I was feeling discouraged. Hunting for the healthy Pembroke puppy with a tail is a tiring task. I was talking to my sister about just rescuing, I already have guilt for going with a breeder. Maybe my first dog is not supposed to be the dream dog. Maybe I am supposed to adopt some LA puppy. And maybe I am.

But then I ran into a corgi.

It's name was bubbles. Bubbles balanced treats on his head, he high fived with both stubs, he put his head in my lap when I petted…

Our breeder Carrie Hale (Haley PWC) offered to kennel Al & Gwynn for 5 days, and there's nobody better.  She's a font of information and advice about all things corgi, generous with her time.

We got to meet Dante, Gwynnie's sire, Al's gradsire, and Autumn Rain, and Twyla.  Superb friendly beautiful adorable dogs.  I could've cuddled corgis all night.

We learned that Al is a bit underweight, so his rations get increased,  Most important, she said he's favoring his left rear…

thanks to a wonderful member here at mycorgi, i got a lead on a breeder in tennessee (6 hours away) who is selling red and white pems for $350-400 (much cheaper than the $1500 i was told yesterday from another breeder!) it was apparently an ad in the newspaper, so there's not much info that i know except that both parents are akc registered and so are the pups. i'm going to call today and get more info and hopefully this will be the one! the ad says the puppies will be ready in april. the…

and it was the scariest thing ever! it only lasted about a minute because she said she was in a meeting and would call back. i was so nervous! i'm anxiously awaiting her call back. does anyone have any advice on how to make a good first impression to a breeder over the phone? what are the right things to say? what do they like to hear in a first conversation? i have my list of important questions i would like to ask her, but i obviously can't start off by bombarding her with…

out of the 13 breeders (maybe 12..i've lost count!) i've emailed, i finally got a response! ironically, i emailed her yesterday and she emailed me back same day! i was quite shocked since it's been 3 weeks since i sent all of the others and haven't heard a thing. has anyone ever had any experience with Canuck Corgis?

I have been looking into adoption thru a rescue org for months.



I currently live in North East NJ by the

Geo Washington Bridge to NYC. I have been looking for a small dog--"under 30 lbs"



My town has turned into Shih Tzu-ville!! Never mind the Poodles, Lhasa's, Maltese's and Yorkies.

I want something different. And have always liked Corgi's. Love the Tri Color and absolutely adore Fluffy's!!!

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico! ... Okay, not really. My parents pay for my car insurance and we already have Geico. BUT~



That breeder that I was looking into? Amazing. She's a small breeder-- been showing/breeding Corgis for 18 years and only has had 6 litters. 5 champion dogs! Tests for vWD, eyes, hips, and even heart condition. I was simultaneously glad to hear she doesn't overbreed but also very disappointed because I figured I wouldn't be… Continue

SOOOO... It's late. Like, 3 AM late, and I need to go to sleep but I must share this exciting news first.

I was checking out PWCCA and their list of breeders registered on the site. I found this kennel, registered with the PWCCA in 2009, located in Virginia Beach-- my home town! Where I live! Where Waffle will live the first couple of months of his life! So, that's awesome. t's called "Corizma" owned by a Mike and Terry New. I sent them an email because I am a little phone shy (and it is 3… Continue

Ein turned 7 weeks old yesterday, and our breeder sent us some photos today. Every week, she gets more and more adorable. Her ears are standing up now, and she's starting to turn a lovely orange color. We still have 16 days until she comes to live with us, and I don't know if I can wait that long!

I just spoke with the breeder and.....
SHE SAID SHE HAD AT LEAST THREE PUPPIES COMING!!!!
Oh my gosh i don't think I've ever been so excited before....
cant wait till fall now...
