Okay, so…BIG news here. I took Kifli to the vet for a puppy count x-ray this morning. Twelve babies were seen.

TWELVE.

Y’all. This is an unbelievably large litter and therefore will come with higher risks during labor and delivery, then feeding and thriving. It’s likely we will be bottle feeding and needing to heavily supplement Kifli’s diet with calorie and calcium additives to keep her lactation adequate as well as her weight.
I would never do this otherwise, and never have before now, but this is a complete shocker of a pregnancy count—so I’m reaching out for help. Typically, I use my own funds before collecting deposits, but this litter is going to financially require quite a bit more up front. Please, if you feel led to donate items from my Amazon wish list, it would be so very appreciated. The link to the list is https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/H6KQXXR7M3V7?ref_=wl_share.

This litter theme will have Spanish names and be dubbed 𝐊𝐢𝐟𝐥𝐢’𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥, as we’ve been inspired by our Christmas trip to Puerto Rico and the wonderful, amazing culture that is Latin American. And this litter is definitely large enough to be quite a party, at that!

Kifli’s final pregnancy confirmed! Due the first week of May. She’ll get an X-ray for a puppy count near the last week of April. Four people are already claiming their pups on the waitlist for this litter. Message me for further details of interested in a puppy from this litter. Kifli will probably have a minimum of five and a maximum of ten based on the histories of her previous litter sizes.

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT❗️🐾

Kifli and Fenrir have had a successful breeding this morning (3/1/25). If she gets pregnant, the estimated due date of the litter will be the week of April 27th to May 3rd.
Kifli’s litters are usually large and average 7-10 puppies. This will also be her final litter and she will be spayed after the pups are born.
A waitlist is currently pending for this litter and so far includes four individuals, so if you’re interested in a pup from this litter, message me, as puppy adoption availability is still open!

Kifli + Fenrir
This breeding will be the last litter between Kifli and Fen; Kifli will be spayed once the litter is weaned. Kifli is due to be in heat around the March to April timeframe. If a successful breeding results, puppies will be due around May to June. Rehoming will be around July to August timeframe.

Lyra + Fenrir
Lyra is due to be in heat around August to September when I plan to breed her next. If a successful breeding results, puppies will be due around October to November. Rehoming will be around December to January timeframe.

Fenrir will be neutered once a successful pregnancy between him and Lyra is confirmed.

Message Laurelstead Corgis on Facebook or email [email protected] if interested in joining the waitlist for these upcoming litters!

📣 UPDATE ‼️
Due to unforseen circumstances, the family who was set to adopt Fenrir is no longer able to do so. Fen is once again available for adoption! Please read below:

After a lot of heartfelt thought and consideration, I have decided that Fenrir will be ready for retirement and rehoming this upcoming fall. I will breed him one more time to Kifli and Lyra this year, then he will be neutered and available for adoption. He will be four years old by this time.
Fen is an amazing, goofy, playful, very sweet boy. He loves to be cradled on his back, warm showers (he voluntarily gets in them), kids and people of any and all ages (he is very sweet and gentle with my toddler), and he is good with cats. He is housebroken BUT he will mark—neutering should curb this habit but he may need to wear a we**ie wrap in the home for a while after neutering.
Fen should probably be an only dog. Like most corgis, he is a jealous attention hog. Again, neutering may curb much of his pent up aggression and anxious behavior around other dogs in his “territory,” but this may take time to become apparent. If another dog is considered, it may be beneficial to introduce them at a later date when his hormones have balanced after neutering.
Fen is also very loud. His bark is his joy and he barks A LOT. As a fair warning, when I say his bark is loud, I mean it is like unnaturally loud—it WILL make your ears ring. He responds well to a bark collar and he also does NOT bark much if he is confident he has all the attention on him. In other words, his barking habit will most likely be significantly lessened as an only dog and/or with consistent training.
Fen is AKC registered and health tested and, like all my puppies I adopt out, he will come with a lifetime health guarantee from DM, VWD, EIC, and Lafora disease, as well as all his registration and veterinary paperwork.

**Again, Fenrir will NOT be available until fall of 2025, he WILL be rehomed as a neutered male, and he WILL have an adoption fee with limited AKC registration rights.**

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. MESSAGE ME FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

Last but certainly not least, Dragon of Lyra’s Mythical Menagerie, has been placed with his forever family TODAY, Christmas Day of 2024! With a LOT of careful planning, communication, and coordination, Dragon, meant to be an unexpected but very long-awaited gift for a very special, deserving wife and school teacher, got to be united with his fur mama this morning!
Dragon’s new name is Winston (just like his brother, formerly known as Phoenix, who has also been named Winston)!
I’m so happy for all the puppies who are experiencing their very first Christmas this year from Lyra’s Mythical Menagerie and Kifli’s Patriotic Puppy Pack!
Merry Christmas to all—may everyone be overjoyed with blessings in 2025!

Kifli’s 5th birthday was last Sunday, December 22nd, but we didn’t get a chance to celebrate it with a little doggy party until this evening. She got a gourmet meal of wet dog food instead of a pupcake, but she didn’t mind! She wasn’t too keen about a lit candle in her food, though! 😄
Happy birthday, Kifli! We love you!

My phone broke last Saturday and I just got it replaced, so I can finally post this update for little Kelpie boy! We met up with his new forever mama in north Georgia last Friday, as we all were coincidentally meeting family for the holiday weekend in the area. Kelpie was an absolutely stellar traveler and was so calm and quiet on a 3.5 hour drive. He will be joining his new mama and a mini Aussie brother! He will be keeping his name, as well as nicknamed “KP.” What a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend it was!

It was a VERY busy weekend for Laurelstead Corgis! Five of the seven Mythical Menagerie puppies went home with their forever families!

Selkie is going to a home with two corgi brothers and two dads! Her new name is Bianca!

Griffin is going to be a pampered “only fur child,” and his new name is Maverick!

Kitsune is going to a home with a human sister and looking forward to being spoiled rotten as a princess should be! Kitsune’s new name is Luna!

Centaur is going to be the center of the universe for an elderly woman who has wanted a puppy corgi to pamper and dote on for years. His new name is Benji! His main owner/caretaker wasn’t able to make it for his pickup, but her daughter was! Benji will also have two older doggo siblings!

Phoenix went home with a very, VERY excited 10 year old human sister sibling and 13 year old brother sibling. His new name is Winston Churchill. He will likely become the next main corgi butt model if his human sister has anything to do with it! 🤣

Congratulations to all these precious pups and joining their new families!

The Mythical Menagerie: 6 weeks and 3 days old! Hard to believe so many of these sweet, precious babies will be going to their new, forever homes by next week! They truly do grow up too quickly.
