people do often asking me what my boys are "mixed with". I know of course what a Pembroke is but had no idea another type of Corgi existed. The best is when they inquire about Uno b/c he's a blue merle. "Oh I didn't know Corgis came in that color!??? Is he part Aussie?". Then I explain he's a purebred and he is a different breed of corgi than what they're thinking of. With Cooper, 2 wks ago when we were at the barn, the farrier asked what both boys were mixed with and asked if Coop was half border collie and half corgi b/c of his markings (um.. black and white.. apparently this makes him border collie haha). I again explained the breed.

It's kind of fun having a breed that's not popular. Less overbreeding. yay.

I'm actually glad more people don't know about them. They're different, and wonderful, and need to be appreciated by people who take the time to find out how perfectly wonderful they are. ;)

I had to explain to someone while we were at the park today that there are 2 kinds of Corgi.. that the Pems aren't just Cardi's with docked tails... Though with his coloring, most people think he's half German Shepard...
I've wanted to respond a couple times, 'yeah, I finally figured out how to breed dogs with the specific qualities i want.. German Shepard body, Doxie legs...' but that kind of snarkyness doesn't shine well on our breed

Kathie, I have had that happen at my vet too....although once I explained the tail and the difference in pembroke vs. cardigan...the vet tried to look like he believed me...but I think he had to google it after I left!

What is it with vets? I took Tucker in for his one-year shots and to be neutered yesterday, and the vet tech had this big smile on her face and looked so pleased with herself and said "Oh, isn't he a cutie. He's part Corgi. What else is he?" She didn't say so, but clearly didn't believe me when I explained that he is a CARDIGAN Welsh Corgi....

The kind Finn has been wearing is just a Target collar. It's a medium which is 5/8" wide and up to 16" long. The Large would be 1" wide and up to 26" long but the width seems like too much for him now. I don't want it to feel like a neck brace! It's hard to picture it on him as an adult to decide if it will still be too wide then or not. Petsmart has other brands that might work. They have a medium that is 3/4" and up to 19" long. Does 19" seem long enough for an adult? I don't want to have to keep buying collars. :)

all my pets that should have collars wear them all the time.. never know when someone might just sneak out the door on ya!

I'm not sure what the width on the collar Ein wears is, but we got him the one for Large dogs, just one of those generic plain adjustable collars that happened to be red just like Ein's on Bebop!! I think it might be an inch wide or so, though we probably could have gone with a medium since his collar is shrunk all the way down to as small as it will go so we don't end up chasing a crazy happy corgi all over gods green garden until he decides he's eady to finish his walk cause it was just big enough to slip over his noggin.

my guys very seldom wear collars, but when we go out, they wear 3/4" collars. I think Hoover could wear a 1" without it being too wide, though.
