Don't tell Al or Gwynn I said so! They overheard me say, "...I'd love to have a Cardigan..."
I quickly had to add, "...I really Do need a new sweater!"

I'd say something about that long luxurious otter tail, but if Al & Gwynn got wind of it, they might chew on my boots or something. I think they sometimes log on here when I'm not around.

At 10:16am on August 28, 2009, Missy D said…: Hi Chris,
Corgi's show at 8 am in ring 5 on Sat. and 8 am in ring 8 on Sunday. Kodi and I are driving over tonight and staying in my RV. Maybe I'll see you there. I'm in RV spot G5.

There's a show at the Amana Colonies RV & Events center on August 29-30 that has a lot of corgi's entered. (especially the Sunday show). It would be a great chance for you to come up and meet a lot of the local corgi people/breeders....

I didn't know that you wanted him to show; she did mention that she didn't think that eyelid was going to fill in. Personally, I'd still show a dog if there was color at the corner of the eye (the standard says "white should never surround the eye," so I think it's fine as long as there's some color touching the eye, and plenty of people think that it's fine to show a dog with white completely surrounding one eye because the standard says "eyes"), but I know she likes to have color completely around it.

I know Betty Ann is thinking of a breeding for later in the fall and it sounds like it's going to be great, so if this one doesn't turn out I am sure there will be something later.

I waited through two or three litters to get Clue (in my avatar) so I have been there, believe me. I'd much rather have Betty Ann's very, very high standards than some other breeders who decide that everything in the world is show quality.

At 11:39am on July 9, 2009, Missy D said…: There are 3 Iowa Cardi people that show and have blogs:
http://cardicorgicapers.blogspot.com/
http://cindy-foggybottom.blogspot.com/
http://winjammin.blogspot.com/

The Cardi Corgi Capers folks have Kodi's littermate, Ella. The Winjammin folks are close to me and I plan on contacting them for advice when I get back from my vacation in August. Shows are kind of at a lull right now around here.

Start following some of the links to other bloggers that these folks have on their site and you'll find a bit more on showing there.

At 10:48am on July 9, 2009, Missy D said…: Showing will be a commitment, but at least grooming is a lot easier with cardi's than collies, which my mom raised and showed most of my life. (I spent 15 hours last weekend helping her just bathe and groom her 6 dogs) I plan on trying to get Kodi titled in obedience and perhaps some other fun stuff. Maybe we'll see each other at shows! (I'm from Des Moines)
