Hello Dave and Linda,
My apologies on this email being a little later than I had intended. With everything going on these days it’s been a little hectic at home with getting settled in working from home plus spending time watching over the new pup with my wife.
First of all, we decided on a name a little while back. Her name is Cirilla ( Ciri for short! ). It’s from a series of books that my Wife and I love. Little Ciri is full of spunk and attitude, though! She’s settled in quite nicely with our Bernese Mt Dog, Freya. And, despite their size differences, they play great together. With only the occasional stepped on toe. It’s adorable watching them tug on toys together or just play without toys. Ciri wants to follow Freya everywhere.
We’ve gotten her into a nice routine with bedtimes and naps to help my wife (and Freya) get little reprieves from puppy energy. And she’s well on her way to being fully house broken. Daytime accidents are a thing of the past! And nighttime ones have been rare (knock on wood).
Otherwise, she really enjoys sitting on the back of our couch and watching the cup de sac outside. When she’s not playing with one of us or chasing after one of our cats.
Unfortunately, similar to the person you mentioned in Boston, our vet has pushed out their non-emergency timeline to see appointments. We’re currently scheduled in for mid May to get Ciri her next round of vaccines. But we’re also trying to explore other options to get her good and up to date. Fingers crossed this date doesn’t move again.
I’ve included a few pictures for you! Otherwise, I hope this email finds you well.
Cheers - Michael!

March 2020 Hello, I just wanted to check in and say hello. We made the trip back home, and Henry is adjusting so well. He is such a wonderful dog. My daughter is just smitten with him. He is quite calm and laid back just like you said. He gets little bursts of excitement and energy and then hangs out most of the time. Our other dog Scout is coming around. Poor Henry just wants to snuggle with her so badly when he’s sleepy, but she just isn’t quite ready for that, and he’s respecting her boundaries. He’s doing great with the crate, too! We can definitely tell he was used to the crate because he doesn’t mind it at all. I hate that you didn’t get to give him any goodbye snuggles, but after we had held him I was afraid to pass him back I’m with all the extra precautions right now. His other ear went up yesterday. ️ Thank you for our sweet boy! I hope you are all still feeling well and staying safe. Elizabeth |

Hi Dave & Linda!
I wanted to send you guys a few pictures of Finn from the past couple of weeks. He’s settled in very comfortably and we are over the moon in love with him! He’s the sweetest boy and so well behaved. He’s got the normal bursts of puppy energy but is still very relaxed. The photo of him in the cabinet was one day when I was unloading the dishwasher and turned around for a split second and he got in there to look around. He couldn’t get out or jump down by himself but is very adventurous! He is loving the kids that live around us and wags his tail the most when he gets to play with them. He hasn’t met many other dogs yet due to shots not being done but the few he has met, he absolutely loves!

Here are some updates.
Derek and I (and our vet) are thrilled with what quality breeders you are. We left a Google review but would be happy to help in any other way.
Genevieve has an amazing temperament and LOVES running with our border collie and is already great with my 2 year old nephew. She also has mastered "sit" and we are making good progress on house training.

Just to let you know Klem passed his vet check today with flying colors. He was the hit of the office, Dr. Corey said she could tell he came from good parents. As for here at the house he is already settled in. No problems (not a sound) overnight in his crate. Potty training is good,I think he likes going out so he gets his treat.Favorite place to sleep is on the shelf under the coffee table. He is a real clown, I have been in tears many times from laughter. We thank you again for all your kindness and help preparing us for our new adventure. Trying to download some pix's and will send some soon .Dr. Corey will email you with his office visit results.

Hi Linda! Sep 2019
Penny is such a sweet girl. So smart already and Winston can’t get enough of her. Sean said she did just fine on the trip back. One of the plane stewardesses had Sean take her out of the travel crate so she could hold her and play with her.
Yes, I was so sad I couldn’t be there but I’m glad you guys had a nice time yesterday catching up! I’ll send you pictures of her and Winston when i can get one where they are both sitting still! haha

Hi Dave & Linda! Sep 2019
It was so good to meet you both yesterday. We were so glad we got to talk and see around, we can’t stop saying how lovely you both are. Finn had a pretty good first night. He was completely comfortable with his crate and barely whined at bed time. We took him out once throughout the night and he potty’d right away. His was very playful this morning! Playtime, time outside and the vet really wore him out. He’s been napping for a few hours and seems to be adjusting well!

Hi Linda & Dave, Sept 2019
So this little girl has been doing great. She went outside yesterday and pooped and peed without any hesitation. She is fearless. She knows that she is queen of the house and our hearts, we just have to teach her not to bite so much. I have a Chewy order coming and I ordered lots of chew toys. It's funny, her favorite toy is an empty Diet Mountain Dew bottle. She rolls it and bites it and barks at it. Already she has made us laugh with her antics. I am having problems with my camera, but I am hoping to get some good pics very soon!
Just completed her vet visit. Received 2nd puppy shot. All looks good. 4.13 lbs, lungs and heart sound healthy, no sign of hernia. Since already wormed by you, they will just test the fecal sample I brought today and let me know if worming needs to be done again or not.
Just in case you would like to know vet (for your own curiousity), I just love this group:
Dr. Paige K. Stroud is Ripley's vet.

