I guess I will have to spend more time researching their temperaments, how well they are with other pets (I also have small parrots at home) etc. Anyone goes to a dog forum? any recommendation as to which forum is good?

dreamer_dachsie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,579 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 12/16/2007	Corgis are awesome, we considered them when we were looking into dog breeds. Some things to know about them: they are a hearding breed, which means that despite their small size they are a a working dog and require a lot of mental stimulation and excercise to stay happy and health. Also, like other breeds with long backs and short legs (my beloved dachshunds included) they are prone to back problems. IMHO, the best solution to this is to spent a lot of time researching breeders to ensure you are selecting a conscientious breeder who has never had back problems in his/her blood lines. They do exist, but you gotta look around. Many, or even most, breeders are not so careful in their breeding programs. Check out www.akc.org for lots of good information and links to breed club websites. * Dreamer *

SailorsSweet<3 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 712 Last Post: 4/8/2009 Member Since: 9/10/2008	lovegem - I have one sitting at the end of my bed right now!! I bought her for my SO so I did lots of research on the breed, let me know if you have any questions. Heres some background - They're are two different kinds of corgi - Pembroke Welsh Corgi (which is what Cheyenne is) and Cardigan Welsh Corgis. The English Royal family has always had corgis and they're in lots of pictures with them. I suppose thats where the Welsh name ties in. The Pembrokes have shorter hair and their tails are docked when they're puppies. The Cardigans have longer hair and normal length tails. The get to about 2' long and mid calf height, but Cheyenne is a little runty so she's half that size. They come in a Red color, like Cheyenne, and a tri-color which is black, red, and white. The % of colors in both types can vary drastically so you could get a red corgi thats mostly red or a tri thats mostly black, all depends on the parents. They're inherently herding dogs, and its obvious that Cheyenne has that in her blood. She loves playing "chase". As long as someone is willing to pretend to run after her she'll do figure 8's around the spot her "chaser" is standing. Its adorable to watch. This also effects her behavior with small animals- she chases ground hogs and squirrels and likes to try and chase my cats but they put her in her place. She doesnt try to jump or bite at the cats in any way. She was easy to house train and understands discipline, she wont try something again if she got yelled at for doing it the first time. Shes very sweet - she is mouthy but we taught her "no bites" right away and now she just likes sucking on our fingers. She does bark - so if you're looking for a quieter dog she wont fit that bill. I wouldnt say shes as barky as smaller yappy dogs but she likes being heard. She learned how to swim this summer and she goes down the pool steps on her own now to take small cool down laps, she also loves the beach. She's not a mushy dog during the day but she loves cuddling in bed at night. She's extremely adventurous, loves being outside, loves meeting new dogs, and shes a big tom boy - she'll roll around in the dirt any day. I posted some more pics of her and my dal on the pets forum - pg7 http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=89029&pageNo=7 for the rest of my life I will search for moments full of you ♥

Loves Vintage Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,422 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 11/19/2007	My friend at work had two, and her brother and sister-in-law breed them for shows. My co-worker was doggie-sitting for her other sister, who has an 11 year old Corgi. I went over to meet her, and she is just the sweetest little dog!! I'd look for a Corgi-specific forum if you want to ask questions from other owners. I also highly recommend checking petfinder.com when you start to seriously look. I'm sure there are Corgi-specific resuces out there, if you decided to go that route. Good luck searching for your doggie!!

lovegem Cut Rock Total Posts: 387 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/26/2007	Thanks Adi, Dfan, Lorelei, Irishgal, elrohwen, dreamer, SailorsSweet and SDL for your reply. SailorSweet, your dog is very cute. I love the look of the Corgis. Their muscular body appear fat, and I love their short legs. Dreamer_dachsie, I have also considered the dachshunds, but I was a little put off when I learned that they like to chase other small animals. I have small parrots that like to fly to me and land on the sofa, bed and hide in the blankets. I am still waiting for my parrots to reunite with me (my heart aches when I think of them). Anyway, that's another story. How often do these dogs have back problems? Are they genetic issues or more of an age issue? How to prevent back problems other than a lean body? Is this kind of info available if I get a dog from a rescue center? I have not been able to find a Corgi forum. Maybe I will try to dig up a dachshund forum, since like corgi, they also have long back and short legs. I plan to get a dog from one of the rescue centers because I really think they deserve a good family, although I really prefer to raise a dog from the very young age. I just couldn't get over the thought that if I have an older dog, my time with him/her would be limited. I would be very sad to see him/her pass away in such a short time. Purely emotional problem on my part.

