Hi Missy....welcome to Chazhound...it's so nice to have you here. I am a Corgi owner!!
I have an almost three year old PWC named Chloe. She is sable. She's a great dog and I really enjoy her. She had a litter of 6 puppies last October and that was such great fun!!! Keep us posted when you get your Corgi. Feel free to ask me any questions. There are a few other Corgi owners in here as well.

She eats once at night and once in the morning, at her own will. I know other people might have schedules, but I think it comes down to what works for your dog individually. I feed Peanut Nutro and Im still trying to convince my mom to swith to Innova Evo.
Welcome! I am relatively new here as well but have found this site very informative. I am also a corgi lover and owned my last one for 15 years. (He is in my siggy). He was one of the best dogs I ever owned-very smart, easy to train, and very loyal. Corgis do tend to be very independant though and can be incredibly stubborn so you want to start their training the minute you get them as puppies and also socialize them really well so that they become good little doggie citizens. They also tend towards chubbiness so you do have to watch their food intake and make sure they get plenty of exercise. SOme day when I have lots of time on my hands again I will get another one but right now I will just enjoy my other two boys and keep Penquin's memory alive. Can't wait to see the pics of your new kid.

Yes...everything that Penquin says is true....Corgi's are are extremely strong willed. They are the most loving, loyal dogs though and ohhhhh soooo smart!!! They're such little clowns. As Nedim said...be prepared to give lot's of belly rubs...we call it "tummy scratchin time" at our house. LOL I feed Chloe and my Dachshund, Jack, Exclusive but am wanting to change to Innova EVO. Corgi's do tend to get chubby so this can add problems for them because of their short little legs and long backs. It's good to keep them at a healthy weight and give them lot's of exercize. You'll really enjoy your Corgi.

if you don't mind can you tell me how much you feed your dog? do you mix wet and dry or just give dry?
my breeder gives only dry free standing food, I know they tend to pack on some weight so I really don't want to do that.
Thanks again everyone for such a wonderful welcome, can't wait to get my Corgi and show her off to you!!
