I also had the opportunity to show this beautiful Special for a friend. We placed as Select all four days.

Kevyn and I spent the last four days at an agility trial. She had some fantastic runs and some that definitely need some work! This was her Excellent Standard yesterday which would have been clean except she had a refusal at the table. The courses were beautiful but my girl just needs a bit more confidence. She moved from Novice to Intermediate to Excellent VERY fast - in about four weekends which is insanely fast, so now we know what we need to work on.

It’s just not about putting two dogs together to make puppies. It really isn’t. We make sure we check every single box on this chart, and, we still actively look for reasons NOT to breed our dog. If we really can’t come up with any (noting there is no such thing as a perfect dog), we then look for a sire and go through the entire process of evaluating whether we should, on paper, but then we also have to look at his structure and temperament and determine if it’s the right match for our b***h.

We spend hundreds of hours reading and learning pedigrees, connecting with other breeders, and trying to do our breed justice.

And then, sometimes crap happens. We lose a litter. We LOSE OUR B***H. The breeding doesn’t take. The genetics go wonky. And then we spend 12 WEEKS raising the puppies 24/7, all while assessing applications, vetting new homes, socializing and training the puppies, and monitoring our b***h for things that can STILL K!LL her weeks after birth.

It’s not easy. It’s not for the faint of heart. It’s not for those without a moral compass. And it’s why I can never support a byb. I don’t care how cute their puppies are. They’ve done zero work and take zero accountability down the road. Full stop.

Yesterday I introduced Howard to the beach! He thought this swimming thing was pretty neat but wasn’t totally sold on letting his feet off the bottom!

I took a couple happy doggos to the park today and took advantage of its childless state!

Howard had his last intro to barn hunt class last night. He’ll do well with a better handler 😂.

Kevyn’s Grand Championship photo!

Howard’s Best of Breed photo. Yes, he beat his mother 🫢.

06/22/2024

She’s always been GRAND in my eyes but pending CKC confirmation, she is now:

GCh. Corgitail’s Crazy Little Thing Called Love, AGNS AGNJS CGN HTs JTS CA SX VE SHD ETD NPS

I am so grateful to everyone who has shown her to date - Arianna Penner who put her first BOB on Kevyn at her first show when Arianna was only 12 years old, her mom Courtney L Penner who took both Kevyn and I under her wing and showed us the ways of the dog show world, Jennifer Todd who has laid claim to Kevyn and Howard when I die (she’s thinking ahead apparently!), Katie Fraser and yes, I put some points on her too!

To the greater Pem community for their support - Tara Wilkie, Tai Copperthwaite, Juliana du Pree, and her breeder, Vicky Fontaine.

Now we chase the Bronze! My girl just gives everything her all in everything she does - conformation, barn hunt, agility, sprinters, chase ability, scent hurdle, herding…thank you to her dog sport friends Melissa Mikl, Churmy Fan, Jill V Miller, Amie Barnes, Jessica Lyn Atamanenko, and Kim Boyes because conformation has always been the WHOLE dog in my mind! Also - remember you’re in the presence of greatness now 😂.

Formal pic to come later!

If I’ve missed anyone I’m so sorry - there are so many people who supported us!

Flashback to her very first win with Arianna!

Howard is honing his urban locate skills but I don’t know if he realizes that the Dachshunds are probably better at it than he is. The Dachshunds probably think Howard is the gerbil 😂.

Also, I don’t think they’re missing me 😆. They love their aunty and her wiener dogs.

Kevyn gets more (and better) mail than I do.

*** ANNOUNCEMENT ***

Hi friends and family of Cydweli Corgis!

I am posting today to let you all know that I will not have puppies for the foreseeable future. I am revamping my breeding program and bloodlines and I have suspended my planned fall litter.

If you are interested in a puppy this year, please contact Juliana du Pree of Curig Corgis as she is the only breeder I know of and can recommend who has litters planned. She is aware I am passing you all to her! (Note - tails are always docked so if you are set on a tail message me for some other options.)

