Idaho is just too big, right? Sat. the 19th sounds good to me. I know there are a few other Boise-area folks on mycorgi.com--how about it, folks?

Drew and Julie, Scout and I would love to do this! We have never been to that dog park--only the one near Ft. Boise downtown. Sometime in September would be great for us. I don't know how many Idaho corgis are in the Boise area. Scout's breeder, ...

Yea, Kathleen! Glad to see you on mycorgi.com!!! I started a request for Castell corgi owners to reply to the "Sibling Search" group. So far, no one has. There is also a group for Corgi Professionals you should join.

Hope all is well in Boise!! I love that area!

At 1:52pm on June 20, 2009, Melissa S. said…: I had to look up Degenerative Myelopathy because I was un familiar with it :( but that sounds intimidating!!!! I will have to be sure to add the to Walkers list of things I need to test for! Most things he was cleared by parentage, but I think(know) If I plan on breeding him, having all other testing done will be very important!!!
I commend your breeder for putting all her efforts into her linage!!!!

At 1:41pm on June 20, 2009, Melissa S. said…: We got walker from Candace Cloud out of West Plains, Missouri! He is very well bred and we love him!!!!! Some day he will be my little stud dog!

It is sad that we are so far away :( I love your pictures by the way!! Scout is very handsome!!!!! I think it is safe to say I have been swept away by Corgi charm!!!

At 4:32pm on February 28, 2009, John Wolff said…: A few months after we lost our first corgi, on my way to Utah, I tried to check out Kathleen Mallery's place in Parma, but nobody was home when I called. Gwynnie was waiting for me upon my return. Our dogs came from Carrie Hale, Joyce Gilpin and Cheri Helsdon. Carrie is a pretty serious breeder. We are wholly delighted with Al & Gwynnie.

Yes, I'm sure all responsible breeders will be using the DM test. I don't know what the actual gene frequency is in the Pem population, but it was 75% (!) in the unaffected control group in the Coates paper. 66% homozygous at-risk, and only 13% clear, not many to work with. There must be something else going on the explain this low penetrance -- genetic or environmental. I'll bet we'll be hearing more. But even breeding clears to carriers will help a great deal.
I'm wondering if there's a valuable corgi trait that's linked to the DM locus, so the DM allele was inadvertently selected along with it. That would make it harder to get rid of maybe.
The technology behind this DNA stuff is almost literally incredible.

I remember one thing from the Castell website that I thought was over-the-top: she imported this gorgeous Pem from Finland with a lovely tail -- and had to have it surgically removed to show the dog in the U.S.!! There were before-and-after photos. That's a really invasive thing to do to an dult dog. @#$%^&! We would not even be allowed to do something like that to our laboratory mice unless there was some compelling scientific reason.

I wish some breeders would simply thumb their noses at this part of the breed standard and go and show their dogs with tails, in-your-face: "Hey you humans! I've got a gorgeous tail! Get used to it!" Tail Power. I don't like the idea of legislated regulations, but I wonder if people would choose undocked dogs if given the choice. I see Al's nub waving like mad when he greets me, and I wonder.....

Lots of people take their corgis hiking. I ran into a guy last Sept. who recognized Al right away as a relative of his. Small world.

Our oldest girl is 9 years old.