3rd set of puppy vaccs happen on 24 September.
Hope you are enjoying the Facebook pics as much as we have been experiencing them.
Much love,

Hi Linda & Dave,
I wanted to send you a short video, but the file was too big and AOL wouldn't allow it. So here are a couple of photos we took of our baby, who is growing like a weed!!!!! Of course she is more beautiful than a weed, and we get so many compliments on how precious she looks. She has many fans at Diane's work and my Facebook friends! Hope all is well with you all. I will send more photos soon.
Thanks,
Mardel & Diane

Hi Linda and Dave! Aug 2019
Just wanted to update you on Roy! He has been an amazing pup, we love him so much. He is so friendly and love to play, he also loves other pups!
He is also very well behaved and knew perfectly how to come to a whistle the first time we tried him. Amazing! He is so smart and such a good pup.
Here are some pictures of him! He has beautiful markings. We can’t take him on a walk without getting stopped because everyone thinks he is so cute.
Thank you so much for everything!
Thank you!

Hi Linda & Dave July 2019
Ryan and I wanted to give you an update on Stumps after having him for 1 week. He’s adjusting well to our new house (and so are we). We are currently potty training him and I think we’ve made a lot of progress. He does have 1 accident almost daily but this is our fault because he sometimes is just so sneaky about it haha.
He is also being socialized with a lot of our friends and does well with them. Everyone falls in love with him as soon as They meet him. Although he does puppy bite frequently but we are diligently working to solve that with a firm “no”, or redirection to chew toys.
Ryan thinks he’s the cutest dog in the world, and I agree. We are so happy to have him in our lives and we’re learning so much from being pawrents (: Hope all is well with you and we’ll keep the updates coming!

We got 4” of snow. Not bad when you’re in town and they clean the roads. We are ready for the warm weather too. We just got back from a cruise in the Caribbean where it was around 80 degrees every day. Jup stayed at the vet. They let her have her run of the place. Everyone wants a corgi now. We are happy to have had the opportunity to have one of Maggie and Striker’s pups. We love the mix too!

Linda,
Dixon is SO HANDSOME!!! Oh my goodness!! He is absolutely adorable! Please feel free to send me pics of any of your dogs! They are so beautiful, smart and sweet. Ok, some of the puppies were a little ornery, but hey - that’s what made them so cute!! I think Tippy looks like a mirror image of her mom, Trig… She also has a little bit of that brow thing going on that Luke has - very faint buy you can still see it. It’s fun to see the similarities but then they all kind of look alike, don’t they? Haha!!
Tippy is everything we had hoped she would be and more. I’ve told many people about you and Dave, and your wonderful corgis. I know we couldn’t be happier!!
So, here are a couple more pictures of “princess” for you to enjoy…. After all, she owes her start to you!! ;)
(The pictures are as follows: relaxing in bed; showing off her favorite toy (frisbee); and in the middle of everything (as usual) at Christmas.

I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself, I’m Rebecca, Pete Garcia’s fiancé and Chloe’s new mommy.
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to give you a little update on Chloe’s adjustments to her new forever home. Firstly she’s absolutely adorable, Pete had shared your emails throughout this entire process and I was the one to pick her out of the litter you had provided. I just instantly fell in love, and I’m so grateful to you raising such an angel.
She was well secured upon us receiving her from the airport and had food still inside of her bowl. She was so friendly and loving the moment we had gotten a look at her. Thankfully it was roughly about a 50 min drive back home, so she actually fell asleep the entire time.
Once we arrived home we gave her a tour of her new home and more importantly introduced her to her new “sisters”... I’m not sure if Pete shared with you, but we have a 1 yr old 21 pound mini pig (Harley our sweet girl, she’s the size of a full grown Corgi) and a tabby cat (Luna also female) that we recused (she’s about 10 months old now). They’ve both been with us since June of last year and we just knew our home wasn’t complete until we received our Chloe. Very unique mix of fur babies, but that’s what keeps it quite interesting.
Our home is sitting on about a quarter to a half acre (very spacious yard) and it’s completely fenced in with a beautiful vinyl fencing. We live a few houses away from a pond and a walking distance from a lake. So we have a lot of beautiful wildlife visiting our home (mainly Canadian Geese and lots of bunny’s).
We have Chloe staying in our bedroom and decided to keep her in a very large spacious crate till she’s completely trained. Our mini pig lives right across the hall from us in her very own bedroom with an indoor kennel along with our kitties cat tree and toys. Since Pete and I don’t have children of our own together, our fur babies are our babies. We’re huge animal lovers and if it was up to me, I would move south on a small farm raising many other fur babies ️ (working on Pete to make this happen lol).
Chloe is getting along great with our piggy, however our kitty is still adjusting to this tiny, full of energy pup. I took off from work for a week to help out with the dynamics of them all together. Getting Chloe into our routines here. Her first night naturally was a little tough on her, she was whining and howling every 3 hrs or so, however last night not one peep. I have been trying to get her comfortable with her crate and it seems to be paying off. She’s currently in there now just watching us watching tv lol.
Well I’m sorry to be rambling on here, but I truly wanted to let you know how she’s doing as I have no doubt that although you have been through this many times it’s always a joy to hear that your pups are loving their new lives.
We just know by her demeanor that you all have such a loving home and treat each of those puppies with all your heart. So thank you so very much for raising us such a sweet little girl. It was love at first lick ️
I will send you pics of Chloe and her sisters in a separate email as I’m currently typing this one out on my phone.
Lastly her very first night I was able to train her to sit and have it on video. She is one smart pup! She’s also getting familiar with our back door training potty bell. Gives it a little tap to let me know she’s looking to go outside.
Thanks so much Linda! We absolutely love Chloe ♥️
Kindest Regards,
Rebecca & Pete NY

