I know, anything but boring!

haha! lucy deMille and wendy goldwyn. having fun. added music to 2 videos and i'm calling it a night; though I may try to upload the photos i scanned of lucy's predecessors. first i'll have to check the quality. fingers crossed.

Foxy is the only Corgi in our family. The other corgis you see are Foxy's friends.

Hi Gromit! Your pictures are awesome. We LOVE the Wallace & Grommit movies.

Glad the most popular fella's feeling better this morning. Your photo yesterday stole every member's heart. He really knows how to yank our heartstrings!

@Doug and Gromit- so true. I also hope that someday our government recognizes that people should have the same rights as dogs––to be put to rest, by their loved ones, when that time comes.

Tim doesn't have a website. He's old school. So the only Nebriowa Corgis you'll likely see is via me or if your google "Nebriowa." In case you're wondering about the name, as I was, and forever mispronouncing it, it's a combination of Nebraska and Iowa. Who'd a thunk it?!

hahaha. i am literally LMAO at about a switch-hitting champ. think of the possibilities this could open to breeders. can't believe you wrote back after my inundating you with pedigree stuff. esp. weird bec. we don't show our corgis, but oh how we love our show quality pups. so, i freely admit that whenever possible we try to get a rescue, but i'll be damned if i'm going to feel guilty every time i buy a corgi from a breeder. ok, i'm damned bec. i do feel guilty. but sometimes only a puppy will do. there, i said it!

LOL. double oops! Tommy was bred to Llanfair Night Owl's granddaughter, Royal Mark Sandyshire Joyful. I guess the Mark in the name confused me, which is not an unusual state of mind for me. I really am spatially challenged and easily thrown. We can get into the outlaws and scoundrels in my family tree later. I can't believe how much time I've spent on these Corgi trees. Of course it takes me much longer than most to navigate them. Tim had a litter filled with designers, like Cole Haan, and actors, G. Clooney, G. Garbo. But I do like keeping track of Lucy's sibling in case they have puppies some day. I doubt that Tim will do the same breeding that got us Lucy.

You'll see that Jean had a puppy in the 6 mo class and Tim had 2 in the 9 mo. class. Of the two, one is Lucy's litter mate, the other is a half brother. Their dad was a busy guy. They were born 3 days apart. Too bad that feisty judge wasn't doing this event. it's be fun to read her comments on them.

Haha. Seems like Lucy's father has been enjoying his retirement as well!

I still love Charles and his big mouth. Though, I'm sure that Elin Woods is not. We're big Laker and Duke fans.

whoopsie. Sandyshire's the Phantom was bread to Llanfair Night Owl's grandson. complicated, isn't it. and so silly that I have more interest in corgi pedigrees than my own. i have zero interest in my family tree. no doubt it's filled with outlaws.

We used to pretend that Dylan and Emily were named for poets, but the reality is that our kids named them after two of the cast of Beverly Hills 90210. My neighbor had the first Corgi I ever saw and I couldn't believe he was not a mixed breed. My dog at that time was a rescue. My grandmother literally rescued him from a discarded couch in a street in Brooklyn and she brought him home to us. He looked more like a pedigreed dog than that Corgi. I originally thought the name of the breed was Welsh Gorky, which I felt was apt as my neighbor's was saw gawky. I fell in love with that gawky dog & decided when I got a Corgi I'd name him Gorki. Gorki was a rescue, too, but his owner named him Corky, so it was an easy switch to Gorki or The Gork. He was a character.

Blandie and Maitland Ijams loved to name their litters in themes, as do many other breeders. Dylan and Emily's father was CH Patek Phillipe and all the litter had watch in their names. Emily was Roughouse Watch Over Me and Dylan was Roughouse Watch Out for Me. Notice the champions end with us! We don't show.

Ch Martindale Butter Brickle is also a top Corgi. Lots of Belroyd's in the pedigree. Lucy's mom is Ch Pemcorder Belroyd Zodiac. How do they come up with these names? There's also Roughouse Hume Cronyn here, who's from Dylan and Emily's breeder and in their pedigree. Does this make up cousins?

"View thread" has definitely made navigating this site easier. Thanks, Doug! BTW, we MacUsers don't even have a right click option! I could never be a judge or breeder. I have a rough enough time when a basketball owner retires one of my favorite players. I would never be able to let go of anyone. I'm a big college and NBA fan. I also love football but we no longer have a pro team in LA. OK, enuf with the non-corgi gab. I was thrown from a motorcycle on my way to college and it definitely changed my feelings about motorcycles.

Hi Gromit and Doug
I have had a corgi for many years as a pet for our children as they were growing up. They are great inside for companionship as well as outside. One was put down at 13 yrs. as he developed stomach cancer, and the 2nd one at about 12 yr. developed diabetes and I gave him insulin shots for about a yr. and finally he lost his sight and did not enjoy life anymore, but in the long run the corgi is my favorite and best breed out there.
Now have 3 and just love them so much, I would probably have even more.

Lots of relatives on this pedigree! Plus Gromit has some of the Corgi royalty on this pedigree, just beginning with Am.Can. Ch. Llanfair Night Owl ROMX. I know pedigree can be a bit annoying, especially when our pet's pedigree is far better than our own; but it is a way to keep track of family.
I have never bred or shown a Corgi, and never will. But, I feel pedigree is important to the breed.

How lucky are we to have a Jean, Tim, Judy, et. al. in our lives? I read a lot of judges reviews because I was looking at pedigrees in case we want to get a second Corgi as similar as possible to Lucy because she has stolen our hearts. Since Lucy is neutered, I looked for a sibling. I did find siblings and it took up at least a day. I think Jack and I just wan to clone Lucy. The judge's critique took me off-guard, just like every Corgi does when you're not looking. I had never read any critique quite as specific and honest as hers. She cut to the bone and I loved every word! I can't keep straight any of the pedigree stuff either. I actually started to cut and paste things from pedigrees that I thought I might want (when and if we want another Corgi puppy). I couldn't even keep track of Lucy's litter mates. Her breeder happened to have 3 litters within a week of each other. This is something that Tim never experienced before. Every bitch took, and Pemcorder Belroyd whatever was a busy little stud; father to 2 of the 3 litters. That discussion re. how Corgis used to look was a big headache. I'm glad it's over. This has been, without a doubt, the kindest site for lovers of a breed to contact each other and speak without judgment. Kudos to Sam T and his wife (who actually started the site) for creating such a lovely place to converse.
