Deb, I found something rare in our paper today! An ad for 1 male Welsh Corgi born 3/22/09 so about 4mos old already. Shots are up to date, mom is on site! They are asking $350. Let me know if you want their phone number and I will send it! It may save you a longer trip to get one at Dahl House. I wish I could get another one but 2 is my limit for now. I have not seen an ad for one in our local paper for a long time!!!!

I too recommend Dahl House Kennels. That's where we got Puck and he is so well behaved. They definitely pre-love their puppies. Puck has a wonderful temperament and very smart. He is a bit on the small side for a corgi but we love him all the same! She's priced right as well for what some people charge now a days for a corgi. Some breeders further north charge upwards of $1,000 and from what I've heard and seen not much personality.

Hi Deb and Gretzky! Did I hear you may be looking for another Corgi?? I can recommend Dahl House Kennels as well! Chloe and Gem have the same Sire Wyatt and I agree with Laura that they have a great way with the pups! Haven't seen new pups on their website in a while but you can talk with Sandy and ask about reserving! I also may know of a vet a little closer(zumbrota) that was raising Corgi's at one time and I could get some specifics for you if you are interested!!!

I saw your comment in the MN corgi page, and would highly recommend Dahl House Kennels in Waverly, MN. http://dahlhousekennels.com We got our Chloe there and she has been absolutely fantastic. She has a great personality, a quick and eager mind, and affectionate disposition...and we think she's rather pretty. :) Her mom was Gemsa and her dad was Wyatt.

They do have some funny sleeping positions. Tenby's favorite place to sleep is on the back of the sofa. Yes, that little 6 inch area and then he hangs is head off the end. At least when he is asleep up there he doesn't try to flip on his back.

Deb, I love the pictures of Gretzky on your profile!! How much does he weigh?? He such a handsome fellow!!! Have a good weekend!!!!

Hi Deb,
There are several differences and I'll try to give a short explanation but a good place to check is to go to AKC and look up breed info on both. It used to be that the Pems did not have tails either by nature or they're docked but that is changing and many on this site have tails...I think there's a club for the undocked also. I will NOT be docking my pups tails anymore! I hope to get my next one from the same parents that Livvy came from and I hope that I can get her to leave the tail long...I have a pup ordered for next spring/summer and that will be it for a long time!!!

The Cardigan is larger(up to 38# and the Pem up to 30# slightly different heads. Coats are close but colors are different.and I'll let you looks that up under the breed cuz it gets long...

The Pembroke is a little "bold" as the Cardi is a little more laid back. They also have a difference in that the Pem is an interior dog and will be the one inside the yard watching out and the Cardi will be walking the outer rim of the yard. Since I only have Pems...I can't say this from experience. Niether should be a "whitey" (a dog that has too much white or with the Pem should have no white on their back etc. this does not include the white collar... hope this helped somewhat!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by your question...do you mean the traits and how they are different between the Pembroke and the Cardigan???
Let me know and I'll try to answer...also maybe this would be a good discussion...I di know some of their differences...let me know!

Hi Deb,
How nice to meet someone from near Comfrey. I was born in Hibbing but have spent most of my life in or near New Ulm! I know Winona and LaCrosse well as my parent used to live in LaCrosse(before I was born) but we went there several times a year and would stop at some fish shop in Winona to eat!
I hope to have a litter of pups with Livvy in Jan/Feb. and then Bella sometime in late spring but that of coarse is a guess as mother nature will decide that! Since you're familiar with the winters I don't want pups then...Wynn came from Tyler which I'm guessing is not too far from Lamberton...he was the Corgi that started this love for them!

Al's gotten sore feet in two conditions: soft spring snow and soft sandy roads. Seems the stuff works its way in between the tough pads, irritating the soft skin between and around the pads. The Pawz are basically big tough balloons, light to carry, easy to put on (with practice), I plan to use them not routinely but in an emergency (he was visibly slowing, and stopping to lick his forefeet, on a nordic ski tour this spring, and only after the fast downhill stuff started). His tenderfoot problems appeared only after LONG, hard days; on the sandy roads, I noticed it only after the 2nd day. Like me, they're city dogs, weekend warriors.

Your photos of the boat, the water, the snowplowed driveway really bring me back (I'm from Duluth originally). How does Gretzky do in the deep winter snow? It REALLY got deep in Duluth. When the mountain snow if soft (spring, early summer), and human footsteps are deep ("postholing") it's hard for a corgi: up-and-down-up-and-down ... like an otter. Firm snow, no problem.
Does Gretzky get sore feet? AL may be a bit of a tenderfoot in some snow conditions and has gotten sore front pads a couple of times in spring snow and soft sand; I'm trying the "Pawz" booties.

HI Deb and Gretzky!! Thanks for the breeder info, I just wondered if Gem or Phinny came from the same breeder as Gretzky, I found it hard to find the Corgi breed here in Mn. We found Edward in Lime Springs Iowa, and Gem came from a breeder about an hour past the cities in Waverly! Anyway, I know exactly where La Crescent is as we have been there in the fall to get apples!! Yum, ED and Gem love em too!!!

Great to see there are other people who love the smell of Corgi paws!! Everyone thinks I'm crazy when I start sniffing Potus's paws! Welcome to mycorgi.com!

HI Deb and Gretzky! I don't know if you realized that we are neighbors here in Mn as we live in Rochester, not to far from you I don't think?? It was really great of you to take Gretzky into your home!! Do you know where your daughter originally got him? He is a gorgeous boy, he reminds me of our late Phinneas, check out our profile..... it looks like he loves the boat and water!!!

Welcome Gretzky!!

Chespstow fell off the boat the second time we took him out. He did sink fast but was up swimming by the time I jumped in and helped hand him to my husband. (thankfully it was summer and not cold winter water) The pontoon boat is about 3 feet from the water level. We took him to an island on the lake and let him recover on land for 20 minutes. Then we got back in the water and played with him and let him swim with us. He seemed to forget the incident and still loves the boat and water. But he is more careful about hanging over the side.

Welcome, We agree Gretzky is a very good looking guy.

Gretzky is a very good looking Corgi. My daughter actually talked me into getting our first ( Dingo ) she had done the research on them. I'm so glad she did talk me into him. Just wanted to say hi to you and Gretzky.

:)
