‘They say the next big thing is here, but to me it seems quite clear, that it’s all just a little bit of history repeating….’
After looking into a couple of other breeds, it became clear it had to be another corgi. They get under your skin & after all we were initially going to breed a litter to take one back, before deciding against it.
We discredited the idea of a dog this year and planned to seriously look next year. Then via one of the corgi people (I have said before they are like the mafia in terms of being ‘connected’…no wonder I found it so hard to find a good one first time round as a newcomer!) I heard of a litter with essentially the same breeding behind the bitch line to madam. And a super sire too who isn’t a huge overdone dog and actually has legs - a trend missing in certain corgi males (with some royal ancestors for any of you monarchists out there)
So, meet the Sherman tank’s apprentice. He is rather charming. The litter was super and very even, there wasn’t much between any of them. Some were perhaps flashier marked then him, but I don’t like too much white, and he was tailed whereas some were natural bobs. He won on temperament as was lovely and quiet, and slept on me when we first met them a few weeks ago.
I am sure he will decline all invitations to join in world domination related antics when he comes home in a few weeks time. At this stage I am not convinced he isn’t a Labrador spy, disguised in appropriate attire, sent to infiltrate the Pembroke corgi domain.
