I thought the only major risk with collars was if your dog escaped it could possibly get caught and strangle them?

Frank is adorable, how exciting!

This only takes into account UK litters, not worldwide. The corgi is definitely not losing popularity in America.

thanks Mim :D I don't mind grooming and am prepared for the risk of lots of shedding, with 3 cats it becomes a daily lifestyle and I doubt a corgi will make as much as 3 cats (maybe lol) We really look forward to the day we bring Waffles home, we were lucky to be allowed to visit the puppies at 4 weeks and it was great to meet the mum and play with all the other corgis :) Absolutely adored all of their temperaments. There was actually 2 fluffy boys so we had to pick one, Waffles is supposed to be a red but he might actually be sable, time will tell however :) here is a slightly better picture, sorry they are a bit dodgy as we took them on a phone and they were fidgets :)

5 more weeks to go! This is our little boy we are naming Waffles :) He is 4 weeks today. These next few weeks will be a long wait.

Puppies born 4th, I have a littly fluffy boy :) exciting. Only 6 more weeks!

Definitely would edit the age in larger breeds to double digits. Would be nice to see them get to 15-18 like the smaller breeds.

Publication : Immunogenicity of an Intranasally Administered Modified Live Canine Parvovirus Type 2b Vaccine in Pups with Maternally Derived Antibodies Date: 12 October 2005 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1247831/ ABSTRACT: The ability of a modified live canine parvovirus type 2b vaccine to elicit active immunization in pups with maternally derived antibodies (MDA) by intranasal administration was evaluated. The vaccine induced seroconversion in 100% of pups with MDA titers of ≤80 and in 51.6% of pups with titers between 160 and 320. Publication : Canine Parvovirus (CPV) Type 2b Vaccine Protects puppies with Maternal Antibodies to CPV when Challenged with Virulent CPV-2c Virus Date: 2012 http://www.jarvm.com/articles/Vol10Iss3/Vol10%20Iss3%20Ng.pdf ABSTRACT:This study was conducted to evaluate canine parvovirus disease prevention efficancy of the minimum immunizing dose of the CPV-2b fraction of a multivalent vaccine when administered at approximately 6 weeks of age to pups with maternal CPV-2b antibodies. A second dose was administered 4 weeks later. Pups were challenged with a virulent strain of CPV-2c virus 2 months after the second vaccination. Efficacy was evaluated by monitoring the pups for various clinical observations and laboratory testing of parvovirus infection, including mucous stool, bloody stool, diarrhea, fever, death, leukope-nia, lymphopenia, CPV-2b serum neutralization titer, and detection of CPV in the feces. Upon a severe challenge with a virulent CPV-2c virus, four of five (80%) control pups had at least three of four clinical signs of CPV infection while 19 of 20 (95%) vaccinated pups had not more than one sign of CPV infection. The response of the control pups confirmed the virulence of the challenge and validity of the study. The response of the vaccinated pups demonstrated the efficacy of the CPV-2b vaccine, even in puppies with maternal antibody, which was one of the main objectives of this study. The outcome of this study was consistent with the 9CFR requirements necessary to support an additional label claim that the vaccine aids in the prevention of disease caused by CPV-2c when administered to puppies as young as 6 weeks of age with maternal CPV antibodies.

Hi all, I am on the waiting list for a corgi boy. Hopefully there will be a pup for me in an upcoming October litter, but we will see :) Fingers crossed!

My condolences. What an incredibly unfortunate outcome for all

I bought this dvd years ago, I would say it is very in depth and an excellent dvd for crate training and introduction - http://www.clickerdogs.com/crate_games.php