I will continue to post the shenanigans of Kevyn and Howard and their barnyard friends Jill and Kaya, and invite you to continue following us along!

ALSO - continue to follow along so you can watch our new girl arrive and follow her progress into a show dog and possible breeding b***h, pending evaluation of her structure and health tests! We wish puppies would fall from the sky right when we want them but the reality is it takes time to build a solid, ethical program. Not every dog makes the cut and meets our strict criteria which results in having to start over.

Rest assured - I do not place my dogs when they are no longer being used for breeding. I understand why many breeders do but I do not. Kevyn is a trained service dog and will be with me for life. Howard was never intended as a breeding dog. He just kinda stole my heart so I kept him.

We will be back with puppies one day, phenomenal bloodlines we will be exceptionally proud of, and an ethical breeding program that you can trust in.

Thank you!

How exciting!! Howard has earned his CKC Versatility Novice title!!

That’s title number FIVE for this 14-month old boy!

Kevyn and I are having an impromptu retreat in Red Deer. She’s proof-reading my paper for school for me. What a good girl!

06/06/2024

Howard is learning to barn hunt too! This is him on his fourth class tonight hunting for gerbils.

06/01/2024

Kev says “Paint me like one of your French girls”.

I have a very tired and exhausted girl. 14 agility runs this weekend and four conformation shows.

🌟🌟🌟KEVYN’S BIGGEST WIN EVER IN CONFORMATION!!🌟🌟🌟

Best of Opposite S*x in a VERY competitive line-up of 13 Pembrokes!!

Huge thanks to her handler Jennifer!!!!

05/26/2024

There is a professional photographer at most dog events. I have to look thru over 60 pictures of my dogs from last weekend to figure out which ones to buy but these are a couple of my favourites!

05/24/2024

A weekend of Sprinters actually tired Howard out, but sadly not for long 😂

05/19/2024

Howard also attended his first Sprinters trial and earned his Novice Sprinter title and his Sprinter title! Way to go, Howard!!

Not to be outdone, Kevyn earned her Sprinter Excellent title!

That’s four titles earned across three dogs in one short weekend. So proud of these dogs!

05/19/2024

Butters came down from Edmonton this weekend and had a fabulous time, earning her first CKC title in Novice Sprinters!! Amazing job, Jessica and Butters!!

05/18/2024

05/18/2024

We are going to have some very tired pups on Monday. Kevyn’s female Butters came down from Edmonton for her first Sprinters trial. They each have 12 runs all weekend. Howard and Butters need to give me some of their energy!

05/16/2024

Kevyn had her first barn hunt class last night since September. This girl doesn’t forget a thing and she was pretty happy to be back with the gerbils!

Kevyn and Howard being reunited after almost two weeks apart. ❤️

Kevyn likes pickles. What a weirdo.

Cato board

The dogs’ favourite game is the race to the Cato board. Howard has some catching up to do in the learning department.

Howard graduated from grade one agility today. This is his first course ever. Nine months old now.

Howard

I don’t know what he’s digging for but whatever makes him happy.

Kevyn has levelled up - Gerbil 2.0

Park time!

Doggos love the park!

Barn Hunt

Kevyn and Howard are at their first barn hunt trial this weekend. I had done a huge long post that didn’t save 😡 so I’ll come back and rewrite it when I have time! Here’s the abbreviated version of the sport: Kevyn and Howard tried a new sport this weekend. In the ring they have to do the straw tunnel, a “climb” (on top of the straw), and then somewhere in the ring there is a gerbil hidden that they have to find. There are three tubes - one is empty, one has used gerbil litter, and one has the actual gerbil. When your dog finds it you call “rat” (every other province uses rats). If the dog is right you get a qualifying score. If the dog is wrong you are eliminated. And you don’t know where the gerbil is either so you have to trust your dog. Kevyn found it within seconds in 8/9 runs after only four one-hour group lessons. Howard found it one time out of three in a “baby run” where the tubes aren’t hidden. A super fun sport that really engages the dog’s natural hunting and sniffing abilities!
