Arkansas Corgis

December 1st - ArkansasCorgis.com
Traveled to Little Rock and Memphis areas this weekend. Four families got Pembroke Welsh Corgis. Three of them already had Pembroke Welsh Corgis bred by us, and some were 12 and 13 years ago.

One person drove 11 hours from Durham, North Carolina to get another Corgi from us. She loves her 35 lb 1 year old boy, and said all other Corgis are TOO TINY. She said her boy was bigger, and much longer than other Corgis. Now her Corgi has his own Corgi pup, and right away was curious and wanting to play.

This coming weekend a lady in Fayetteville gets her Corgi, then the oldest litter is all gone. She traveled nearly 4 hours to pick him out in person.

The October 20th Corgis are being weaned from mom over the next 2 weeks. Their ears are taped up this week, so by the weekend hope to get some great photos with ears up. Those all have homes waiting for December 13th.

The October 28th Corgis are waiting for DNA results, 4 have homes waiting, and other 4 are on our website: ArkansasCorgis.com

Around December 7th: "Hello, I'm Dolly" will have her first litter of Pembroke Welsh Corgis. I bred these Corgis for myself, because there's 25% chance of finding an IVDD Clear in the litter. I hope to find a boy, so he can go with my two IVDD Clear girls.

Sorry, no photos today. I know, most Corgi breeders do nothing but show photos. Any fool can look at a photo. A photo is all fools care about. "Pretty puppy, I gotta have it."

I prefer my Corgis going to homes where people can read and take the time to read. I prefer people who educate themselves about the breed, then make their decisions. That's the people I want to own my Corgis. I don't want to win over simple minded fools. My Corgis deserve the best people.

Corgi 13 Years Ago - ArkansasCorgis.com
"Thirteen years ago, I got a corgi puppy from you. Her parents were Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty and she was born in May 2012. She was the smallest of her litter and you had described her as likely being smart due to the way she fed, lol."

I named her Tilly and you were right, she was the smartest dog! The first night she was home, she learned the sit command. Shortly after she was home, I began in the veterinary medicine field as a vet assistant. A large part of my love of veterinary medicine was thanks to Tilly and wanting to give her the best care.

Over 13 years, Tilly made an impact on so many people. My coworkers would never believe me that Tilly was the sweetest dog since Corgis are notoriously jerks at the Vet. As soon as coworkers met her, they would be shocked at how sweet and friendly she was. I would alway tell people that as much as I trained with her, her personality was in big part thanks to your breeding. She was such a well behaved dog that she helped many people get their externship tasks done for both RVTs and DVMs.

Tilly loved playing tug so much that I ended up doing schutzhund (bite work) with her for a year. She put all the German Shepherds and Malinois to shame! We only stopped because we moved to California in 2016 and began doing recreational agility.

This is all to say thank you. You made such a difference in my life just through one little Corgi puppy. I likely won't be getting another Corgi in the future for several reason, but a big part is that I truly don't think there will be another Corgi as perfect as Tilly. But I already know that if I do, Arkansas Corgis will be the first (and probably only!) breeder I contact.

Thank you a million times over. Tilly was my best friend and will forever be my one and only soul dog. Arkansas Corgis will always be close to my heart. Best wishes, E. DeSoto"

NOTE: All Tri-Colored Pembroke Welsh Corgis are born with Black Heads. If they also have 1 Saddle Raly gene, their head becomes part red as they mature. If they have 2 Saddle Raly genes, their entire head and legs become red as they mature. That leaves only a black back (saddle)

1946 Bigger Corgis Are Better - ArkansasCorgis.com
In 1946 Thelma Gray the breeder that gave Queen Elizabeth her first two Pembroke Welsh Corgis did an interview. The breeder explained how Pembroke Welsh Corgis were bigger and better in the 1920s.

"We had better and heavier b***d Corgis in the pioneer days. The present day tendency for lighter bone could be prevented, if breeders would use dogs with good thick legs and feed a quality diet.

In the old days large and medium sized Corgis outnumbered the small ones. Small light b***d Corgis were rare. The dangerous tendency of decreasing size began around the same time as the war.

It is well known that inbreeding tends to decrease size. The lovers of the old type larger and medium Corgis have warned against the smaller sizes of today. Therefore, awards are not given to the smaller sized Corgis at shows.

We rarely saw small ears in the pioneer days, but see far too many now. Small ears will always stand erect, but small pussycat ears are very undesirable.

Today we have a limited number of really superb heads. There's an alarming number of small heads instead. Small heads are very untypical and ugly.

We have more medium length bodies today, but some are too short. Very few Corgis are too long.

Using the dog down the road to breed because he is near will never give us perfect Corgis, or even close imitations. Let us go forward together, all with one aim, better Corgis."

Bigger Is Better - Teekay Kennel: ArkansasCorgis.com
Teekay Kennel bred Pembroke Welsh Corgis in the 1940s and 1950s and was owned by Anne G. Biddlecomb. Here's a quote from 1954 by Anne G. Biddlecombe:

"With size we have gained considerably in both type and temperament. I don't know why it should be so, but taken all round the bigger type of Corgi seems more even tempered than his smaller brother. The nervous, yappy puppy, of my experience, has nearly always been a little light, undersized one."

TEEKAY CORGIS - 1940s & 1950s BIGGER IS BETTER: ArkansasCorgis.com
Here's a quote by Anne G. Biddlecombe of Teekay Corgis in 1954. Anne bred Pembroke Welsh Corgis in the 1940s and 1950s. Anne had a dislike for undersized Corgis below 25-27 lbs. Photo is some of her Champion Corgis in 1948.

"With size we have gained considerably in both type and temperament. I don't know why it should be so, but taken all round the bigger type of Corgi seems more even tempered than his smaller brother. The nervous, yappy puppy, of my experience, has nearly always been a little light, undersized one." - Anne G. Biddlecombe of Teekay Corgis.

BOWHIT KENNEL 1926 to 1947 - ArkansasCorgis.com
Sid and Nellie Bowler were the owners of Bowhit Kennel. They lived in Haverfordwest Wales. The same town where the 1st Corgi Club in the world was founded in 1925 for Pembroke Welsh Corgis and they became members. This was 10 years before a Pembroke ever entered the United States.

The Bowler's most famous Pembroke Welsh Corgi was Bowhit Pepper born October 16, 1926. Pepper is the top dog in the 2nd photo. Pepper is the Grandpa of the 1st AKC Champion Pembroke Welsh Corgi. One of his daughters was the mother of that 1st AKC Champion.

The father of that 1st AKC Champion was the same male that fathered Queen Elizabeth's first Corgi in 1933 and her second. He is listed in our pedigrees.

Bowhit Bisco is the bottom dog in the second photo. Bowhit Bisco became the first Pembroke Welsh Corgi in New Zealand.
