Orion's ACL repair surgery was done yesterday afternoon after tearing it on sunday. He seems to be doing well, except perhaps a little jealous watching the free-roaming Laika and cat from his kennel :(



 I was a terrible mom and thought that he was sedated enough not to need the e-collar last night but he pulled his stitches so I brought him in this morning and put a…

Hi all,

My year old Corgi Bosco is a really agressive chewer.  I buy a toy or rope for him and he has it shredded by the day's end.  I gave him a tennis ball and he had the fuzz pulled off and the ball in half in an hour.  Thankfully he doesn't eat any of it...he just loves chewing.  I buy the harder Nylabones and he has a ball chewing them to pointy spears all the time, but wondered if any of you experienced owners with chewers have any recommedation for some fun toys that can stand…

I just joined, and wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself. I'm Allie, and my husband, 3 yr old son, and myself just got our very first corg-monster. She's a sable (but mostly red) Pem, and she is 12 weeks. We've had her now for about 4 weeks, and while she is a little firecracker (and frankly a teeny bit bossy) we love her, and I'm already planning out…

Talked to the breeder today. Jack's flying out here tomorrow night! By this time tomorrow, he should already be here! :] I'm so excited!!! We had a slight hiccup earlier since Jack went to the vet, and the vet found out he developed hematoma at his incision site, but he should be fine with some antibiotics. Which I will now have to learn to feed to him. Haha.

Today I went pet supply shopping. Spent a good... almost $200. And that's without all the crate stuff, and the x-pen!…

We are now counting down the days! We get the boys a week from tomorrow (May 4th). We can hardly wait. Taffy's ears are firmly up, but Huey's ears are being lazy . LOL  We are so anxious to get them home.…

Help! I have an incredibly wonderful but STUBBORN corgi. She is almost a year and a half and I still cannot train her to walk properly on a leash.

She pulls constantly, barks and does not listen to us. It ruins the walking experience for everyone involved.

We've tried leashes, harnesses, muzzle-harnesses, and choke collars (NOT with spikes!). We will hold her close to us, tell her bad dog when she pulls, try to reward her when she doesn't pull (which is close to…

vote for corgis!

we can't let the shiba inus win!

Yoshi wants a corgi squishable to sleep with at night! =)

I'm getting sooo excited! Only three more days until I can bring Nadia home with me!

My boyfriend and I are driving there (it's 5 hours away) Saturday morning, then we're staying the night at a hotel and driving back with Nadia Sunday night. The breeder is at the Cargigan Nationals this week, so she won't be home until Sunday evening. I just couldn't wait another week, though!

I'm nervous and anxious too, though! I'm all worried that I'll mess something up, do…

When I was teaching Waffle to Wafflecopter (spin), I wanted him to spin 2 times in a row, not just one.  So, I would tell him to Wafflecopter, and he'd spin once, then I'd say "Do it again!!!" really excitedly while making the hand motion, and he'd do it. Well, with this, he learned pretty quickly to do Wafflecopter with 2 spins instead of one.  

Now I'm trying to teach him to bow.  I can't quite figure out a way to make him bow, so it's a very slow process trying to capture…

Gromit’s Great-Aunt Mistletoe, litter mate to my first Corgi pals Watson & Tinsel,  is finally gone at age 13.  Degenerative Myelopothy (DM)  won as it always…

My sweet Corgi Lucy has a white ring around her neck and breast.  When we put her city dog tag on her it turns her neck gray.  It drives me crazy because it makes her look dirty even after a bath.  I take her to the dog park a lot and she has to have this tag on for proof of shotsAny suggestion on what I might be able to do to stop this from happening.

Here it is!  Been planning on doing this for a long time.

It's a double-layer, hand-tooled martingale collar.  The inside of it is suede-lined for his comfort.  I LOVE how it turned out!  I'll be testing it for the next few…

First off, I want to thank everyone for their support and advice, it really helped to know that everyone went through the same thing. this is another long one but i hope you read it because i could still use some support! Ravioli did better yesterday after my first post and he seems like he's opening up to us a little bit. he seems to be eating normally now whenever i give him food and isn't as mopey--he seems to explore more when we're just sitting on the couch instead of laying around like…

I recieved a phone call from my dear friend Lynne over the weekend. She told me that she had taken in a foster dog and was wondering if I could come spend some time with her. I was instantly excited! She told me she was some kind of mixed breed, maybe heeler, husky, with some corgi in her. She said that some man had brought her to the Lane County Animal Shelter because she…

let me first preface this by saying that this post will be long, but i ask that you please read because i really need some support from the community. please!!!

Ravioli came home saturday evening, and he seemed pretty ok with us (my boyfriend and i). we brought him back to the apartment and he explored a lot. the breeder said he hadn't used the bathroom all day (which was from before 9am to 630pm when we got him). we took him out a couple times that night and he still never went to…

Being part of this site has only been a very short part of my dog-wanting life, but I'm very, very happy to report that a payment has been made, and contracts reviewed... Finally, after almost 20 years of waiting... I'm getting a puppy. :]

Everyone, meet "Jack"!

(Totally grabbed this photo from the breeder's fb. Haha. Hope she doesn't…

Just posted a video of Napolean's tricks. If anyone needs any ideas (Ive been seeing some people are stumped on what to teach their corgis) here are some ideas!

I'm not vet-groomer-specialist-anything.  But we did have a shaving experience with the groomer.  I said 'trim her up for summer' and I came back to find Loo cut down to her undercoat.  Freaked me out.  I must have a smart groomer because she said that cutting them down to the undercoat would allow the hair to grow back healthy.  Taking it down all the way and it would not grow back as well.  

My husband and I have had many discussions about shaving.  We asked the vet-the vet said it…

Here's some signs I made for my wife, Gail.  The center one is a caricature of Ashton!

A gift for me that is!  I want one of these pillows from Red Envelope for Mother's Day but I don't know what to put on the second line.

I want the red pillow for a place of prominence on a black leather chair in our living room. The first line will say "TWINKIE".  And I think the second line should say something about how…