Hey Linda,
I doubt you remember us, but we bought our little boy Ein from you the summer of 2017. Since we picked him up, he's been the brightest part of waking up and coming home from work.
We leave him at home during the day while we are at work and are thinking of getting him a little sister to add to our family and to give him a friend to play with.
My wife and I are hoping to get a female brown, black and white Corgi (i call them the burnt toast corgis) that we could possibly pick up this summer.
Let me know if that is a possibility and I hope we can add another little one into our herd.
Thanks again!
Connor D.

Hello, Dave and Linda;
Thought you might be interested in some pictures of Howard that his trainers took today while working on his “climb” command.
He finished puppy preschool today, and he has done so fabulously well. We will be continuing with group classes in the next few weeks, and may look at some fun agility training on the side. He is such a fun little dog!
Thanks so much! Talk to you soon.
Sincerely;

Sept 2018 Update on Kat's retirement:
Hi Linda,
I don't think anything is going to separate those two from each other! I know it was hard to let Kat go, but I haven't seen Janice this happy since her husband died almost 5 years ago. It's so sweet the way they have bonded. Kat stays right with her and keeps her eyes on her. She'll come over and say hi to me, let me pet her and welcome me, but she goes right back to Janice's side.
Every time I see them, Janice tells me how perfect Kat is and how glad she is to have her. She takes her out to church every morning to walk, but only until the dog starts to get tired. Then they head home, with Kat sitting right in the passenger seat like a person. Janice says she likes her smile. And she's right, the dog does have a nice smile.
Thank you so much for helping me bring joy back into her life!

It was great meeting you both also!!! What a beautiful home you have and the dogs are just wonderful!!! Yes Lexie has a great forever home with us and we are so grateful that I found you. While I was laid up with my hip, I watched the new series “The Crown” and said that’s the kind of dog I want.
She’s so calm and very affectionate how she lays her head on my arm when holding her! I will send pictures as soon as I figure it out! ️

Hi Dave & Linda
Yuna's coming along quite well so far. She has been having a lot of fun meeting my friends and their dogs, as well as scaring off my friends cat which is twice her size. I started training her yesterday in the basics (sit, lay down, leave it) and she's picking these up fast. I knew Corgis were smart, but I wasn't expecting her to pick it up this quickly.
I also wanted to say thank you for all the training you guys did with the puppies. I started crate training her on day 1, and she's been perfect at it. It's now to the point where she volunteers to go into the crate, and doesn't whine hardly at all.

Yuna's coming along quite well so far. She has been having a lot of fun meeting my friends and their dogs, as well as scaring off my friends cat which is twice her size. I started training her yesterday in the basics (sit, lay down, leave it) and she's picking these up fast. I knew Corgis were smart, but I wasn't expecting her to pick it up this quickly.
I also wanted to say thank you for all the training you guys did with the puppies. I started crate training her on day 1, and she's been perfect at it. It's now to the point where she volunteers to go into the crate, and doesn't whine hardly at all.

Hi Linda
Gracey has been great in her first two days here. She has been very well behaved! Very few barks and nibbles. She is very happy and playful and eats and drinks regularly. She has even started making it outside to do her business and has started responding to her name. The only hard part is leaving her downstairs at night in her pen and trying to sleep while she cries but she will get used to it I'm sure. She is already very attached. Pics and a video included!
Gracey is still doing great and learning way faster than anticipated! She has almost mastered walking on a leash. She has already learned her name, the word no, drop it, and come here. She is able to be left alone in her pen and she is happy with no whining! She has even mastered going up and down the big staircase. She is practically trained to go to the bathroom outside but she just can't hold it yet. Anytime we take her out she goes, but if she needs to go at off-normal times she usually lets us know but we only have a second until she can't hold it anymore. She is great with other people and dogs and is surprisingly quiet, she only makes noise when she gets frustrated by being told she can't do something like eat the carpet! lol
5 days in and she has already learned so much!

