Hi all,

The pups are 5 weeks old now and nearly ready to go to their forever homes and I'm hoping that all you Corgi lovers out there can help me. For my own penance I will tell you what I had been thinking... and why I now need some help from all of you.

I had planned on having them go to a local breeder who has avenues to pet shops in the Denver area (I'm in SW Nebraska) - this based on the recommendation of my local veterinarian (which is why my thoughts even went down this…

Does anyone in this community have any experience or advice about making home made dog food... you know with meat/rice and supplements.  I'd love to be able to make something like that for the puppies now that they've got little teeth (and I fear mom is having a harder time keeping up with their voracious appetites).

I saw one recipe that used ground beef, white rice, and whole eggs (shell included for calcium) and vitamin supplements.  I'd be more interested ones that included some…

Since I'm completely new to all of this, can someone please tell me if the ears on a corgi stand up naturally? I'm wondering if my pups' ears will eventually stand up.  I ask because I noticed a corgi cross with the ears "done" and since mine are 3/4 corgi, I'm hoping their ears stand on their own.

(we are now at the puppy teething stage, sharp little buggers :) )

Thanks,

So the puppies are 3 weeks old today and for the last 3 days or so I've been giving them ebsilac on plates.  They are able to lap now but I'm concerned that they aren't getting enough milk from mom and am thinking it's time to move to puppy mush.

Does anyone have experience at this? (I'm much better with kittens and homemade "glop") I've read such a variety of things from baby food (such as rice or oatmeal dry mixes) with esbilac to soggy/mushy puppy chow and water.  I don't know if…
