Hachiko is Japan's version of Lassie. Something like that... lol
I didn't buy a crate.. i just got a baby fence from my friend (who has dogs but left perth) and i fenced the Laundry room. one part is for her to sleep, and the other part is newspaper.
The first 2 days was hell ! she pooped and peed everywhere (mistake for letting her roam a bit too freely and not watching her every move.) but after that i kept her in the laundry room more, and let her outside more often.
She's pretty good now (even after just under a week) she poops and pees mainly on the newspaper and she does her business whenever she's outside. =)
hey sorry haven't msged back in a while.. haha
yeah i just got my corgi puppy =) her name is hachiko =)
got it from the breeder i was talking about before.
she's about 8 weeks.. very quiet but still playful.
sleeps a lot too.. lol
do u have any tips on toilet training and things like that?
Sounds like Truffle just doesnt wish to tolerate his advances and he is bold enough not to give up. Sounds like he is a bit of a dominant fellow to engage in such a way with an adult female. Perhaps Truffle does not get her point across as well as some other dogs do. Sounds like they start off with play, Bailey crosses the line, Truffle tries to admonish him then he retaliates in a serious manner. May well be a personality conflict. It may be that you need to manage the interaction more closely and learn to see when the play turns in to fighting. I think more exercise would help Bailey as well as controlled play time. This would be things such as playing ball and adding some obedience to the play. Teach him to drop the ball at your feet. Make him sit or down prior to throwing the ball again. Give him some sort of command before you do anything for him....such as sit/down/shake or whatever he knows. Teach him so new commands. Earning more control/respect as well as expending the energies may also help you manage his interactions with Truffle. Good luck!
First I would ask if Bailey is yet neutered? At this age he is really spreading his wings and will push the limit for a time. Knowing whether they are playing for fighting would be helpful. From your description it sounds as if it starts out as play and then crosses the line into a battle. When people express an interest to get a companion for their current dog I always explain that most dogs are happy being only dogs and that they should only consider another if THEY want one. With a baby coming soon I suspect you have not really had the time to provide the appropriate exercise nor taken a training class. I think both would be very helpful to you. With a baby on the way I would start very soon. It will be difficult to be a new mom and have to constantly monitor fighting with dogs.

Marty is 6 and Chipper (female) is 8. Chip definitely is the alpha dog. Marty acts like the Sheriff is in town, but Chipper rules. We call her the Queen. :)

I just had to tell you; after our conversation here today, we took Sidney to drop-in obedience class. A nice lady came up to us and said "seeing your cardi sure makes me miss the one I used to have". My daughter and I shared a knowing look and then she told the lady "actually, he's an undocked Pembroke". The lady...a former corgi owner...said "I didn't know they docked their tails!" So Sidney continues his work at educating the public, LOL!

You are so nice! Here, many people think corgis are born without tails, so they see his tail and wonder what he is mixed with! We explain to them how corgis are usually born with tails. Sid is a great educator.
I love seeing that tail furiously wagging when we come home, and when we pet him it's fun to just stroke that long fluffy tail :-)

Hello again! Thank you for telling Sidney he is handsome; he likes to hear it! He does get a lot of attention for that tail. Many people don't realize that he IS pure corgi!
I did not make the cake, but we have a fancy dog store here that makes them. However, now I have a doggie treat cookbook, so I'll make his next year!
Thanks for a nice comment! Truffle and Bailey are so adorable! I love the pictures!

Hello from sunny San Diego!
Your dogs are so beautiful!
I really enjoy seeing Pems with tails. Our Sidney is a rare American Pem with a tail and I just love it. Congratulations on your two wonderful happy corgis.

They are adorable Corgis....looks like they have a lot of fun together. :)
I love your Corgi pics! The sideview shot of your black tri is fabulous-what a comical look in your pup's eye. Thanks for sharing your wonderful dogs with us and for being a Corgi friend. I'm off to prepare the house for our newest fluffy pup arrival. He was just living in a hot lil dog shelter in the middle of the desert on the other side of the country and now he's on a plane about to land two hours from now to live a great life in the country with the rest of my crew. :) I've got lots to do to finish preparing so I've gotta run. Take care. Karen
Your dogs are gorgeous. I am so in love with my puppy and am considering getting a second one. I can't wait for him to be complete with his vaccinations so I can take him to the beach!
