Look what I got!! - Page 1

Glasshouse Demolition Man, aka Gizmo (Ch. Coedwig's Alchemist x Ch. CardiRidge GH Blonde Moments HT, ROMb) came home with me a few weeks ago to join my GSD.  I've been on a Cardigan Welsh Corgi search for almost 2yrs and finally found my first Cardi at Glasshouse kennels.  We will be doing show stuff when he gets of age and maybe do some tracking with that crazy nose of his!  Here are a few pics.

I've never liked small breeds but i must confess, this welsh corgi is so beautiful, colourfull, cute n new. My wife'll definately love it.

What a cute little puppy!  He has beautiful colors!

Cool looking dog. I've heard their ears help you pick up extra channels on tv.

Congrats!  He's adorable

 He is adorable.  They are a herding breed as well, that's why alot of GSD people have
 Corgis.  I use to raise Pembrokes, good lil dogs.  Have fun with  him.

wow...adorable...love the sleeping photo.

 I,m not into little dogs but Damn he is cute... Nice puppy.

He's adorable!

The cardi is actually a big dog with short legs. Here's a bit of info on the breed from Cheysuli Kennels in Arizona:

But the Cardigan is also a larger, longer, heavier dog [than the Pembroke.] Typical weights in males range from 34 to 40 pounds, while females usually average 28-30 pounds. Cardigans have relatively large, round feet and dense bone for their stature, and substantial heads are crowned by remarkably large, erect ears. 

 One of the outstanding features of the breed is his delightful personality. A big dog in a short-legged package, the Cardigan is an alert, sensible, and courageous dog willing to stand down challenges from animals much larger than he, and to protect his beloved family from all dangers. He is keenly intelligent, precocious, and quick-thinking, a dog who loves to learn. Superbly versatile in mind and body, the Cardigan is a highly trainable, surprisingly fast and nimble dog well-suited to performance events, and an affectionate, fun-loving housepet with a wonderful sense of humor. Unsurpassed in his devotion to family, the Cardigan may initially be wary of strangers. He does not do well as a "kennel" or "backyard-only" dog, and should always be included as an integral part of the family. His intelligence and almost human-like empathy make him an outstanding therapy, service, and Search and Rescue dog. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is an all-around dog who is willing to, and can do, anything asked of him.

SHEDDING: The Cardigan is a shedding breed with a double coat very like a German Shepherd's. There are two major seasonal shedding periods, but some shedding occurs throughout the year, especially in hot climates. Cardigans are not recommended for families where allergies or loose hair are significant concerns. 

Well, we're used to that, at least! LOL! They actually look a bit like a short-legged GSD with white markings. Hmmm....maybe THAT'S where the Pandas came from!
