I WAS SLIGHTLY IMPRESSED:
I was slightly impressed. I found an AKC Pembroke Welsh Corgi breeder doing 4 health tests. I can do 6 Clear and working on 7, but 4 is still better than all the Corgi breeders doing 3 like it's 2010.

I'M LAUGHING:
The Corgi breeder wants five thousand dollars for every puppy, even if you only want a pet! They aren't even Clear for VWD1 blood disease! Plus it's Pembrokes with tails lol! TAILS ON A PEMBROKE LOL!!! 🤣 THAT'S SOME EXPENSIVE TAIL!!! 😂

WOW so I do twice the health testing, but I charge 80% less.

BIRTH WEIGHT:
Saw a Corgi Breeder announcing the birth of Corgi puppies all ranging from 5.5 to 6.5 ounces. That's unhealthy. It's tiny runt size.

That's probably from 2 adults that are 20-25 lbs. That doesn't meet breed standard of 25-28 lb females, or 27-30 lb males.

Our birth weights are 7 to 9 ounces when aiming for ideal medium size show condition.

Our birth weights are 10-12 ounces when aiming for large Corgis, who are capable of herding and jumping 4 foot fences. Like the breed was intended prior to becoming show dogs 100 years ago.

Frankie grew up to be 30 lbs. From the same litter our daughter has Luke Skywalker 27 lbs, and we have Princess Leia 31 lbs. Breed Standard is 26-30 lbs for ideal medium size in athletic condition.

SPAY & NEUTER PEMBROKE WELSH CORGIS:
Remember, studies show that the later it's done the healthier your dog will be from nearly any health issue. After puberty is best, but to avoid heat cycles and accidental pregnancies do it right before puberty.

Puberty in Pembroke Welsh Corgis usually happens at 9-12 months old, so if other dogs are around we recommend spaying/neutering at 8 months. Most Vets will recommend doing it before 6 months old, but only because that's when some smaller breeds enter puberty.

Other health recommendations are making sure a Corgi is not too thin at all ages, nor too fat after reaching 3 years old.

🥳 It's a New Year and Miss Cole of Germantown, Tennessee has reserved her Waitlist Spot for the 1st Pembroke Welsh Corgi of Summer 2024!!! 🥳

She's been talking to us and planning her first Corgi for a long time now. She's making wedding plans, house plans, and Corgi plans. Congrats Miss Cole!

2024 Plans for AKC Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies at ArkansasCorgis.com

No breeding until after March 1st, which means no births until after May 1st, and no Corgis ready for homes until after July 1st. However, they can be reserved now!!!

We'll probably do 2 or 3 litters in the Summer and maybe 2 or 3 in the Fall for a total of 2 to 6 litters during the year.

In 2024 our adult line-up includes 5 males and 7 females. We're capable of breeding the colors of Red, Sable, Redhead Tri-colored, and Blackhead Tri-colored.

Every Corgi puppy we breed is safe from the following 6 issues: DM, VWD1, EIC, PRA, X-SCID, and D Locus. Plus from AKC parents that are also tested as being 100% Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Our Corgis also grow up to meet the breed standards of 26+ lb adults.

Our Corgis also come with pedigrees to the 1920s to show how they are related to the 1st registered Corgi from Pembrokeshire Wales, the father of Queen Elizabeth's 1st Corgi, and even the 1st AKC Champion in the United States.

To get on the Waitlist go to ArkansasCorgis.com

All fall Corgi puppies are now delivered and in their new homes. The last two deliveries were great, because both families had young kids getting Corgis. Watching a Corgi puppy run is great, but seeing one chasing a laughing kid is even better lol.

What a day off from Corgis looks like.
Last night we saw Jeff Dunham in Little Rock.
Part of the show was recording a Valentine's Day TV Special.

12/29/2023

The Jolly Green Giant from Elsa and Olaf's litter got new photos tonight. Short, stocky, and long. He's going to the Trammell family of Medina, Tennessee. Time flies by and you don't realize just how fast they grow up.

12/28/2023

One of the hardest things about raising Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies is controlling the thought: "I might keep that one".

You have to remind yourself: "I can't keep every puppy I like". Then comes the thought: "But, I don't have one from that parent." It's a struggle lol.

New photos of this boy coming soon. ArkansasCorgis.com

5 OF THE GREATEST NOVELS ABOUT DOGS:
The Call Of The Wild - 1903
Old Yeller - 1957
Where The Red Fern Grows - 1961
The Incredible Journey - 1961
Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog - 2005

All 5 books turned into movies. I've read the first four, and the movies weren't as good as the books. On Marley & Me you just can't get much better than Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston.