Linda,
So sorry for the distance between contact!
This little guy is the best thing that happened to us! He’s loving life here in a Chicago! He’s the most popular dog in our neighborhood. We seriously can’t walk 10 feet without people stopping us to gush all over him. We live on top of a restaurant and all the workers know him and say hi on his walks. This little farm dog from Missouri is now a big city dog. He doesn’t get scared when the train goes by and loves sitting on the front stoop to watch people coming back from Cubs games.
We’re getting him all his shots and he starts puppy training next week. He’s so good in the crate. He sleeps through the night now without accidents and just hangs out in the crate during the day.
He’s such a good boy! We can’t thank you enough for raising amazing dogs.
Send us your cell number and we can add you to our Riggs photo stream! But here are a couple of pics including some with Winky, my cousin’s dog who also is one of yours!
Have a great weekend!

Hi Linda and Dave,
This is how Zoey spent her 4th of July... very relaxed.
She is doing great... She has mastered the dog door, a few commands and which kitty she can play with and which one to leave alone.
Very smart girl. Doesn't take her long to learn tricks and manners...yay! I am so happy with her.
She started puppy class yesterday and really likes it. I'm sure she will graduate with flying colors.
Thank you again for doing such a good job raising her... the time you put in with your pups really shows.
Have a great summer,
Audrey Wrinkles
P.S. A funny thing to share with you. Zoey does great coming to a whistle, I make sure she gets a reward every time. However, there is a parrot in the house who whistles also. It took her about a week of scrambling to the bird cage and waiting patiently, but Zoey has finally figured out that Stella doesn't hand out treats.

Mosen still has that cute little look with one ear up and another ear down. The Vet also stated that the other one
would stand up soon.
He is back to his funny little self this morning. He slept till 6 this morning and then was ready to go and play till about
9:30 He just goes into his little play pen and lays down to sleep.
The vet office called to check on him and everything seems quite normal.
I'll keep sending you updates and pics as he changes and grows.
Love him so much

Our princess is brilliant!!!!
She went to the door. When we took her out she peed and pooped. Yaaaay. Honestly I have been vigilant. I have stayed home for most of the week so that we can practice.
She does want to be with me. The first time I closed the gate she went right through it. Houdini she is.
Frankie willingly goes into her kennel and we left her in it tonight while we ate dinner and not a peep.
We’re putting her to bed around 9 and getting up around 7 and with a pad and a towel for her to sleep on she’s doing very well.
Dave and Linda, we’re very pleased. The vet gave her a good report. She weighed 3lbs and 15 oz on Wednesday. No pup could be more spoiled. Thank you again.

Hi Linda & Dave Jan 2018
Just sending a few photos. All is well and Charley loves her new playmate. Yes, Pablo, Latin for petite. He's just too precious. He's already training outside and knows where the cookies are. He's been to the vet, had shots and has gained a pound! He loves his house and his new routine. We've worked out our schedules so we keep close watch. He's still eating and loving the same food. He naps then runs like crazy then snacks, naps and runs again. I think Charley has lost a pound! We are a happy family. Thanks again!
Will keep you posted!

Hi Linda & Dave
I just wanted to send you some new pictures of Beatrix. We are head over heals in love. She is such a sweet puppy. She has been very fun and quick to respond to training, she is very playful and loves to play by herself as well as with us. She will be 8 months on Monday, and she weighs 18 lbs. How much more do you think she will grow? I think her coloring is a lot like her Dad's Luke! We couldn't be happier with her. Next week my sister and I go on another road trip to pick up a border collie pup for my sister. I am bringing Beatrix who is an excellent traveler. I can't wait to see how she responds to a puppy. Maybe there is another corgi pup in our future!?!

Hi Linda & Dave
Molly is doing great. Our old yellow lab is her new best friend. He is so good with her... very tolerant. Potty training is moving along faster than I anticipated. She's very smart and so much fun. Plays hard and crashes hard. She knows exactly where her box of toys is located, and has already selected a few favorites to pull out as soon as she wakes up. Everyone loves her wherever we go. I have already had several people ask about her breeder... you might be getting some more Kansas people on your waiting list. It took me a long time to select a breeder for our first puppy. Thank you for the love you show all your dogs and puppies. I always like to believe that people really do want to be nice and do the right thing ,but I've come to realize that some people dont know that they are not helping the breed by just breeding for the sake of breeding. Producing cheap easy puppies for the masses. I know that if I am to breed Molly in approx 2 yrs I will need to find a suitable mate or breeder soon. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations before I start? Or would you have males that are unrelated to Molly... in the next year or so?

What an adorable pillow cover! Thank you so much. I have been out of town for two weeks....without Skye since we went on a cruise with parents.....talk about a long two weeks. I was more happy and excited to get back to my puppy than going on a cruise. Skye continues to be a super star. He's so smart and a joy to have in my life. We started training for the open classes in obedience, so he is learning to retrieve, jump different fences on direction and to find different articles with my scent on them. I still want to go to herding class too, but we don't have anyone local. So that will have to wait.
Our next shows are in February.....hopefully he gets high in trial!!!
Thanks again,
Jennifer

Oh Linda - I so enjoyed taking with you. I’m a Corgi convert so there isn’t much I enjoy more than “ talking corgi”! I’m envious of your experience with so many wonderful puppies. You have the perfect environment to breed your amazing corgi families. Zelda is a doll and I’m so proud you are taking such good care of her. She’ll be an exceptional addition to someone’s family. Thank you for sharing your photos of the little angels sleeping. Hopeful Kat isn’t too uncomfortable and delivers soon. Thank you again and again for being such great breeders and taking time with hopeful families like us.
Best wishes,
Sondra & Richard

