Here's Fitzgerald in his favorite spot. The groomer went kinda nuts and shaved him instead of just a trim, gonna be a few months before it all grows back.

Mines still got a spot on her back from where they shaved her too short and the furs not growing back proper.

Hooray for work corgis! :3:

I worked one weekend during crunch time when my wife was out of town. I didn't want to leave Waffles at home alone all day, so I brought her into the office with me. I put up a baby gate in the doorway to my office and she napped in her bed that was sitting next to my bookshelf. It worked out really well until the cleaning lady started vacuuming in the hallway. Once the vacuum fired up, I suddenly had a panicked corgi hiding under my desk and looking up at me with terrified eyes...

Is it a normal corgi thing for them to have a lot of extra skin on their back, like cat levels of extra skin?

Nobody else answered so I'll say that my half-corgi mess does have some extra skin on his back. It's mostly just below his neck, but it doesn't really look abnormal. Can't really tell until you actively look for it / grab it with your hands.

Thanks. Mines got it around her neck, but the bit on her backs like what you'd see on a cat. Its noticeable when she lies down as it kinda pools beside her.

Panda goes to work with when I'm not in school. She's gotten real comfortable with the office and everyone in it over the past few years but she refuses to not be by my side for very long. She waits outside the bathroom for me. More offices should be dog offices. Everyone enjoys her company. Dogs are great.

Also interesting, despite him being pure Corgi Cardigan, the ears stayed down even after more than a year.

Oooo a blue merle :love:

If their ears are big it can be tough for them to come up on their own, especially when they are little and teething and low on calcium, which helps keep the ears up. Our breeder gave our cardi a lovely duck tape crown to get her ears up because they hadn't started to rise by 5 months or so. I got the impression that there was a 'critical period' for propping ears up which makes it difficult to do so when they are older but I'm not a dog doctor or anything so I don't know if that's actually true.

My dad did indeed try that, while I preferred trying it with some calcium carrying things to help building it, however after a bit we gave up on it, as he utterly despised the tape.
Either way, now we got a blue merle with rrally cute baby ears - not the worst thing to have. :smug:

Oh, that's funny! Treasure those extra-large floppy ears then :) Ours loved to snack on calcium chews (obviously we didn't let her indulge to the point that it was dangerous) so I think that helped a lot with keeping hers up.

And yea, total grade A dog you've got there. He looks like a very good boy.

What a difference a month makes. It seems like one day we're still waiting for spring to show up and the next it is warm enough to go for a walk in the woods and splash around in a few streams...

That dog is always so patient when the kid is involved. :3:

On a side note, we've reached a new record of brushing out fifteen brush fulls of Corgi undercoat in one grooming session at our house. The last hoorah of her winter coat, maybe? When Corgis shed out their coats, they do not screw around.

Hello, I haven't visited this thread since Lucy passed away last year, but I've been taking care of my sister's corgster mutt for a few months now while she's out of the country so here's a few pics:





She's a corgi-shepherd I guess. She has a corgi body (including butt) and hair but very emotive ears and coloring I haven't seen on a corgi before--and she smiles like a corgi. She's also naughty and gobbles down dead birds before I can catch her, runs really drat fast, and falls on her back for belly rubs whenever you get close to her.

Y'all got Furminators for shedding? They're amazing.

So I've got a question concerning food. How much typically are you serving your Corgs and how many times a day usually?

We kinda messed it up with Count a bit in the beginning and gave him more than he should be eating which made him gain some pounds. Since then he has gone down and yes the vet did mention that he shouldn't be eating that much period.

Before I was doing like a cup a day, split between two bowls a day. I'm still not even sure what's right tbh. I'm used to having larger dogs so I suppose that's why I didn't do this the right way. Anyways my concern is that now on smaller portions Counts just always hungry and he's eating grass and sometimes poop. Our other dog used to eat grass and stuff but he was never underfed or anything. He's a lab he was always hungry no matter what. I just want to be sure that's the case here and I'm not doing something wrong with Count.

I'm going to bring it up to the vet but my I just wanted to hear something from other owners. I just want to do right by Count ultimately.

In better news, his itching has significantly decreased since we introduced fish oil into his diet.

Bonus photos of Count. He was chilling on the passenger side seat but sometimes he just figured being on he floor is best.