OUR CORGIS ARE CHICKEN TESTED & APPROVED!

5-8 Chickens flying over their 4 foot fence is a daily routine now. They peacefully roam the yard during the day, even walking past the Corgi Kennel, and at dinner time follow us like pets back to their coop for the night. Corgis see the chickens roaming around, but they don't care. Just a normal day in the Ozarks lol.

One accounting client commented: I drove into the parking lot, got out, and there was a chicken standing in the grass. It didn't run from the car or me. I didn't know chickens were so tame lol.

A few weeks ago I noticed 2 chickens were in the dog run/yard with Robin Hood and Elsa. Besides of seeing it you would never realize it, because not even one Corgi was barking about it lol. Plus the chickens were totally at peace too lol. Chickens were doing their own thing, and Corgis doing their own thing in the same fenced area lol.

Today we found one chicken in Mickey's yard, and 2 other chickens in the yard with Gwen and Rose. Once again Corgis doing their own thing and chickens doing their own thing. Once again not one single Corgi barking about it. Not one single chicken upset either.

They are use to seeing each other through the fences. They know what each other do all day long. They see us going to each other every day to feed them. They know each other are pets. So, when one of the chickens decides to fly over a fence and in with Corgis nothing happens. Chickens and Corgis see each other as pets not threats.

Meanwhile.... online I've seen several people getting rid of Corgis, because their Corgis attack their chickens, other livestock, or other dogs. Not here lol. Corgis all get along. Our Corgis even get the Chicken Seal of Approval lol.

We must have the most tame Corgis and Chickens around lol. No secret to it, just happy animals use to seeing each other.

The Finch Family of Fayetteville got an early Christmas gift on Sunday. Mom surprised her daughter and husband with a girl Corgi named Lady Fern Finch of Arendelle. Daughter cried with tears of happiness. Dad struggled, but he held it in.

They know a family that got a Corgi from us last year. Lot of Corgis in Northwest Arkansas came from ArkansasCorgis.com. 3 computer techs at JB Hunt headquarters also have Corgis from us.

12/11/2023

Thor & Loki are now both with the Howie family of Collierville, Tennessee. If you get one Corgi, you'll want another within 5 hours lol. Thor is the larger boy. Loki is the smaller boy with darker hair on the muzzle. The brothers are from our Elsa & Olaf litter.

Jack. He's the 4 year old that I reluctantly adopted out, because I kept so many of his kids and grandkids.

Ms Simmons of Dublin, Virginia has this to say about Jack, and the girl Corgi she got him as a companion for:
"Jack likes her. They walk well together. They do not walk well apart. He doesn’t even want to walk on lead unless she’s with me. Really quite the pair. They’re the best friends. He is the most well mannered canine companion I’ve ever had. Thank you."

12/05/2023

Lil Bit aka Rey. She's the 1 year old that we felt was too small to breed, so she was spayed and adopted out this weekend.

The Carter family of London, Arkansas had this to say:
"Rey is doing amazing! We only have to show her how to do something once and then she's got it, e.g. the stairs, the doggie door, etc. She's so stinking smart! She's even teaching the Bostons how to act right. lol. She definitely wants to be a lap dog when she isn't bossing everyone around, and we're happy to accommodate her."

12/05/2023

Now we're at the final 2 Corgi puppies of the year. 2 brothers born on October 11th, and ready for homes.

Jack is father of some of our other Corgis. Marian is mother of some of our other Corgis. We also owned Mulan's brother King Arthur. A long line of ancestors in our family, and some of my favorite Corgis of all time.

Goose Hockenberry of Centerton Arkansas turned 3 years old today. He's from our Jack and Lady litter of 2020. Message from Ms Hockenberry.

"I cannot believe Goose turned 3 years old today! This year he learned he loves cats, we did countless road trips, and he spent all summer swimming in Beaver Lake. He ALWAYS has something to say and he is still full of youthful energy and s***k. Friends, vets, and strangers alike constantly say he is the most handsome corgi they’ve ever seen. I think he is the spitting image of his daddy, Jack 😊 He couldn’t be healthier, happier, or more loved. I’m forever thankful for this sweet bundle of chaos and fur!"

ANOTHER REPEAT CUSTOMER: Today the Hughey family of Rogers Arkansas decided to claim the last Tri-colored puppy of the year. He will be joining his 1 year old half-brother Archie.