AGBF Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,048 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/26/2003	I knew that! I knew that! I recognized the breed and that it was type of dog Queen Elizabeth kept as soon as I saw the picture. My memory being what it is, I couldn't think of the name, however! So after a few frustrating seconds, I just scrolled down and refreshed my memory! A friend's son used to have one. I remember lying on a couch in her home and the corgi jumping on my head. Come to think of it, my current cocker spaniel might do that now. Little dogs just don't have the dignity of the larger breeds! ;-) Deborah A Girl's Best Friend

Decodelighted, did you choose a dog that didn't "like" to chase your cats at the end? what type of dog would not want to do that? please advice. Your dog is so cute. Please tell me what kind of dog is that.

I just couldn't get over the thought that if I have an older dog, my time with him/her would be limited. I would be very sad to see him/her pass away in such a short time. Purely emotional problem on my part. I think getting your dog from rescue is a wonderful idea, but I do think it will be harder to find a pure-bred corgi or Dachshund at the pound, since reputable breeders monitor where their dogs end up and they are less likely to end up in resue, and also since these dogs cost $800 - $1600 bucks when well bred, and most people don't throw that kind of money around and they drop them in rescue. That said, obviously less-than-stellar breeders don't care what happens to their dogs and these lovely breeds do unfortunately end up in rescue. If you really want one of these breeds, all of the national breed-clubs (for the pembroke: http://www.pembrokecorgi.org/; for the cardigan: http://www.cardigancorgis.com/; for dachshunds: http://www.dachshund-dca.org/) have national rescue organizations specific to their breeds. Breed loving volunteers will foster abandoned or abused dogs and find them homes, and if you qualify they can connect you with a pure bred dog in need of a home. Each of the websites I listed above include rescue information on the menus on the left of the screen. Our breeder does rescue sometimes and the dogs are usually very lovely and well behaved and were unlucky to end up with terrible owners! As for chasing animals, yup... my dogs would try to chase your bird... Sorry!! I think you need to stay away from ANY of the dogs bred to track or hunt. That's all the hound breeds and most of the sporting breeds and NO TERRIERS!! All of those breeds will go after prey, hounds will just chase it and corner it and bark, but terriers will actually kill and eat small prey. My dogs saw an injured bird in the backyard and went after it like you wouldn't believe! They didn't eat it, but they bit at it and chased it around until I caught them and called them off. I think a dog like Deco's Papillon or maybe a cavalier king charles spaniel would be good breeds for you if you want a smaller dog that can live easily with a bird, but in the end you will need to train the dog not to go after the bird. But avoiding the hunting breeds will at least mean you aren't working against their nature! Here is the rescue link for the national Cavalier King charles Spaniel club http://ackcsc.org/rescue.htm, and here is the rescue site for Papillons http://www.papillonclub.org/rescue/. Peruse both sites and you will see lots of information about the breeds and their temperament. The national breed club sites are great because breed afficionados do not want people adopting their beloved breed unless they know what they are getting into, so there is usually lots of information about temperament etc etc on their sites too. As for back problems, keeping your long-backed dog physically fit and especially keeping him/her trim is probably all you can really do. The prime age for debilitating back problems to show up is 2 -4 years old, which is why I think it is a genetic thing not always an age thing. In older age, most of these breeds get arthritis or stiff backs, but that is different than the types of issues that arise when they are young. In general, the stat for dachshunds is 1 in 4, but Dachshunds are a very popular breed and thus there are more disreputable breeders out there than you can count. As I mentioned, our breeder has never had any back problems in any dog she has ever bred, and that is because she watches her lines carefully and doesn't breed dogs with weak backs (and she doesn't breed into lines unless she knows there are no back issues). Her dogs, and ours, jump off couches, go up and down stairs, and generally do what they like and (knock wood) hers are all fine and ours are fine at 3 years old. But this is probably all moot since Dachsies would chase your parrot, and we can't have that! Let me know if you have any other questions! * Dreamer *