It was nice to talk to you Linda and I'm sure the two puppies will be going to loving homes this holiday season. Thinking back to last year we had such fun coming down to visit Pippa and meet you in person. there is just nothing better than playing with puppies and the girls still speak of it fondly. I know they are anxious to see Pippa again as they have only been home once in the past year. After I hung up with you I thought of multiple events that have been such fun with her. She adores going to our lake property; with 2 labs the swimmer in the bunch is Pippa! We installed a dog ramp on our dock this past summer and she loves it! We are at the end of a cove so the dogs can go down and access the water from our "beach" , plus we have concrete stairs into the water, but the ramp is by far her favorite! It's the first thing she heads to when we get there and she will swim whether the labs go or not. We were down there just last week and although it was warm the water is cold. She didn't care; she headed to the ramp which is up for the winter and when it wouldn't "go down" for her she came back up from the dock and headed to the beach. You could almost see the surprise on her face when she realized the water was cold but she went in anyway and looked at the labs as if to say "what's your problem, there is water here to swim in!" All the dogs are good and stay close by, you should see Pippa look when a heron flies in! I can't wait till the white pelicans arrive. David saw a group of 50+ in the cove last year - that should be a sight for us all! We saw a flock in the air last week but they didn't land. We also took her to Springfield to pickup an Airstream trailer we just bought (we are crazy I know!) and she sat in the office while we did all the paperwork (the whole building is dog friendly) and either laid under our feet or sat at the office door and watched people. There were other dogs around but she was very good and never made a peep. Then she stayed in the trailer with us as we "camped" there overnight and was very good. She especially like it when we found the two HUGE groundhogs on a walk about. Everyone enjoyed her! The next weekend we took the airstream to Florence, KY to pickup one of our Kona trucks which had been re-wrapped (it gets done every 7 years) and they parked it inside in the big front room of their building so we could wax it before we left. Pippa stayed with us while we completed that with a few walks in-between and again was quite the hit. She went everywhere we did including a walk over to Tractor Supply for some things we needed and of course got a new toy for her birthday! Combined there were a lot of new experiences, new people, and new sleeping arrangements (though we took her crate for continuity and a safe place to put her should we need it) and she handled it all very well. She has been such fun and we look forward to many more adventures with her! Merry Christmas! Joanne & David November 2017 Hi Linda and Dave, hope you all had a great thanksgiving! I wanted to drop a quick email to you about how Gryffin (ring) is doing. He’s up to 24.6 lbs now and still full of energy. He’s got a girlfriend, another corgi that lives in the apartments behind us, she’s about a year older than him. Her name is Juniper. We had a new vet hospital move into the shopping mall just across the street from us so we’ve been going there and they absolutely love him. Health He’s doing well for the most part. I have him on Flea+Heartworm on the first of the month. He got a little depressed when I went on vacation and left him with just my roommate and the cat. Ever since I came home (was gone for 2 weeks) he’s been following me everywhere I go. He did have a touch of a stomach bug that we gave him 4 pills for nausea and about a week and a half worth of pills to re-adjust the bacteria levels in his stomach. He seems to be doing better now. Coat, Nails, Teeth Everyone loves his look; especially since he’s the same color as the cat! I have a Furinator http://a.co/0UYJgcF that he’s realized he loves being brushed with. When I give him a bath, he doesn’t give any problems, and when drying off, he loves posing in front of the hairdryer. His teeth need a little bit of cleaning; but the vet said he’s good for a bit longer (giving him greenies and duo-cleanse teeth cleaners). Eventually he’ll need a tarter cleaning which the vet will do. He really needs his nails trimmed, and the hair between his pads, but he doesn’t like anyone messing with them, so we have to give him a “happy pill” to calm him down for a few hours. He graduated his classes at PetSmart and he’s doing okay with some of the commands, but he still takes a lot to understand them. If he sees another person or animal, he tries to run after them, but he’s slowly learning still not to do that. For Halloween he dressed up as a Shrimp Sushi roll and everyone thought that was the cutest thing ever! I had previously been feeding him in a way of just keeping his dish full and that seemed to be alright. However, after talking to our vet, I want to get him on a more scheduled plan. Rather than a full bowl, I’m trying to train him to a 6am and 6pm feeding schedule. He took to it for the first couple days, but now it’s hit and miss. He’s getting it though. Other than that, not much else. He’s got tons of toys, although I think his favorite is using the cat as a chew toy. I’ll try to get you some pictures soon! Christopher October 2017
Wallis is so fabulous! 12 1/2 lbs on October 4th. He has been fixed. He did well. He is completely adored and darling. He makes friends wherever he goes. When does he move to adult food? He is still a big napper with Peter and does everything he says. Me? Where is the treat? Love ❤️ this little guy🐶❣️❤️ Thanks again for him. How are you and Dave and all the pups? His parents? Were they both small? We absolutely love him. Warmly, Lee Anne September 2017
