There are 2 things I try to let the corgi world know. Heartgard and anything with Ivermectin in it can be deadly for corgis (along with the other herding breeds). A lot of vets don't know yet. It causes aggression and fear. Some Corgis have lost homes due to this aggression. Off of Ivermection the corgi goes back to normal in time.
Also Most vets don't know dwarf breeds have different hips. Corgis over do it. If nothing is torn I give medical and kennel them so they don't run around. My vet specializes in corgis now. He was the first vet to specialize Penn-hip X-rays. Very different from OFA. I tell my puppy people that if your corgi is sick go to your vet. If they are hurt go to mine. Corgi hips can be misdiagnoised as bad hips. One of my puppies (as an adult) was 45 lbs. jumped off the bed and blew a knee. The vet swore her hips were bad. After going in to repair the hip he noticed the hip was fine. Then moved to the next leg and fixed the knee. Your case may be different. But I have had many come back from vets saying this. After tests they were fine. Just had corgi hips. I had one vet come back to say one of my offspring had a genetic problem. It was called dwarfism. Always get a second opinion.
Glad to be part of this happy group.

Hi Geri, I show Corgis. Then I have some retired and rescue dogs. I could use some prayers for Darby. She is a Ch. going on 7 years in November. She came up with an illness where her stomach and intestines were inflamed. After exploratory surgery, Both GI test, X-rays, lap work and scoping. We can't find anything wrong. She won't eat. She gets hypoglycemic. She is getting thinner and thinner. But her eyes are so bright. She is still ready to go after a ball. WE just put a ton of balls around her so she doesn't have to travel far.
Thanks Rosie was a great dog and friend - we miss her alot.
Lily did really well on her trip from Minnesota . She arrived in very good shape - tired but pretty calm. She has settled in and we're working on potty training -- still a way to go on that. Saturday she has her final series of shots and we're going to take her to a puppy pre-school class - she'll get to meet some new friends. Should be fun.
Thank you for the welcome. I am glad I am finally getting a Corgi after many years. I plan on getting 2 Corgis or getting a Munchkin Cat to play with Nishi.
Hi Geri & Sidney! Thanks for the welcome! We're picking up Fix (most likely his name, the diminutive of Felix, named for a favorite literary character of mine!) this Saturday! I'm absolutely thrilled. He's a fierce little grumpalump so far and I think he'll fit in well -- my breeder has been sending me regular photo and video updates!
Hello Geri & Sidney! We just came back from the SoCal Corgi Nation meetup in Huntington Beach (over 215+ corgis!!!) and it was a blast! We are excited for the next SD Corgi Meetup. SD is my hometown!
Hi! My boy's name is Cuco Pepe. He's doing well and he loves to play with Aleli, who's my other baby girl - a Yorkie-.
I'll try to post a photo soon.
Regards,
Airam

hello Geri and Sidney, I hope all is well, look at your adorable photos!
I have a question about therapy: I am interested in it for Dusty, she is so full of love, but was there an issue regarding feeding your dog a raw diet? That is what I have heard here (in ontario ad quebec) if your dog is on raw, they cannot become a certified therapy dog! That is such a pity and so paranoid...what was the training like?

The Corgi's names are Gilly and Hodor! :) Sorry, I just saw your comment!

They had fancy names when we adopted them, but we changed them to Millie and Pearl.
Thank you for the welcome!
Yes indeed he is named after Lt Commander Riker
He just had that look and nature about him, lol
