Thanks Geri - Sidney is gorgeous too and i also love your old boy Bruce, cant forget the corgi friends!  Nice to see a Pemby with a tail, Australia has supposedly banned the docking now but most breeders still do, Sidney is big for a Pembroke, it will be harder to determine soon the difference in the two breeds but that doesnt matter as they really seem to have the same traits and temperaments.

Hi!  Thanks for the welcome! 

Jake started out looking like quite the corgi but as he's grown up his body doesn't seem 'correct'.  He's a great dog, don't get me wrong, not a mean bone in his body. Most of his actions are 'corgi'.  But he's too tall and lanky and doesn't run like a corgi.  He's missing the 'corgi trot', etc.  He doesn't herd either (which is very strong in Art).  BUT he does have the 'little bark' and that 'always ready' approach.  His coat is pretty coarse down the middle of his back that've I've never seen before.

But still we love him dearly for what he is - a truly great dog.

Geri & Sidney,

I'm not sure exacttly what type of joint problem she has, on the x-rays it looked like a large flat spot on her right shoulder. She also has a bone chip in each front elbow. One day (in mid November) she just started limping for no reason and now seems to be going down hill fast. She's starting to limp on her back right side now even though she is taking medicine. We don't know what to do. She is only 5 and is on daily metacam. We are taking her back to the vet on Thursday to have a further exam and discussion about options. It is heartbreaking to see her not leave her bed and her fur is falling out. She is no longer herding our daughter and cats. I'm glad to hear Sidney is doing so well it gives us hope that something can be done to help Sofe. Any advise or information would be greatly appreciated, we have little experience with these issues because Sofe is our first dog.
