Please don't contact Pecan Valley asking for free corgis, it was a one-time deal. Allison Bidoof is going to have to get used to being an older sister. Alli's dad is Draco. Also, she's spoiled:  Click here for the full 1600x1200 image. It doesn't really get that cold here, but she has a sweet jacket.  Click here for the full 1600x1200 image. She wore this dress for her Christmas photo this year, but I can't seem to find a copy of that! I'll have to scan the hard copy we have again.

Frank was from an accidental litter from a family out in Mollala. They hadn't bred Corgis for a few years and were getting ready to get started again but Frank's parents were just a little too antsy. From what I've come to grasp from the board, it was pretty clear to see that Frank was coming from a BYB'esque place. Just with hearing so much good stuff and checking out C-Myste online, I'd like to go that direction with the next addition.

I use a blade shedder on my guy, which keeps his hair to a minimum. But when he decides to blow his coat, it's pretty much everywhere. Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum!

If that's the case then it's only temporary until his spring/summer coat comes in. Then you'll go through this again for the fall/winter coat.

Yeh ive seen the furminator and i think we might get a handheld pet dyson then for the couch.

The handheld that I have is amazing for pet hair, it's called a carpet shark. It has an attachment on the front with brushes that spin and pick up all the hair, so look for something like that. Just suction just wastes my time. Also it's pretty cheapo. Poor Ace is the most sad puppy in the universe right now so I don't have pictures yet because I feel guilty capturing his pain. He's fine from the surgery but put a drat e-collar on him and THE WORLD ENDS THE WORLD IS PAIN I HATE LIIIIIFFFEEEE.

I had to slap an e-collar on Darth Mila (the cat) cause she kept chewing on her stitches, and that's pretty much the reaction I get. Woe is me, this is the end, don't loving touch me. I'll have pictures up in her got run over by a car thread like tomorrow. Now she looks like some kind of half-poodle/cat/lamp hybrid.

I was so sad when I picked up Maverick from getting spayed because it was raining (which she was afraid of at the time), had a giant ecollar, and couldn't walk because of all the pain meds, then to top it off the gunk they put on her eyes made it look like she was crying. I about lost it I felt so bad for the poor thing. And since she was bigger she had to pee literally every 30 min, it was awful. But the next day she was back to herself and I took her e-collar off because she really wasn't interested in stitches. Also, Yay! Fleet Peeples! We need to have a goon meet there. ( I know we tried before but maybe try again!) I keep hoping that one day I'll show up and see a cute little corgi named Ace. He's too cute.

Yeah, seriously. Any tuesday, wednesday, or thursday is fine with me for the most part since I have a weird rear end shift at work. This week is obviously not a great idea due to stitches mc noballs. I'm usually the one standing in the lake taking pictures of my scared rear end corgi, and Ace is usually the one avoiding all the other dogs as much as possible.

Ya I'm just starting a new job this week ,but when Ace is feeling better about not having balls hit me up!

They've been holding them on the weekends so I haven't been able to go. I know a lot of people were pissed about the weekend leash laws being in effect, and really I don't see the point, but hey those were the rules before and people chose not to follow them, whatever. It's a beautiful park and very well maintained, so I don't see why the Orlando dog haters association wants to try and have it shut down/ relocated. Obviously it's very popular as I go there in the middle of the day on a Tuesday and see at least 20 dogs at any given time. Everyone does a very good job of cleaning up after their dogs, I don't even worry about stepping in dookie. The things the city has been trying to do in the name of budget cuts is pretty insane. I dunno, even if I could go to the meetings I don't live in Winter Park anymore, so since I'm not a district voter they won't really give a gently caress. Plus, I have no faith in Florida politics anyway... Give 'em a year and they'll probably bulldoze the place and build condos.

