MurderouslySly posted:Hello lovely Corgi lovers :-) Our breeder isn't breeding right now, but I know of another lady out in Culpeper, VA. Dalarno Corgis. Loki's father (trucker) is from there. http://www.dalarno.com/index.html Yes, the webpage looks like it was made in 1995, but don't let that detract you from getting a puppy from her. She doesn't have any right NOW, but she may soon. It's about 2.5 hours from DC.

aliceamadee posted:Congratulations on bringing Marcus home! Cute guy! I hope the first night went well. Pepper cried for a while her first night, but she settled down after a day or two. Loki cried for weeks/months, but he finally calmed down. He's much more affectionate and loves to be around people. He follows us pretty much everywhere around the house. Sorry for the crappy quality, it's just a camera phone This is his spot when we're in the bathroom:  Here is a picture of Pepper about half a year ago looking happy:  Pepper tends to lay at our feet. Here she is keeping me company while I rest from my minor surgery today:  And here is Loki in the same situation:  Pepper goes in for her (roughly) 8 week check up from TPLO surgery. I hope to hear that she has made a full recovery, seeing how the doctor said she looked to be at the equivalent of 6 weeks recovery at 2 weeks. The hair on her left hind leg still hasn't fully regrown, but it's much better than what it used to be.

The really stand out in the sun, but otherwise you might not notice them. I second this. While floppy ears are adorable on a lab, they aren't fitting for a corgi.

It probably wasn't the right way to handle it but I didn't want her getting barreled over and possibly hurt by some strange dog. I gave the dude a piece of my mind, though. Argh, people.

Tristesse posted:He also likes to sleep half hanging off of things, like his body on the bed and his head and neck dangling off at a horrible angle. He freaked out my sister in law doing this, who thought he had fallen or something and snapped his neck. She apparently spent the better part of a day trying to come up with a way to let us know Ace was dead. Finally she went in and poked him and he was just sleeping. Awesome! Loki does this all the time (not to that Ace's extent), but Pepper seems to be prim and proper and won't sleep in awkward positions.

aliceamadee posted:I love Josie!!!!! <3 <3 <3 We took Pepper and Loki to the Middleburg, VA christmas parade, where the fan favorite portion is the army of corgis (the corgi corps) that walk the streets. They said it was something like 60 corgis there, but it seemed like that was a gross underestimation. Most of them were Pembrokes, but there were a few Cardigans there Here is a video of some of the walk. Note: these aren't my videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbGO3zTum1w The best part was waiting for the parade to start and all the dogs were in the staging area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm8SF0lTsbE&feature=related At around 0:03 you can see Pepper sprint forwards (for no reason at all). The lard-rear end in the brown hoodie, Yankees hat, and the silly low-budget white sign is my walking Loki, who was just under a year old. What is odd, is that Loki was much better behaved than Pepper, which is quite the opposite than the norm. You can also catch them in two other videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-wNj2DKVvc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qto-II1OGAE Edit: Christmas parade starring Loki (and why retractable leashes are a terrible idea) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw_jjBfJbk8 abaddonis fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Aug 16, 2011 |

The Dave posted:Corgi Corps is amazing, however in that second video why is that woman making that poor fellow walk with a limp? I couldn't tell if the leash was under his leg, the costume was bothering him, or if he actually had a limp. However, interestingly enough, Pepper had a partial tear in her knee we didn't know about at this event and she continued to zoom around like nothing was wrong. Her TPLO surgery was a total success, and I would estimate she is at least 95% of what she was before the tear. She is still zooming around like noone's business. I still get nervous when they nip at each others hind legs when they play though

ApexAftermath posted:Yeah my wife and I noticed that last night too. You can see him limping in both of the first 2 videos for sure and he was limping pretty good. Shouldn't be making that poor pup walk on a limp like that. Yeah, i looked at it a bit closer and the leash clearly wasn't under the leg. Sadly, not everyone is a responsible dog owner

She's not really bad like embarrassing bad, but she just wants to play and can't be bothered to listen. Same here. We have rather bark-y dogs that like to bark at EVERYTHING. We try to keep them calm, but it ultimately doesn't work

anachrodragon posted:Josie has injured her right front leg twice in two years, and now we're giving her Duralactin based on our vet's suggestion. Our vet seems to think that soft tissue leg injuries are somewhat common in short legged dogs unfortunately. Pepper had to have TPLO surgery, but she has bounced back from that like a champ. I don't know how she tore her ligament, but thankfully, it wasn't a bad tear. She's probably at 95% of her old speed, but she's also pretty young.

