I hope someone can help us get a better idea of what mix of breeds she probably is. Thanks everyone!
Welcome Newsha, Ritchie and Molly! You have come to the right place. You will learn so much here! If you have specific questions, and when you have photos, make sure you make a blog or a discussion so plenty of people will see it :)
