Hello everyone! I am currently planning on getting a Corgi in mid-2025 so that I can spend as much time researching as possible. I came across a breeder in California (https://www.flyingkcorgis.com) that focuses on breeding crosses between Cardigans and Pembrokes.
A lot of their sires/dams are blue merles and bluie tris, and they’re transparent about the fact that this is because they are not 100% Pembroke. (They state that they are around 95%+ Pembroke.)
I was wondering if breeding for these coat variations- not only for this specific breeder, but Corgi breeders as a whole- is detrimental? Does it lead to negative health consequences? I was hoping on getting more information about this. I also heard that intentionally breeding for fluffies too can also be harmful, but I saw no sources for that so I would appreciate any.
Any information about this specific breeder too would be helpful as well. Thank you!
Hoooman, you’re supposed to chase me, I am not bringing it to you!!!
My friend has a corgi (4 year old male) that is easily triggered by certain objects, so I’m making a post here to see if anyone has had a similar experience and found strategies that work before she spends hundreds or thousands of dollars on training that may not work.
My friend has had him since he became old enough to be separated from his mother (about 2-3 months). He hasn’t had any traumatic experiences that we’re aware of. She takes good care of him: regular vet check-ups, grooming, treats, outdoor exercise time, lots of toys, lots of attention, everything he needs.
However, certain random things send him into a blind rage: aluminum foil, aluminum cans, pots/pans, cutting board, lighters, opening/closing windows, styrofoam cups, moving a chair while you’re sitting in it (but not while you’re not sitting in it), sometimes even sheets of paper. He aggressively barks and tries to attack these objects if he sees them, even if it means biting your hand in the process. The kitchen objects pose the biggest challenge because cooking at home can’t be avoided and the amount of time those objects are being touched is longer than the other ones. He’s an otherwise loving, playful dog, but certain objects bring out a level of aggression you’d expect if he was fearful for his life and trying to defend himself.
Does anyone else have any experience with this level of aggression at seemingly random objects? Has anything you’ve done worked to calm them down? She has considered getting him a crate for when she cooks, but getting him in there and keeping him calm while in there will likely be a struggle all on its own, so any other tips would be greatly appreciated!
Long story short, my bf and I have been discussing the possibility of getting our corgi a buddy. He loves other dogs and seems to get a bit bored by himself (even though we walk him almost everyday). For those of you who have a second (or third) dog, how was the experience? And what breed did you get?
Thanks!!
****for reference our guy is only 10 months, so this won’t be something we act on until he gets a bit older. Just wanted to put some “feelers” out there as this isn’t a decision we take lightly!!!
I’ve ways played with her like this, but she’s starting to bite down just a tad bit harder. . . Is that bad?
What does everyone do to exercise/get their corgi's energy out when the weather is bad? The weather has been pretty bad here lately so we haven't been able to go on as many walks. She gets major cabin fever and takes it out by herding my cat so I'm wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how they take out their corgi's energy. I usually try playing tug and retrieve with her but that only lasts so long before she's bored and demands a walk or resorts to tormenting the cat.