Skye got a perfect 100 in rally and was second by 3 seconds (fastest time determins winner) AND he got a qualifying score and his new CD title in obedience!!!! I love this little guy Jen September 2017
Hey Linda! Just wanted to send you a couple pictures of little Pippin on his 6 month birthday. He's a bit shy of 20 pounds and in good health. If you get any pictures of his brothers and sisters from the same litter ever I'd be interested to see them. Hope things are going well on the farm! Justin September 2017
Morning Linda! Navi has been doing great! She has grown quite a bit and has learned a few commands already. She seems to have issues letting me know when she needs to go the bathroom so there have been a few inside accidents, but for the most part she knows going outside is better. So I've been working on getting her to ring a bell before we go outside so she can ring it when she wants to go outside. We have a long way to go! She also gets really excited to see me when I come home and pees a little, which i hear is common and she will grow out of. This was only recent though. Everyone loves her and her personality. She's been a great companion! I hope you and Dave have been doing well! I attached a few recent pictures. Dang August 2017 Hi Linda Lucy update: She's an awesome dog, best of all she's potty trained and loves her treats. She's so bossy and she's a cuddler at night (for 10 seconds) and then she wants to patrol the house. Love her!! Jeanette August 2017
She's awesome! Watson is still Getting used to her. He's a crotchety old mad at the age of three and has no times for shenanigans in the house... lol! Hard to say. She's still got the black on her ears, tail, and parts of her feet. She's a darker red compared to Watson. She's awesome though. They both are. Thanks again for being such awesome people! Ryan July 2017
Linda & Dave It was a great day. She rested very well in my carrier, and she seems very secure with us. We have given her plenty of rest time! I love her so very much! Pictures will come next! We feel so fortunate to have had Beatrix get her start with such wonderful people! She hasn't had an accident inside today at all, she has had several calm crate rests during the day and she follows me everywhere! She comes when she is called and she is learning to sit! I love her so much! Susan July 2017
Guess what ? Skye got a perfect score at this weekend's dog show! He had qualifying scores and ended up with a first, second and third in novice obedience and rally. He even got a professional photo shoot....those pics will come in 3-4 weeks. Love him. He's a great little guy. Jennifer Bianchi DVM Linda
Eli is barking at the fireworks and Zoey is in her hiding space under the bed. Such different personalities. Love them both!! All that being said we are all trying to name the boat. Remember our naming Eli...this boat naming is nowhere as intense, but I thought of you putting up with our antics naming Eli. Just wanted you to know we are at it again and wishing you a Happy 4th of July!!! Happy 4th of July with Corgi Kisses Jim Louanna Zoey & Eli June 2017 I forgot to tell you the cute thing that Cooper did this last Thursday. The guy who gave us our estimate on replacing our roof was here on Thursday afternoon (between storms - sun was actually shinning for a while). He met Cooper and everything was great. Then the guy got his ladder and got up on our roof to inspect it. And we went into our yard and sat under a shade tree. It was lovey with a nice breeze. When the guy got out on the roof and Cooper spotted him, he started ‘woofing’ at him. LOL It was so funny. Woof Woof….Woof…..Woof. His tail was up and he was a few feet away from us, nearer to the house and woofing at the guy that he just met. He never saw a guy on the roof. It was so cute. We don’t go a day without Cooper doing something that makes us laugh. And that is a good thing. Juliene Just wanted to share. :-) April 2017
Dear Nistlers, Hope all is well back on the farm! Wanted to let you know how our little Mav is doing now that he is a bit over 4 months. He has made a perfect addition to our young family and we couldn't be happier. We can't go anywhere in public with him without being stopped 100 times to meet him. Yesterday he graduated from his first puppy class and he is a smart little guy although has his stubborn streaks. He has been so much fun and we love him so again thank you. I've attached some pics so you can see his progress! -Dan March 2017 Linda & Dave, I hope you are doing well. Now that Kal is a year old I thought I'd send a little update. Our little Kal is healthy, happy, and as handsome as can be! He is always getting compliments on his good looks. He's super stubborn and always looking for trouble. He's also smart and very cuddly. He took his first big road trip to CA for Christmas and was an excellent little traveler. Thank you for adding this wonderful new furry family member to our lives. Destinee March 2017
Skye is stepping up in classes and just got 2 firsts and 2 seconds in preferred novice and rally. He is so very smart!!! We started agility classes last week, so hopefully he can compete in three divisions at the corgi national specialty this year. This is a fantastic pup!! I love him so much. I think he will even make the rally nationals, too. Jennifer Bianchi Linda:
Hoping 2017 is bringing you and Dave good health and good things. Every now and them I visit your website to see the Corgi family. I want to say that you are a gem for the breed that I love so much. Your puppies are beautiful and reflect the love an care you give them. Tequila celebrated her 5 Birthday in January this year. She is healthy and has matured into a beautiful dog with a great personality . She is one spoiled princess as you can see in the attached pictures. The other day we were outside and a gentleman stop to greet her, after commending on her beauty and temperament he told me that his Mother bred and showed Corgis in Michigan. He told me that he knows a good Corgi when he see one. You can imagine I was a proud Mom. Continue your good work. My regards to you and Dave good health and bless you. Sonja Torres -