Wonder Bra posted:He's, hmm.... A year and a half, just about. We went on this hike after his first birthday, which may have been too soon, but we only did 4 miles a day, which isn't a lot considering his activity level. I hope his little leg is OK, too. I really don't want him to have to have surgery. Pepper was showing the same symptoms, albeit in her rear left limb. She partially tore her CCL at the dog park (she got flipped and rolled on when running around) or when she hit her rear leg jumping over some landscaping stones (which were approximately 4-6" high) and took an awful tumble. We don't know exactly how she hurt her leg, but I'm pretty sure it was one of those two occurrences. As a result, she had to have TPLO surgery. Obviously, there will be some differences, as your puppy is seeing lameness in his front limb, but I would think that the process would be pretty similar. First visit to vet: Rest and Rimadyl for a week or two. Pepper showed little improvement, so we scheduled the 2nd visit. Second visit to vet: X-Rays and referral to Orthopedic Surgeon Third visit (first to OS): They took her for the whole day, examined her range of movement, made their diagnosis. Partial tear of her CCL ligament. At this point, we had to make a choice. Since it was a partial tear, Pepper wasn't overweight, and the only symptom now was a slight limp, we could try and see if it would heal on its own, or, we could go ahead with the surgery. Because Pepper was so young (she was just under 3 years old), we opted for the surgery. We didn't want to risk her further damaging the ligament, or possibly tearing the other ligament as a result of her compensating for the lame limb. Fourth visit (second to OS): Surgery day was successful, and we started the 6 months of healing along with tramadol (for pain), carprofen (anti-inflammatory), and an antibiotic were perscribed as well. No stairs for 6 months, little to no movement for a few weeks, and leashed at ALL times when outside to go to the restroom. The E-collar had to stay on for a few weeks as well. Here she is the day we brought her home  Fifth visit (third to OS): This was (I believe) her 8 week checkup. The Surgeon was surprised to see Pepper advance so fast. He estimated she was about a month or so ahead of schedule with her healing. We waited the full 6 months until we felt comfortable letting her roam free. Sixth visit (final to OS): The surgeon was pleased to see Pepper had done so well. While she doesn't have the upper limit of her top speed, she still gets around pretty quickly (probably about 95% of what she was). Final thoughts: About $3,600.00 later (total of all visits), we have a fully repaired corgi. Loki is showing the same signs as Corwin (slight limp in the front after running/lots of exercise) and he seems to bounce back after a day or so of some good rest. If it develops into something where he is limping without the running around, we will go to the vet. Let us know how things go. Cheerful and back in action. Time warp puppy is in the background  Who is that handsome devil? That would be Loki, whose name is aptly fitting  I'm still experimenting with picture/file size, so bear with me. Sorry if I gently caress anything up

I know I suck at taking pictures and I'm jealous at how well Wonder Bra's pictures come out. That being said, here are some pictures of my little hell raisers! With our new camera, Pepper no longer has the lazer-eyes of death. One of the few times Loki is calm and not running around like a mad man  Derp!  Just seconds before they kick into high gear and go at it WWE style  Feels good man  A happy Pepper  Normally she is the one derping around outside, maybe it was the heat  Loki has been semi-sick the past few weeks, but he's slowly recovering. I swear, he has the most energy ever, even when his poop comes out like soft-serve. He's just now getting back onto his regular food from a week of chicken and rice. This is the 2nd time in 2 years he has had this crazy bout of enteritis (or something similar.) The first time it happened, we came home to a crate and carpet covered in vomit and diarrhea. After he recovered, we got smart and decided to keep him on a linoleum floor when he's sick.

souphanousinphone posted:Hello friends. I am new to corgis (and puppies, for that matter) and I'm looking to get one in the next upcoming few months. I just started doing some research last night, read through the puppy thread and this thread, etc. I am moving to a little one-bedroom home soon and aside from 2-3 hours of classes a day (I am a student), I'm home a lot. My boyfriend is happy to coordinate his schedule with mine to make sure that potential puppy isn't left alone, as well as my future roommate. To be honest, she can come off as kind of a bitch. I have a pup from Trucker and I love him. The one interaction I had with her, she kinda rubbed me the wrong way, but don't let that stop you from buying from her. Edit: I guess I should post some photos of him. Don't mind the blue eye, he was the only one in his litter with this and is just a recessive genetic trait.

gogogiraffes posted:I got Gizmo at 12 weeks old. I can count on my hand (other than infections) when he's peed in the house. Chalk me up for the anti-pee pad group. We haven't used a pee pad for either dog and we have no problem with them going in doors. However, I worked fairly close to home and walked them on my lunch break for the first 6-7 months and crated them. They no longer need the crates and we have no issues. As an aside, those food bowls with the prongs in the middle are a god send.

ButWhatIf posted:Welp, we're not going to the picnic tomorrow. Neige threw up about 9 times in 12 hours, so we've got a vet appointment in a couple hours. I think we'll just have a nice, casual weekend of relaxation instead, which we both sorely need. I've been pulling 10-12 hour workdays all week, and she needs to let her little tummy feel less icky. Keep us updated and hopefully it isn't anything serious. Loki was having issues with vomiting. The problem was, it was intermittent and no pattern to it... until it dawned on me that almost all of his thrown up kibble didn't look chewed at all. We got one of those special bowls with the prongs in the bowl that helps prevent speedy eating. He hasn't had any issues since.

Anyone have experience with Addison's disease in their corgi? Loki just had bloodwork done after his gastro-related issues kept coming back and his sodium/potassium ratio was borderline. He goes in for the ACTH test tomorrow. If it comes back what he does have Addison's, I know he will be on meds for the rest of his life, but what should I expect?

Mordiceius posted:Do all corgis do this? We feed Otto the amount recommended and every time he eats, it's like he's starving with how fast he is inhaling the food. Try using a bowl with the posts in the middle. This forces them to eat around them, use their tongue, and slows down their eating. It's helped Loki tremendously Edit: http://www.chewy.com/dog/proselect-...CFZRr7Aod9GIANA Added a link to an example

Pepper went in for her yearly check up and the vet had noticed that she lost a couple lbs and looked a little bloated, so we took some blood to get tested. Results came back abnormal, but pointed to nothing specific, so we scheduled an ultrasound for the next day given the worst case diagnosis. She ended up crashing that night, and one trip to the emergency vet revealed that she had lymphoma and was bleeding into her stomach. RIP, she was too young Pepper was a good dog
