My sister and brother in law said several months ago that they wanted a
Welsh Corgi. One 8 month old ***** became available on Austin.forsale a
few days ago, and the description looked promising. Plus, I personally
prefer to adopt adult dogs for a number of reasons. It basically makes
them "rescues". <G>
Thing is, I already have 6 dogs and don't really need another! I
e-mailed the kids and asked them if they were interested and they gave
me an enthusiastic "yes"!!!
Welsh Corgi's are really cool dogs. I got her today and she is
everything wonderful I've ever read about them. Housebroken but
otherwise pretty much untrained, but she is "getting" things very
quickly using a lot of petting and a few food rewards.
Damn she is smart!
And ohhhh such a love. A floppy, cuddly little face licker.
She will be vetted on Monday and a spay appointment set up.
According to her person, she was pretty much being neglected where she
was and with her lack of training, I have to agree.
Here's a pic of "Chelsea". The kids will be picking her up the end of
next month so I have that long to give her basic training.

With her loving personality, I think she'll be ideal for the nephews and
active enough to play with the boys. One Nephew is 3 1/2 and the other
is a bit young yet at 8 months, but this dog is anything but aggressive!
She even likes the cats.
Now I just have to keep myself and the housemate from getting too
attached to her. <G> The LAST thing I need is a 7th dog! But, she is
really very personable and easy to love...
Cheers!
