Eddy will be 1 next month

Eddy's 1st b-day is coming up. Lately he has been heavily targeted by aggressive male dogs at the park. It's as if they are magnetized to him, cannot leave him alone endlessly, and finally get frustrated or something? and attack. Eddy is more into "flight" than "fight" - he does not fight back, defend himself, or "get revenge" afterwards. Eddy ends up getting hurt, and whoever the owner is apologizes profusely and doesn't know what's come over their dog, and they leave usually. The… Continue

We Passed!

Lyla took her herding instinct test today and passed with flying colors! It was the first one I'd ever been to and it was very interesting. It was neat to watch the different dogs' reactions to the sheep. Some dogs were more interested in the sheep poo, and others walked in and knew exactly what to do.

Only 4 of the 7 dogs passed, and Lyla passed the 2nd fastest! Yay Ly! The judge wrote on our eval sheet "Good job! She got right to work like she'd being doing this her whole life." It… Continue

6 Weeks Old - Handsomer and handsomer

Baby Jackson is just growing and growing. His mother's milk dried up a little early, so he was weaned a week or two ago. He's already had his first round of shots and will be getting one more before I pick him up from my breeder. He looks so healthy and is developing his personality.

Here are some pictures of him at 6 weeks! I'm so excited to get him home and start working with him.

He lost his raccoon eyes but I'm hoping… Continue

Bad News: Dog Allergies

My boyfriend and I were finalizing preparations to bring a puppy home, when I had a bad allergic reaction. Initially I thought it might be the cats that were living in the house with the puppies, but after seeing an allergist, it turns out I have a dog allergy as well. The allergist recommends I not get a puppy at this time as I could trigger asthma issues. (He can only give us a 50% chance of having a dog at the end of next year too.) Needless to say, I'm heartbroken, and my boyfriend is very… Continue

Adult Corgi Female Located in Fort Collins

About 6 months ago, I rescued a 5 year old female corgi from someone that just kept her in a kennel all the time. I have been working with her and she has made progress but I now have to find her a new home due to daughters allergies. Which we didnt realize til we started bringing Zoie inside because of the cold weather. She will need some time to adjust to a new family and it took her a couple weeks to even start coming up to us once we started to just ignore her. But she plays well with the… Continue

Blizzard attire!

We practiced this last night and I still had to pull/push my Aussie out the door this am. The Corgis went out one time and now they just look at me like I'm crazy!

It could be that any door I open I have to hang onto with both hands so it doesn't blow wide open!

My Dogs and I Totally "Click"

Bear, Goldy and I have begun clicker training. Today was day 1...and thank goodness for smart Corgis!

The downside of having two dogs by yourself - you're supposed to separate them when you train them. Even though both of my dogs are crate trained and go into their crate happily everyday when I say "crate," when I crate one to work with the other - the barking is INSANE.

SO, we're making it our own and doing it together, and so far so good. When one sits, I click and… Continue

Herding Instinct Test

I just signed Lyla up for her herding instinct test! It is Sunday afternoon. I'm so excited! She is such a shy, timid dog a lot of the time, so I'm hoping she enjoys herding and maybe it can be a good confidence booster for her. Wish us luck!

I also finally got around to doing her AKC registration paperwork today since her reg number was required for the test. It's been sitting in my purse for almost 7 months now! Oops! I just haven't had a need for it until now. =)

Wheer's Bear Yet Again!

Well, Bear is really in Tulsa Ok. right now but I was cleaning up some photographs last night and thought that this one would make a really good Where's Bear! So, I fix the red eye cropped it slightly and renamed it so the name would not give it away. Here is a clue: someone is going to look at this photograph and say "I know where Bear is! He is stuck in traffic in in one location and will (some day soon LOL) be in another place by way of the ______… Continue

Corgis playing in the snow

In which a forecasted "coating to an inch" of snow turns into a five-inch storm, the Corgis meet a new friend, and my husband edits together a short one-minute video of the fun....

We never saw this dog before, but she was only 6 months old and was instantly a playmate.

My favorite spot is about 35 seconds in. And all the "good-boying" and "good-girling" in the middle is because they responded to my emergency recall in mid-play! Hence my not… Continue

The itch that just wouldn't go away..until now

I know its been awhile since our last post so I figured I better update and tell you all what's been going on with our little boy. For months now, he had been very itchy and would scratch and bite constantly and it recently got worse. It became so bad that we couldn't even sleep at night because he'd be scratching and moving the bed so much, we'd put him on the floor and could hear him constantly and he'd still keep us up, so we ended up having to put him out in the hall in his cage until… Continue

Puppy Shots

Wynstan got his second round of shots today, and boy is he grumpy about it. He will halfheartedly play with a toy, grunt, then move off to lay down.

I can't believe its only been a week since he has been with me, so far only three accidents. He has been getting better about turning people into giant chew toys and I have already began to train him, It seems like he is already started to recognize his name and will sometimes come running when I call for him.

One ear is… Continue
