Thanks a bunch! Do you know if there is any website or place online that has anything to do with her and her dogs? I couldn't seem to find anything other than an article when I googled her name..
How old is Gemma in your profile picture? Short of the perfectly pricked ears, thats what my puppy looks like. Im just trying to gauge when she'll look more like a corgi and less like a long border collie.
Its just part of Padre Island, near Corpus Christi, TX. I've always liked Gemma and thought I couldn't figure out why you had a black headed tri puppy, and a red headed tri adult corgi with the same name! =P
We just did the laparoscopic spay procedure, two tiny (less than 1cm) holes mid belly in a vast expanse of shaved puppy tummy and only ovaries removed. Gemma was up and trying to get home mid-afternoon and right as rain the next day on her antiinflammatory and pain meds - trying to keep her from full-out exertion has been tough! She did want snuggly tlc the first night but I'm not sure it wasn't from the trauma of being shaved and cone-collared at the clinic. Corgis were NOT built to wear the head cone made for their neck size, every other step she caught the collar on something on the floor :(
Sorry it has taken me a while to respond. We ended up just doing a standard spay procedure. Cost was a factor, I'll admit. The clinic we had been going to was going to charge about $400 for the spay, which I thought was too much. A friend recommended another clinic where she was spayed for $120. The first two days she seemed lethargic and a little sore, but she was sent home with pain meds and recovered with lots of TLC. After just a few days she bound back quickly. Her incision was only a couple of inches long, so it was not a very large wound. I just kept my eye on it. It never seemed inflamed or anything and while she did lick it at first, I would get her up to snuggle with me so she wouldn't lick at it. If she had been licking more, we probably would have used an E-collar. I was a nervous wreck the day she went in to get spayed, but she was a trooper and it turned out just fine.
Hi Joanna, I saw you were interested in tracking and I just started a tracking group on this site. I hope you'll join!

Gemma is so beautiful! I am amazed at how well behaved she is! I don't have a corgi yet but I'm planning on getting one. Any special way you trained her? I would love my corgi to be like her!
I watched some of your videos- how cute! Gemma is such a good looking corgi? How far did you go to get her? Also I was wondering if you know of any good training classes I could take Buster to, we are planning on going this summer. Buster also has a love of shredding cardboard boxes, paper towels, or actually any paper.
Thanks for the post. I'm looking into breeders in the southeast but I'm not sure what all to ask them. Is there anything besides socialization, temperament, and health issues that I should ask about?
