Just checking out the Duluth corgis. I left Duluth in 1976; my bro still lives there on Park Point. I KNOW there were no corgis in town when we were growing up.
Gwynnie has dramatic reaction to thunder and gunshots: she has bolted twice at thunder (not very loud thunder, either; we don't get much out here). Similar reaction to, of all things, soap bubbles and umbrellas. Not a big deal, but Al gets her turn hiking when thunder is forecast.
Dogs are unwelcome on nordic ski trails, but I've had some great times skiing with them in May, when the snow is firm and most skiers are gone. They love the snow.

Welcome...he is very cute. My daughter has a tri also.

We got him from a couple in Superior, WI. They bought him from the breeders (here in Duluth) when he was 6 mo. old. I have tried to contact the breeders, but it appears on his AKC paperwork, that they were just 2 people that happened to have AKC registered dogs and they wanted to breed them. (the people on the paperwork have different last names, and neither have listed phone numbers ) But I do know that he comes from champion blood lines, (according to the previous owners) and he has perfect coloring, and a very prominent "fairy saddle" on his back, and has no physical defects. He is beginning to get acclimated to our house now, and uses the backyard for his "business" and has begun to bark and growl when I come in the back door and my wife is home alone. It is so funny when one of our doorbells ring, and he invariably runs to the wrong door, jumping up and down while barking up a storm. He is also addicted to his tennis ball, and will not give up trying to get someone to throw it for him when we have company.
He has become quite comfortable with me, and will jump into my lap for a snooze every so often. (while I scratch his belly, of course) The positions he sleeps in remind me of a cat sometimes, as he will lay on his back with all fours in the air, and his neck twisted sideways, and actually sleep in that position for 15 minutes or so before he rolls on his side, or twists his neck the other way.....LOL
All in all, we are becoming very fond of him, and he is well liked by all our friends too.
Let us know if you ever make it up this way, and we will have a play date at the local dog park here, I am sure buddy would like to meet another corgi.

Buddy is very cute. He reminds me of our Cagney. Can you tell me where you got him? We were told when we got Cagney from rescue that she had a brother that was also adopted out who looked alot like her. Makes me wonder. We got Cagney from a rescue in Siren, WI.

Oh, and Cagney is scared of loud noises. 4th of July was trying.

Welcome! I graduated from UMD and have family in Duluth : )

Welcome Alex, Buddy and family!

I should have said"showable" not registrable. I have been told this stuff by his previous owners, who were told this by the breeders they bought him from.
I guess fear of loud noises is considered a character defect in the breed, as they should not be "gun shy" due to the fact that they are herding dogs, and should be headstrong and pushy rather than fearful.
He was born and raised in a horse stall until the age of 6 months, when he was purchased by his previous owners. His D.O.B. is 08/15/06 according to the AKC registration form given to us by his former owners. (they never bothered to register him, and now we would be stuck with numerous extra fees if we want to do it this late.) The limited box is not checked on the form either, so I don't know who to believe.

I agree with the last comment, if parents are both AKC then the puppy can be. If sold after being fixed or breeder doesn't want the dog used in breeding for any reason then we would sell the dog with a limited AKC which only means can not be shown in the comformation show but can be shown in all other AKC events and receive AKC benifits.
He is a cute looking tri. He should be tons of fun for you and your faimly. They do train easy with positive renforcement only. If you try to scold them they seem to hold it against you

That's weird.. I've never heard of not being able to register an animal because of a personality trait... Why is that?