Only 2 other Corgi puppies left at ArkansasCorgis.com

12/04/2023

"Is it true that people who get 1 Corgi get more?" Well today I got a new customer, who became a repeat customer within 5 hours.

Today the Howie family of Collierville wanted to pick between these 2 boys, so we took both to the Memphis area. They picked the first boy, who is more stocky and mellow. It was a tough decision, because they liked things about both of them.

We drove back home with the 2nd boy, and within 5 hours the Howie family decided they wanted him too. We're going back to Memphis area this coming Saturday with the second boy lol.

Yes, when a person gets a Corgi they often get more within hours lol. 😍

Just 3 Pups left at ArkansasCorgis.com

12/03/2023

THE FINAL THREE! We started with 16 AKC Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies this fall, and this is the last 3 available. All ready for homes now. Reserve one at ArkansasCorgis.com

After these 3 are gone we won't have any more ready for homes until around early July. We can deliver on December 9th, 10th, 16th, and 17th. No deliveries on the weekend before Christmas, because that's when I put on my Santa suit.

CORGI SADDLES. A customer asked a question about saddles today...

The legend is that Fairies used Pembroke Welsh Corgis as horses. The long and low bodies of Pembroke Welsh Corgis made it easy for Fairies to ride them. Then one day Fairies gifted Pembroke Welsh Corgis to humans.

If I remember correctly, I believe it was 2 kids lost in the woods and the fairies gave them Pembroke Welsh Corgis to protect them.

After the mature hair has grown on red and sable Pembroke Welsh Corgis look behind the front legs, and you'll see a light colored line from the Fairy Saddle.

Meanwhile, Redhead Tri-Colored Pembroke Welsh Corgis have a black saddle above their red legs.

Why the name ArkansasCorgis.com?

Once upon a time phones had cables connected to walls, there was no facebook, or even the internet! If kids wanted to play they had to go outside, play the Atari, or listen to music on vinyl records or cassette tapes. It was a very dark time for most people but not me, because I had 2 Corgis named Ginger and Rabbit.

The decades went by, I grew up, met my wife in college, and then the internet was created! It was a great time for all!

Well, to find anything on the internet you had to use keywords on your website. Well, naturally anyone with Corgis in Arkansas wanted the domain name: ArkansasCorgis.com. Getting the domain name ArkansasCorgis.com was easy, because I was basically the only person in Arkansas with Corgis when the internet was created lol.

It took many years after that to see the creation of social media websites like MySpace. Yeah it used to be a real thing, but now most adults under 30 never heard of it. Then came youtube, and along time after that Facebook. Oh yeah, it hasn't always existed.

Facebook changed everything for Corgis. First everyone wanted one. Then everyone had one. Now everyone breeds them. We're one of the few originals though.

Anyways, anyone looking for a Corgi for Christmas? Visit ArkansasCorgis.com. We've had Corgis before facebook, or the internet. Our knowledge of the breed is far beyond any other breeder today, and even many breeders of the past.

Yep, you can learn anything by reading a book or the internet. Most Corgi breeders don't bother to read up about the breed. Some of them can't even spell. We can read, spell, and write! We're educated Corgi breeders!

Arkansas Corgis breeder of Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies. Pembroke Welsh Corgis make great indoor and outdoor pets. Our corgis have gone to new homes in: Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, New York, and California.

AKC PEMBROKE WELSH CORGI BOY
Available at ArkansasCorgis.com
Ready for a home now. We deliver near Memphis, Little Rock, Fayetteville, Jonesboro, Branson, and other areas in Central and Northern Arkansas.

Blue ID Boy born 10/1/23 from our Jill Came Tumbling After & Mickey Once Upon A Mouse.

His litter comes from 2 parents that have 1 Redhead Tri Gene, and 1 Blackhead Tri Gene. He appears to have gotten 1 Blackhead Tri Gene from each parent, so the colors you see now is what he'll be once full grown.

12/01/2023

Corgi for the Carter family of London, Arkansas.

Look at those Big Corgi Paws!! Plus that sexy medium length hair. A big dog in a small package. This is what a Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy should look like. 😍

Green ID Boy from our 10/1/23 Litter of AKC Pembroke Welsh Corgis from Randall's Jill Came Tumbling After and Randall's Mickey Once Upon A Mouse. He appears to have gotten 1 Redhead Tri Gene and 1 Blackhead Tri Gene, so once full grown the top of his head will be part red and part black like both parents.

He's 8 weeks old, and this weekend is going to the Carter family of London, Arkansas. This guy should easily meet the breed standard of 28+ lbs once full grown.
