I'm adopting a 4 year old female corgi next week and would like to get to know how to be a good corgi parent?

Things that I am worried about:

• she has matted fur, what should i tell the groomers? does she need to have those summer cut?
• shots and checkup. I was told she had her antirabies but needs to be redone with everything else coz her vaccine card is missing. what shots should be done and what needs to be checked by the vet?

Things to note:

I live in a tropical country (philippines) so weather can either be warm, hot, super hot (35-45c), or rainy.

I'm gathering the welcome home necessities:

• dog bed for inside the house
• dog bed for the terrace (which she be running around)
• potty tray and spray
• kibble and treats
• body harness and leash for walks

I JUST bought this bed! 😭 what are we buying??

Working from home this week. How am I meant to get anything done?!

I love how his little face squishes up by how fast he noped away from the Turtle lol

I will never forget the love Reddit showed us that day. IT was so wild we received calls from local news stations to show the video. Whenever my dad went to a dollar general he would ask if they heard of it and pull it up on his phone showing everyone. It was such a fun time. I'm glad he left his little pawprint on the internet <3

old reddit post from 12 years ago.

So I thought I'd give an update on Perrin and where we are after 7 months. Overall, he's been such a great addition to the household. My wife and I have really enjoyed the routine of having a dog at the house and he's got a lovely temperament and is lovely and social. That being said, he isn't without his flaws, like all puppies at this age I guess.

He's finally got all his adult teeth and his baby teeth have all fallen out. However he is still gnawing at hands a lot and snapping at them when we don't give in to him. I'm sure this will fade in time, but maybe I was just hoping once his teeth would come through he would stop. Wishful thinking I guess 😅

Another thing he's started doing is having accidents inside again. I half expected this as he enters the adolescence stage, but yeah, something to keep an eye on.

Not sure if anyone else's corgi does this, but when we go out on a walk in the local forest, Perrin will see a near vertical bank and climb up it and I'm worried one day he'll fall and hurt himself. Now, obviously I could keep him on a lead to avoid this but I was just wondering if anyone else's corgi thinks they're Spiderman?! 

He's also started humping some of his toys. I'm not sure really how to combat this behaviour or how I should handle it, so would love to hear some of your thoughts on this.

Lastly, the one thing that really goes through me is his barking. Granted, I knew going in there would be times he'll bark non-stop, but his bark is so loud! I'm not really looking for any advice on this one, just me venting about his loud bark.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read my post. Here's some photos of his from the last month or so 😁

Kinda feels like he’s showing off.

She needed to be the only dog in the house, I think she is happy being the queen bee already.

It's been a week since our corgi arrived to our home !
She's 10 weeks old ! We made so many progress already !
We had 3 issues to work on :
• She was struggling to calm down after walks ( and because we potty train, we go out a lot, like every two hours.
• She was trying to eat absolutely EVERYTHING from the floor and didn't care when we were trying to redirect her
• Constantly biting everything in our home too !
We try to redirect as much as possible, and we are currently trying to teach her the command " drop ".

She is also a fast learner. She knows to ask when she needs to poop, she know her name/sit/give paw/check. But we are starting to see why people warned us that corgi's ears are mainly decorative 😂😭🐶🦴

If you have any advices for the next weeks...

He promptly got a treat after this photo.

Cheddar seems displeased I’m wearing him on my feet

As ball is life, Fergus loves to swim even when the water starts to get a little chilly. His disgruntled expressions when shaking off the water always crack me up.

I've had her about 4 months. My first corgi.She's 7, a former puppy mill momma, totally adorable and sassy and silly. I love her. My semi low rider in comparison Ernie (basador) also seems to mostly think she's great but is sometimes confused. Any advice I would welcome.

Our free SF dog toothbrushing day on Oct 25 was a wonderful success: 50+ dog parents came by, and we loved seeing the pups practice brushing with the vets. Thanks for the warm response to our earlier post here!

I'm with Canos, and we wanted to share a little thank-you with Bay Area corgi families, too. We'll have a booth at Wags & Wheels this Saturday, Oct 31, 11am–3pm at Little Embarcadero in Fisherman's Wharf (2860 Taylor St). The Halloween event is free to attend, with a dog costume contest, classic cars, and a pet marketplace.

At our booth, we'll have 50 bone-shaped dog poop bag holders for registered dogs, while supplies last (one per email). If you choose a Canos Origin blood test there, you can also use a $200 blood test credit toward the vet's blood-draw fee. Testing is optional and not required for the gift.

Yes it is impossible.