January 2017 Just wanted to give you a quick update and let you know that Pippa is doing well. She has made it through most every night and the ones she is up is generally because one of our labs wants to go out and we can't not let her go out with them if she is asking to go. Hopefully we can keep that at a minimum as I would rather she didn't get into that habit! She is enjoying her barn outings and her new feline friend! She pounces on him regularly and he is generally tolerant of her. I try to watch and not let her overdo it; and Cappy, our lab, is the self designated intervener and if anyone gets too wild she will go over and bark at them till they stop! Pippa is a self assured and confident puppy which I know comes from the dogs you selected to breed, and also the great start they get with you both! Having them already know to come to a whistle is such a HUGE benefit and we are continuing to build on it. I am training her to a mechanical whistle also since I am not the loudest of whistlers at times! Her confidence has only gotten her into trouble once and it was right in front of us. We discourage her from going toward the garage side of the house as it is a short driveway to the road and a short distance from the pasture fence. So just the other day when we diverted her she decided to take another route and went through our garden, up to our very small fishpond and directly in!!! She went totally under and came up swimming, David had her out immediately and put her down to shake and then we took her straight in and toweled her dry. Was both scary and hilarious in equal parts. I am not sure if she has learned from this but we have! Of course she is never unattended outside, and when it gets warm enough to open our pool she will learn to swim! Sadie was always a great swimmer and loved it! Gracie could swim but was't as proficient. I just couldn't believe she never hesitated at the rocks surrounding it. Have to admit that it is true corgi attitude, never met anything they couldn't tackle! Even if it is walking on water!! Hope you all are doing well. We could use some more sun around here to make me more energetic! Hugs! Joanne - Missouri Jan 2017
Hi Linda Molly is a great pup, teaching outside potty, She is a little confused but doing better today. Likes her kennel, sleeping in it now. Had a busy day, went to neighbors to play with a foster care pup. She is not one bit afraid of new things. Then went to Mom's retirement home and played with her, had fun barking at the wheels on her walker and with a talking toy that Mom has. I cleaned up old papers and straightened up her books on the lower shelf of a table, Molly laid down next to me and fell asleep with her head on 2 books. I also feed her in the kennel so no fighting over food, sees the bowl and runs to get in the kennel and gone and now uses the doggy door several time by herself. She is so smart! Thank you for a great pup! Pam - IL Jan 2017
Hi Linda and Dave, Thank you so much for the email:) I'm so glad that you enjoyed our Christmas card, we thought you would like to see how Minnie (and the boys) have grown! Minnie is the most amazing dog. She is a joy beyond words; so loving, playful, and the sweetest, cutest, personality ever! She loves to play fetch and tug-o-war 24/7... REALLY! OBSESSED!!! We have endless laughs because of her and she warms our hearts daily with her love and companionship. Honestly, we couldn't have ever even dreamed her to be so special. Every friend and family member adores her and can't wait to see her... Our family often talks about someday getting another corgi! LOL...We will see:) Hope you have a wonderful new year! Warm Wishes, Stacey and Family CA Dec 2016 Hi Linda and Dave, I'm pleased to send a picture of Einstein at 9 months enjoying his very first christmas and snow! He absolutely loves the snow and digs his nose in it and hops and skips around! He has finally been neutered almost a month ago and healed wonderfully. His eating has decreased though and I wanted to ask your advice. He is still on the same exact puppy food you and your husband provided to me, now that he is almost a year old should I switch to dog food in the same brand? I cant be sure but I believe this is the reason he has not been eating as well, he has not lost weight and his stool is healthy (goes 3 times a day). His activity is still very increased so I dont think he is ill. Thank you so much, Letty KS August 2016
Hi Linda, It's been quite a while since I last wrote to you, I hope you and your family has been well! Conan graduated from puppy class today and I thought of sending some pictures to you :) He will be continuing obedience classes this winter. He's just so sweet like you described, with some very entertaining quirks. Notorious blanket thief, die-hard fan of strawberries, and funny snorer. He's still very quiet and barks only on rare occasions but it suits well for apartment-living. Everyone loves him and people even recognize him on our daily walks at the local campus. He's popular with other dogs too, he has so many puppy friends. One puppy in his puppy class is absolutely in love with him, I've never seen two dogs get along so well. Thank you so much for bringing him into mine and my family's life. Emily - Canda Aug 2016 Hey guys! Hope all is well! I know we haven't sent you pics in a while so I figured I'd get them out to you. Watson is still the best dog ever. Thanks again for everything. We might be looking into getting him a sister in the future too! Ryan & Lauren - IL June 2016
Hi Linda Just wanted to let you know that Kal is doing great. Thank you for such a great pup! Destinee - Kansas Linda June 2016
Skye passed his novice class last in first place! He starts trial procedures (show work) in the next class. He is a great puppy! Jennifer Bianchi June 2016