pioneermax posted:I knew thered be fur you know but i never ever expect this much freaking fur. Corgis shed-- this is a well-known fact of the breed (either of them). I know that in every single thread I caution people of this, and other undesirable traits like barking and inappropriate herding. Anyway, out of blowing season, it's an incredible amount compared to other breeds. When they are blowing, every surface the dogs touch is covered. There are two approaches to this problem- 1) Groom your dog with a brush that effectively pulls the loose undercoat out. This will need to be done DAILY during blowing season, and every few days outside of blowing season. Bathing shouldn't exceed once a month, and you should be using a high powered blower to get most of the excess undercoat out. Vacuuming will also need to be done every few days as well. You will still find fur on your clothes, furniture, and in your food, but it will be dramatically lessened. 2) Embrace the fur. Don't let it bother you. Accept the breed for the way it is, and groom as often as you feel is necessary. Invest in sticky tape rollers, and avoid going near them or sitting on any furry surface in your work clothes. I chose option two. My dogs get groomed when they obviously need it (tufting, when they start to smell-- which isn't often). I vacuum when I can see a decent amount of fur on the rugs. I don't mind plucking a stray hair or two out of whatever it is I'm eating. It's just dog fur, it's not gonna kill you. If it bothers you that much, you seriously chose the wrong breed.

I noticed teddy shed a LOT more when I first got him. I guess he was losing his puppy coat. It was almost unmanageable. I brushed and brushed but every piece of clothing was covered, even right out of the wash. I must have gone though a dozen lint brushes. My rug looked like a shag rug and I don't even have a rug! He is substantially better now. Now it's only mildly horrific.

I have a ragdoll, she leaves clumps of fur on everything and in everything so im not overally bothered and yes i do know its just dog fur im just a bit suprised at the amount he sheds compared to the other dogs ive had and was asking for methods to handle it. I have sticky rollers, again bella does more damage than he does on clothes, merlin just covers my sofa and the occasional corgi tumble weed (we have wood flooring). I brush him with a wire brush and keep baths to once a month, hes getting his adult coat at the moment so im guessing thats why hes covering my sofa.

Nothing's going to stop blow-off season, but I did see some improvement after giving Allison some fish oil and garlic/yeast tabs. Made her shinier, less dry skin, and less shedding. That said, she still sheds more than any other dog I've ever had. It's just better than it was.Vacuuming and Swiffering is still necessary constantly. Black hair on white carpet, ugh.

Docking is done for uniformity. However, due to controversy and docking becoming illegal in some countries, it's not unusual to see Pembrokes with tails these days. On another note, does anyone have suggestions for entertaining a bored corgi who can't be allowed to run around or jump? Josie is really frustrated because we're keeping her either crated or leashed while she's recovering from her spay surgery. She needs to be kept low activity for the next week or so until her stitches are ready to come out. We already bought her a big loving buffalo bone to work on, as well as a variety of other chews, but I know what she really wants to do is run around.

Ace has been bombarded with chews and frozen peanut butter kongs. He's still upset I'm not letting him tear rear end around the house like usual though. He didn't touch any chews until yesterday because he'd get too upset that the cone gets in the way. He figured out that if he's holding his head up he can transport the chew toys around the house WITHOUT HAVING TO HOLD THEM HIMSELF IT'S AMAZING so there's been a lot of slow prancing about with chew toys next to his face. Dog is weird. Edit: For the record Ace was born tailless, as were his littermates according to the rescue I got him from. If I recall right, bob tails/ full tails are actually a sign of bad breeding in pembrokes; tails should have been bred out from them.

That's interesting, I thought tails were totally bred about of Pembrokes. Give deer antlers a try. Nacho spends countless hours chewing on his antlers and they keep him quiet and happy. They're seriously the best chews ever. They have the consistency of cow hooves but have no odor. They last a long time and disintegrate while being chewed. There's nothing to swallow or break off like bones or rawhide and there's no mess orcleanup. They're also soft enough that there's no risk of breaking teeth.

Josie loves her antler but has been disinterested since getting fixed. We actually got her a buffalo bone that's big enough for her to chew around the cone. She still get's bored with it and starts crying. This has helped some because she's more comfortable. Plus we can turn it back from her face so it's easier for her to eat and drink.
