Pup-date!

[bckrazy]

Or... puppy update, in English. ;) We have for sure reserved the blue girl! The brindle merle female is stunning, but I really have wanted a blue. As long as she's tempermentally right for us, we're getting her! Gahh look at that face ;*

I sadly can't go up there on spring break to visit... too much to do. I have to wait until May 19th. My sister lives 20 minutes away and her Dad is bringing her over next week, so she promised to get pics! I've been thinking of show names.... and me and my friend Grace really like Pawcific Blue Orchid. It's a White Stripes song, and I'm a rabid White Stripes fan :D plus, it fits her. I really have to know her personality and meet her first, but suggestions are welcome!!!

The breeder sent me other pics of the parents. I attached my faves! If you know Cardi's, you'd notice that hannndsome Wookie (dad) is brindle, and under the breed club they've recently reinstated the recommendation of NOT breeding brindles and merles... because it produces non-accepted colors like brindle merle. But, this breeder really wants a great dog that can work AND is structurally sound than pretty colors, which I like ;)

I didn't know you were getting a corgi, congrats! What a sweeite. Sounds like a good breeder. :) She stole my suit LOL.

[lv4dogs]

What a doll! I hope she works out for you. Love the name too!

[zoomer]

My dream dog used to be a Cardigan :) I love their colours. The parents look really well trained, you are going to get a very nice puppy there! I did not know you were getting a Corgi though... did you tell us? He is one beautiful puppy. Good luck and I hope everything works out!

[lute]

oh what a cutie!!! :D both parents are VERY stunning! are you going to do hearding with her?

[bckrazy]

thanks, everybody! The breeder is so incredibly nice, I talked to her today about raw feeding. I did post about getting a pup in a thread about a week ago :D this was just to show off her smecksi Mom and Dad.

Wolfsoul, LOL. Yeah, both of you are obviously the most fashionable handlers in the ring ;). I really can't believe I'm actually getting a puppy from a REAL good breeder, this is my first puppy from a breeder in my life, it's really exciting! I can't wait to see your little Belgie pups, too ^_^ ahhh cuteness

Lute, definitely! I'm for sure enrolling her in a really, really good puppy OB class when she's 14 weeks and starting Flyball prepping (no jumps for over a year, of course...). I'd love to do Flyball and put at least a PT herding title on her, if she likes it. I'd like to get her in puppy Agility and Tracking to see if she's into that, too.

What a cutie pie!! She is going to be so much fun. Her parents are gorgeous too! I like the show name you have picked out- have any ideas about her everyday name?

[Toby's my baby]

She is adorable!!! Her parents are stunning! :eek: :D Congrats again! ;)

[flamepony12]

Um, Erica, I didn't even know you were getting one! :eek:

He's so ccuuutteee! :D Congratulations! :D

[offtopic]*cough* PM on TFF. heh. xD

[BC_MoM]

Sooo cute! I'm so excited for you! :) Does this breeder not dock tails?

[bckrazy]

He's so ccuuutteee! :D Congratulations! :D


*ahem* SHE takes offense to that! hehe. Thanks, Devon! ;) You should come up this summer to meet her!, and Sophie and her pups.

aw, thank you BCmom. I can't wait to see what color of eyes she has and see how her coloring turns out. Cardi's are never docked, which is one of the reasons I wanted a Cardi over a Pembroke :)

[flamepony12]

Uh Ohhh. Sorry Erica, and to you, Little Girl :o

That'd be so awesome. ^___^ I'll see if I can talk my parents into it, heheh.

YES YES YES YESSSS!!!!! I have a friend with a Pembroke (which is ironic because she likes the docked tails :p) and you might've seen his picture in my earlier thread. His name is Cobie:

We need a huge Nor Cal party thrown in honor of you new Corgi puppy!!! :D I can't *wait* to meet that gorgeous little girl!!!! By the way, I love her reg'd name and the story behind it. I looove names with a deeper meaning ;)

[.sarah]

Dad is gorgeous! Can't wait until she grows up more :)

[bckrazy]

We definitely HAVE TO! I have 2 friends with Pembrokes, too! And one of my closest friends has a blue merle bi Cardi boy. I love Pems, but Cardi's seem a bit more mellow and less barky ;0) I'm also not a big believer in aesthetic docking.

Cobie is precious! ^^ We should be able to meet by the time she's about 12 weeks, which will be around the end of June/beginning of July. Gonzo's B-day is at the beginning of July, so I could bring cupcakes or something for the dogs... probably nothing big, but he deserves a little party. I mostly just have to let Gonzo see Giselle - he misses his beautiful girly!!

Thanks, about the show name! I wanted it to have something to do with the Mom and Dad's show names... but, they're hard to play off of (On Point & Earth Spirit...???). It'll have something to do with some song that I like, for sure.

[nicanc724]

cute puppy!!!!!!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

OMG!! The pup is adorable. I can't wait to see more pics :D

[Giselle]

I haven't met a Cardi before, so your pup will be my first! Cobie's owner doesn't like docking and she *hates* cropping, but Cobie was originally supposed to be a show dog. His breeder sold him when he didn't turn out, so that's why he's docked :p

So many summer birthdays! Lucky's birthday is June 2, but that will have long passed by the time your girl is old enough to socialize. No worries! I just want to see gorgeous Gonzo again and meet his little sister.

The first thing that came to mind with the name was that Earth, Fire, and Wind song. Haha! I'm not sure if you like that song, though :p

[BC_MoM]

Cardi's are never docked, which is one of the reasons I wanted a Cardi over a Pembroke :)

I never knew that! I guess we DO learn something everyday! :D

How soon until her eyes open? :D
