Hi Joanna.. I was wondering where you got Gemma?:)

Gemma reminds me of my Connie - Gorgeous :-) She also loves to chew anything, but can tear tennis balls to sheds .. !

Have a nice day=]

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.

Gemma is so pretty!

Gemma is very charming! I love watching your videos

Thanks for your comment and those are refered to as bunny butt's lol `tina~!

Ohhh shoot,,I guess Romba is Gemma and a her not him,,,,sorry shes so sweet `tina~ and Cooper

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 :(

Wow! LaVerne and Gemma really DO look alike! I hope LaVerne has the same coloring as Gemma when she matures. She is so beautiful!

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?

What a cute baby!!! We are here in Anchorage too! - I can tell you that Buster has not enjoyed the recent negative weather we have been having!
