This particular event has a long standing tradition of being in September. And, being an "annual" there is only one per year.
There are other events, like club events, but they tend to be in summer months too. The club's Fun Day is in June at Fea...
We loved the corgi meet up. Thank you so much for posting the event, I would've been clueless otherwise!
Do you know where they'll be posting pictures? I'll be uploading mine here and on facebook.
Thanks again! :)
It was great meeting you too! I had soo much fun at the picnic, never seen so many corgis in my life!!
I can't believe how tiny Pancake is compare to the other corgis hahaha
Hi Ginny, I think we met before at one of the Corgi picnic at Burbank...plus a year or so ago I donated several cates. I got Dolores' email and doubtful that we can make it again this year but will send a check...the dogs are in agility training on the weekends. Will you post the new picnic information on the site?
Thank you Ginny. . .I had a wonderful time at the Picnic. . .I was coming down with a summer cold, but it didn't keep me away. . .my pupsters had so much fun with all the other Corgis. . . .and I too hope to attend next year's event. . .by the way, that red dress was too cute. . . .
Wow! This is a group shot from the 9/6/08 So. Cal. Corgi Picnic. What a great day! I hope that everyone agrees that the event was all that it was promised to be and more too!
There were sooooo many Corgis! And this year, we had a lot of puppies too! If there is anything cuter than a Corgi, it has to be a Corgi puppy!
It was great to see old friends and to meet some new ones too. I was especially pleased to meet some MyCorgi folks and their Corgis!
Thank you for posting the Corgi picnic information on MyCorgi.com. It was soooo fun! JiBi was sooo tired he actually fell asleep on our drive back home. It was great meeting you and Phoebe!
The Corgi picnic for Corgiaid was a great experience yesterday. It was great meeting you, Phoebe, other Corgis and their human companions. Thanks for sharing info on the event; I wouldn't have otherwise known about it. With all the activities, I forgot to ask people more questions about agility. But that's ok, I have contacted local trainers and agility clubs for their advice. If I decide to enroll Mac, I still have to decide whether a recreational or competitive class is best.
Anyway, I posted online pictures I took at the picnic. Links can be found on the event page and my latest blog entry on my Corgi page.
Good deal & agility is all about fun! That's what we as humans have to remember! Beginning classes are on leash and you get to use treats or toys as rewards, so it is pretty easy to motivate a Corgi...LOL. Phoebe told us that she wanted to do agility by what she did in our home. Things like walking along the BACK of the couch & climbing anything she could find to climb. One of her nicknames is Fearless! She loves the A-Frame and the tunnels too. She was 2nd fastest in her class for the timed jumps...but the 1st place doggie cheated! His legs are about as long as mine!
Mac already has a head start over others since he likes his doggie pool! That was one of the things we used in beginning classes to have the dog get used to a different & unstead surface. Phoebe's biggest challenge was the teeter. But after a little bit of work & a teeter at home, she is a champ with that and will take it on her own if it is left out!
Hi Ginny, looking forward to seeing you, Phoebe, and all the Corgis at the picnic. I'm going to see if I can reserve a spot in the beginning agility class that dogservicesunlimited.com has to offer since it might fill up. I hope Mac can handle it if he gets in. I'm sure you and others at the picnic will have some good tips on how and where to go to get started in agility so that should be helpful too.
