Amy commented on Nicola Porter's blog post 'HAHAHAHA'

Hee Hee. My grrrlll insulted a large American Bulldog yesterday so I signaled for her to sit and lay down lest we get mauled. As soon as my attention is diverted to the owner she adds a few sassy barks. Wouldn't be a corgi....

Amy replied to amberlie and kirby's discussion 'how does your corgi like winter?'

My corgi loves the cold too. Negative 20 was too cold for her paws but anything else...she still wants to play in the snow! If the paw pads are tough from walking they will be better able to handle the cold.

Amy replied to Natalie and Lance's discussion 'Too many off leash dogs to enjoy walking....grrrrr'

I walk my dog twice a day and we have been chased and bitten by 3 dogs who are "good" dogs who are off leash. The unfortunate thing is that people can be pretty naive about how "good" their dog is. My dog can be dog-aggressive and just her strut s...

Amy replied to Jane Christensen's discussion 'I am considering rehoming one of my dogs....would she be better off?????'

One more comment. In her previous home Rubi (my dog) was not housetrained, knew no commands, fought with the other dog and had constant ear infections. In my home Rubi has never had an accident. She clearly knows more commands than I do. And her e...

Amy replied to Jane Christensen's discussion 'I am considering rehoming one of my dogs....would she be better off?????'

I think it is very self-aware of you to acknowledge that there might be a better situation. Just be selective and very honest about what your dog needs so that prospective owners can make the right choice. I adopted a dog that no doubt drove her ...

I might have missed it...but how long did this diet take? I have overfed my corgi....

Amy replied to Linsey & Grissom's discussion 'How is YOUR Corgi with Cats?'

My corgi thinks that cats are great-this was a selling point when I adopted her. I already had 2 senior cats who had never even seen dogs before. Because the dog behaves herself there are no problems. One cat tried to steal her food...once and onl...

Amy replied to Melissa's discussion 'help help help! need advice about my fearful corgi'

I adopted my Rubi at the age of 6 and she was not interested in chewing treats and toys for MONTHS until she felt more comfortable in our home. She still won't play with balls or any other toys and she is fearful when she sees other dogs playing. ...

Profile Information

Hometown:: Fort Collins, CO

About Me:: I have volunteered at a local animal shelter since 2003 and I get to see soo many great dogs of all shapes and sizes. Rubi is my first dog as an adult.

Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No

About My Corgi(s):: Rubi is a 6 year old tri corgi. She is 33 lbs but not overweight. My husband and I adopted her from the shelter where I volunteer. Rubi behaves like an angel inside the house, likes cats, LOVES children, and getting her belly rubbed. She does have "short-dog" syndrome (also why she was surrendered) but we are workin' on that.

I have:: Pembroke

We just discovered that he wants to destroy the vacuum cleaner and now he's running around the house gruntin like he's a tough guy lol

At 10:44pm on December 12, 2008, D46 said…: Cardigans are a bit larger than your average Pem and most of the Pem's I've seen have a great range of weights being anything from about 18-35 pounds. I have some friends in Kingsport area who have two boy Corgis that are 15 pounds less than Bubba but they are long and lean looking. Bubba is more muscular and large boned and he'd look awful at 25 pounds. He has a waist and I can feel his ribs so, I don't worry about what others think.

At 6:13am on December 9, 2008, D46 said…: Amy-I read your post about your Cardi and I definitely dont' think she's overweight. My Bubba weighs 42 pounds and he's far from being obese...look at his pictures. He has an aunt who is somewhere in the ball park of 65 pounds!! Now, that's a fat gal!! Some Corgis are just larger than others with thicker muscles and larger bone structure. I wouldn't worry about it unless her chest starts dragging the ground.

At 9:22pm on August 11, 2008, Amy said…: Still making progress with shortie! Laid nicely in the yard for a few hours while I talked to the neighbors w 2 pits. She even shared a snack of wild grass. Aww!

At 12:04pm on July 24, 2008, Katie said…: Hi Amy, my rescued tri also has short dog syndrome...she's not called the fun sucker outer for nothing! She's classic alpha corgi femail I adore her and she's made huge progress in the last year. She's going through another adjustment phase since I've added another rescue to the group.

At 8:12pm on July 23, 2008, Anne said…: would love to hear more about your training/working on 'short dog syndrome'. Our Le-Le has it. Plays great with other corgis but shows teeth & growls at bigger dogs. Not sure what to do since this is new behavior. Plus sometimes she growls at my husband if he is wearing baseball cap or something has changed with his appearance.

At 7:58pm on July 23, 2008, Amy said…: Update on Rubi's "short-dog": Rubi saw a dog today, turned and looked at me! Whoo hoo! She was checkin' in like "Hey mom, what should we do?", instead of behaving aggressively. It was a fabulous moment after so much training. We walk twice a day and practice sitting, laying, walking nice, and paying attention throughout the walk. It is soo nice to see it all paying off!

At 7:05pm on July 19, 2008, Freddie said…: Our family rescued Fred seven years ago, and he has "short dog" as well. I have posted before, but it's been a month or so. (busy summer) He really only likes other Corgi's. We have been dealing with anxiety, and the fact that he's jealous of our adopted cat since Nov. Also, I read Tammy's post, and to add to that one; Fred likes to walk on the back of our sofa. I know now that it's because he wants to be up at our level.
