I think I'm probably out of luck on the genetic pool with Fergie. Her mother is red/white as is her father and they have never thrown a tri. I'm guessing...if I follow you... that it is most likely that the new puppy will be a red-faced tri. Both parents are red-white, Actually Mom is more Sable, but the red/white male bred to her always throws a tri puppy regardles of who he is bred to. He has thrown both red-faced and black faced.I had my Lizzie (black face-tri) fixed last year. I was going to breed her, but she shattered her pelvis about two years ago. She got out and we assume was hit by a car. Odd thing on our road. At any rate, the vet predicted that she would only be able to deliver c-section and I didn't want to put her through that. She is a sweet girl and I didn't want to take any chances. What did the report say about Sable corgis?

I think I'm losing it. I typed a response to you and seem to have lost it..literally. I think I will be pretty obsessive about who gets a puppy and will probably only do limited registrations fro a while. The breeder we are getting our little guy from has only sold a couple full regisltrations since they started. It think that is smart. I wasn't up on the genetics, that is something I need to do more research on. I have to admit I am actually partial to red/whites, but since my Fergie is a red/white I thought my little man should be a tri. We will see how it all works out. I think I've crossed the line! Our breeder said it is a tough call when they are young. They have one female that I saw as a black faced tri puppy and she has a full red face as an adult. I guess they always keep you guessing.

Ju Lo. The puppy is a boy. I have been visiting with this breeder for months. We stopped by to meet them last spring. They are terrific people. They had three littlers of puppies within two weeks of each other and they knew I was looking for tri-color male. Out of 16 puppies they had one tri and it just happened to be a male. We were given first option. All 16 puppies were beautiful--just beautiful. We went to visit and confirmed that we would take the little guy. I picked out my first Corgi at two weeks. That was my Basil. He was the best dog ever. Right now the puppy has a black face, but a black face can turn completely red, so we really don't know how he will finish yet. But he is so sweet. We are hoping to raise Corgis. Our in-tact female is only seven months old so it will be at least another full year before we will even think about trying and even then it will determine on how the dogs finish out. I just love this breed. Basil stole my heart and I know that I will always have Corgis. Lets be sure to keep in touch. I'm terribly nervous adding a new member to the pack, but I'm just as excited. My daughter tells me I will never be able to part with any puppies, that is a worry!

I told my friend about how today seemed like the longest day EVER, and she said it will be quicker once it gets further from the day I last saw Lucy. Then I told her I have video that I can watch, and she said "maybe you should stay away from that until the weekend". Haha.

Sure, go ahead and post about her. She is a cutie and like a proud mama i'll show her off anywhere i can.

Thanks! I'm already in love. I have been saying "I love lucy" almost non stop for the past day or so. I didn't think that two weeks would be too long to wait since I've already been waiting 8 weeks, but oh my goodness it's only been a couple days! I'm excited though, now that I've put a deposit down and set a pick up date I can go and buy things for her without worrying about if I will get a puppy or not! :)

Greetings Ju Lo, congrats on going Corgi. I will be picking up a puppy about the same time you are, but he will be my fourth! What a great breed! My puppy was born December 22. it would be fun to compare notes as they grow!

No, no, just one puppy. We're getting Lucy! We were deciding between Lucy and Sally, and we decided on Lucy. She's a sweetie pie. Her litter is the peanuts litter, so her siblings are sally, marcie, peanut, peppermint patty, charles, linus, schroeder. They are so ridiculously cute. Lucy was the last one born out of the litter, and she's lucky lucy because they almost had to do a c-section to get her out. We're keeping the name, because I really liked the name lucy anyway. My boyfriend had liked Caleigh better, but I have relatives named Carey and Kelly, which makes Caleigh a little difficult. Plus don't you think she looks like a Lucy?

I'm totally bombarding you with comments. I get to go visit the puppies on Saturday! I will take lots of photos. Hurray!

Ok, I new once I left you a note something would happen. New photos are up! Three cuties. But still no email from the breeder, but I'm glad that everyone's ok. I'm sure she's just busy and wants to set up the evaluations with her corgi friends before she responds. Whew!

Just so you know that you're not the only paranoid one, I'm starting to obsessively check my email and the breeder's website for any sort of response. It's driving me crazy! And now there's that annoying thought in the back of my head saying "oh no, what if she's ignoring me because she doesn't like me anymore?" Augh. In happier news, we got a crate for the dog today. We got a wire one, so I'm going to make a crate cover in the next few days. Anything to keep me busy.

Oh man, it's so hard! I have about 2 more weeks to wait, and my breeder went on vacation the last 2 weeks, so no updates on the puppies. I think she's getting back today, so I'm going to shoot her an email to see if we can go visit them sometime. I hope she updates the website soon! And yes, I have been obsessively checking the website and my email! :)

Ok, that is so nice of the breeder to email you. She must know how excited you are!

Happy Expected Whelping Day! Any news yet?

Ok, he is ADORABLE!!! I'll be waiting for the blog post!

Oh I'd love to see the puppy daddy! Do you have a photo of him? I keep looking at the photo of your puppy mama and she keeps getting cuter. I guess that's what happens with corgis :)

Well let me tell you, my Samoyed (female, spayed) liked to hump peoples legs, so I guess it's no guarantee that if you get a female that there is no humping going on. Do you know if your puppy mama has the tricolor gene? I think i remember you mentioning that you were hoping for a tri-color...

I'd prefer a girl pup, just because that's what I have had in the past. I wouldn't mind a boy pup though, because I plan on getting two dogs eventually! What about you? Girl or boy pup?

I saw the new puppy photos yesterday and was running around because they're so cute. I haven't picked any favorites because the breeder still needs to evaluate for show quality vs pet quality, and I don't want to get too attached before then. I'm guessing she'll do that somewhere around 8 weeks, so I have 6 more weeks of loving every puppy!

Sometimes the internet browsers open up a cached page, I'm glad you were able to see it! Usually refreshing the page will fix that problem. I keep hitting refresh hoping that new photos will show up!! I won't be getting two dogs from the same litter, although I met a couple of her puppies from the last litter a month ago, and they seemed to be fine together. We just discussed the possibility of two dogs. Ideally I would get one puppy, and then a year (or so) later, add another dog, either from rescue or a retired show dog.
