Hi. Responding to your comment about Madison's heritage (hope this is the right place) :) Anyway, you wondered why I think she's mixed, so I thought I'd share.
I think she's mixed because after comparing her to photos of 1,000+ Pems and Cardigans (yes I was obsessive in my search, lol xD), I noticed she has some traits that are unlikely to have come from either breed.
First thing I want to point out is her white markings. See how small they are and how they don't cover much? Every Corgi I've seen, in the very least, has white that covers the front of their chest. She doesn't have much white on her chest. Also she has less white on her muzzle than I've seen in 99% of Corgis. I've seen a bunch of Collies and Shelties with white on their muzzle that was shaped just like hers. Maybe she's got a bit of that in her?

Next, I move on to her ears. Look how close together they are when she's attentive. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think 99% of purebred Corgis can put their ears up that high? They seem to have ears that are set wider apart on the head.

Next, I move on to the shape of her ears. See how pointy they are? Compare that to most Corgis. Their ears are usually more rounded. Sometimes you do find pointed eared Corgis (I think you have some?) but I've yet to find one with ears in precisely in her shape.

The next thing I want to point out is what the top of her muzzle looks like in profile. See how it's not straight? See how roman nosed (bent down) it is? Granted, I have seen a couple Pems with virtually identical muzzle tops, and several Cardis, but it's not super common. Pems usually have straight muzzle tops and Cardis, if they're roman nosed, aren't usually THIS roman nosed. However, this is a trait I saw in a lot of Dachshunds! Maybe she has some Dachshund?

Finally, her chest is different from a Pembroke in two ways. The first difference could be accounted for by her being a Pem x Cardi mix but the second difference seems like it would have to come from something outside the Corgi breeds. Okay, the first difference, which could come from being part Cardi, is that her chest is narrower and longer than a Pem chest. The narrowness is easiest to see in top view and the length is easiest to see in side view. The second difference is the depth of her chest. Depth you measure from the front view (dog looking at you). To measure it I look at the area from the base of the neck to where the chest terminates between the front legs. I could be off on this one but Madison's chest seems shallower than every Corgi that I've compared it too.

So, anyway this is why I affectionately call her "Madison the Almost Corgi" because she's close enough for me, hehe xD If you've got photos to prove me wrong though, feel free to share. I'd love to see! :D

Awesome, thank you!

Aww lovely!! I love their little tails!! Where can I find this group for tailed corgis?

Yes Gwen does have a tail. In the UK you can't dock dogs tails, and definitely can't show a dog with a docked tail, so yes we get cute little curly tails here!!

Thanks, Jane. I miss you and seeing all your beautiful Corgis. Btw, have you heard of the supplement MicroLactin? We started giving it to our guys & Jack and I are taking it too, for joint health. My friend said it worked wonders for her 14yo GSD. Since Ricky's 2nd ACL repair, I want to keep his bones healthy. At least the surgeon said he can't tear his ACL again once it's repaired. The bright side!

You are so correct, corgis should live so much longer!  Last summer I had total reconstruction of my foot and was in a wheel chair for lengthy time as there were problems.  Both boys were in carts, Sonny only desiring to go backwards which caused major problems!Mike would carry the boys outside daily, make sure they could not Swiffer around the entire yard (Lucky was very good at getting into trouble) and they were out for the day.  This was not a good life for anyone.  In August, Sonny let us know that he was ready to leave this world and we let him go.  Lucky was with us until January - he had gained 5# of fluid in a week and we could not stuff him into his cart!  By that time I was on crutches, off to the vet who took off enough fluid to do an exam.  Large, inoperable tumor behind his heart.  So poor Lucky, found in a snowbank on Christmas Eve, IVDD w/surgery, DM and now this.  We could have come back 3X week for removal of fluid, but no.  We let him go.  I still cry.  He was my heart dog.  We have found a breeder, look her up and let me know!  Rogue Country Corgis

Hi Jane!  I have been hibernating.  Lost both Sonny and Lucky to DM and I just could not be around corgis.  Ready for a new pup or a youngish rescue.  Are you still breeding?  If so, what testing are you doing?  After 2 dogs on carts we need to know DM status, I expect you can understand.  Sitting here with tears, just looking at the faces of your dogs.  Carol

Just wanted to let you know that Calvin is getting rest and doing well! He is now off the tramadol and doggy advil, but is still taking glucosamine. We're keeping him off the couch so he doesn't do any jumping. We got him a harness and plan on walking him soon. Best of all, we've been giving him lots of love and he is back to his lovey, talky, chipper self! Hope you and yours are doing well, gearing up for the fall and winter, staying warm on those cold Minnesota nights!

PS All the neighbors still love Rainy!

Thanks for your friend request and comments. My husband and I are really depressed about this whole situation. We had another Corgi about 10 years ago that was such a sweetheart, easy going delightful dog. He unfortunately had an untimely passing. We didn't have any dogs for a couple of years, so heartbroken. We went back to the same breeder and obtained Baxter. Life was great until I added Bailey to the mix. We really thought things would settle with age, time and patience. Ha!

Hey Jane (and gang)!  So sorry that I have been lax in my corgi duties as of late.  I have been in and out of the hospital, my most recent bout ending today.  I also had an amputation earlier this year.  It's been rough.  I wanted to tell you about Calvin.  We found out today that he has a calcification on his vertebrae, and loose joints in his hips.  Art just went to get him at the vets.  I will have to let you know how it progresses.  My poor little bubby.  :(

I missed you too! And all my Corgi friends and families. We're flying back to CA with Ricky and Lucy in tow. Once I'm back in CA I hope to spend more time with all of you. xoxo wendy, lucy & ricky-rafa

Who knows, Jane. It's fun being back and seeing old friends. I've gotten so busy with setting up my Long Beach, NY house. I also got caught up with Facebook, helping arrange our HS reunion. I could only handle one social network at a time. Corgis are more fun than reunion planning! But, the reunion was a ball.