Hi Dave and Linda -- Harriet and I hope you are enjoying the cool in the northwoods of Minnesota. We thought we would give you an update on Shiloh. He has had two visits with our veterinarian for general check-ups and vaccinations. On his first visit (16 May) he weighed in at 6 lbs 8 ozs; on his second visit (6 June) he weighed in at 8 lbs 6 ozs. His next scheduled appointment is 5 July. Note from Harriet: Shiloh has the most amazing personality. He adapts to situations easily (people coming and going from the house, grandbaby etc.). Everyone just loves him. He is also totally devoted to Gary but I don't feel left out either. He is just a great little dog. He carefully collects his toys by our grandson's bed while the baby sleeps. He collects rocks (when we miss it) from outside and happily plays with the rocks until caught. When we are busy with paperwork, he happily plays with his toys. He loves a daily greenie. He also loves to play with ice cubes when placed in the crate. Oh yes, he REALLY LOVES MUD! One day Gary was working for about 20 minutes in the garden so Shiloh got 'free time" in the yard. Gary brought him in just covered with mud. He slid in it, he rolled in it, he ran with his nose in it like snow.It took one shampoo with three rinses to even see white on him again. Fortunately we don't get mud very often here. That little puppy had a blast in the mud. He had mud in every crevice. We can send you pictures but we don't want to "blow up" your phone too much. Would you like some pics? Anyway, this little happy dog has a wonderful personality. For two old folks, he is very energetic in the morning, but three walks seem to help tame the explosive energy. One other note, he does love to hide under furniture in the house. Sometimes we really have to search to find him. Thanks for teaching him to come when he hears whistling. Gary & Harriet June 2016
Henri is loving life in the suburbs. He got his final round of shots today and our vet said everything looks perfect he starts puppy classes soon--maybe he'll be our agility dog! He's stubborn but so sweet and very fast! He gets along great with his big sister and the kitties as well. He even chews on the same bone with Ozzy! Kelsie June 2016
Hi Linda & Dave I apologize I have been very busy with my summer classes and packing for my move. Ein is doing well he sits at the door when he needs to go out to potty and has not had an accident in the house for several weeks. I watch him alot while im doing homework and he plays. ill often times record him being goofy. His puppy classes are still going and he is doing quite well in them too. Ive attached several pictues of him and I for you. I love him so much. Letty February 2016 Skye passed his puppy class and STAR puppy test with honors! He was the youngest in the class, but handled it very well. He goes on to beginners next week. I love this pup. He is wonderful and extremely smart. Can't wait to see how he does at the shows. Jennifer Bianchi DVM Feb 2016
Hello Linda and Dave! We just wanted to let you know how great Oliver is doing! He went to the vet a couple weeks ago and he weighs about 15 pounds. He just completed his first training course about three weeks ago and will start the intermediate course in March. He loves a challenge and is very kind and smart. We absolutely love him and want to thank you for letting him be a part of our lives. He's always happy, cuddling and full of energy. I attached some photos so you can see how much he has grown! Hoping all is well with the both of you and all of your furbabies! Holly and Jordan Jan 2016
Hi Linda and Dave! Hope all is well and that you are enjoying some of this cold weather. Our little Lulu is officially one year old today so we wanted to share some pictures with you guys. She loves the cold and the snow. We love her so much. She is amazing and we couldn’t imagine life without her. -Garrett and Sarah Jan 2016
Hello, Linda and Dave! I've been meaning to catch you up on Miss Scarlett. She's amazing, as expected. Such a sweet little dog. Scarlett, big sister Daisy Mae, and mommy welcomed a new sweet baby boy to the family last June. I've attached some photos of the family and of Scar with William. Hope all is well! Dana Nov 2015
Skye is officially spoiled and a very smart pup. Absolutely love him. I am impressed at how fast he is learning. Love him already ! Jennifer Bianchi DVM - OK November 2015 Hi Linda, Tucker is doing great! He has such a great personality! He loves being outside and to be able to people watch! It's pretty funny. Here are some photos! Candice Linda,
This has been a pleasurable and spot on experience getting a pup from you and your husband. Thank you for making the experience special. My mother used to raise and breed dachshunds, and I remember always having puppies around. Aren't you both so fortunate! We drove down to see Matt, Jameson and Winnie...Winston, but I'm partial to Winnie. He is super cute and inquisitive and seeing Matt with his puppy made my heart swell. I will make sure you get pics and updates. Thank you. Christine - Kansas City October 2015 Hi there, We wanted to email you guys to let you know that our Maggie is doing so well! I can't believe she's already 1 year old! Thanks so much for providing us with the perfect pup! She's graduated from 3 levels of training, and is prepping for the KGC test in the next year. She was the flower girl in our wedding this year too! She's a quirky drama queen, and she's perfect for us! I've attached some pictures for you guys to see. :) Thanks again! Amy, Michael, and Maggie |
Linda, October 2015
We decided to name him Oliver! We love him so much already! He did great on the drive home. Slept the whole way. He has also used the puppy pad already and gone outside. We want to thank you for such a great a puppy. We can already tell how smart he is and he loves to cuddle. Thanks again for all of the information too. We will be sure to send you updates. Thanks.

Hey Linda I saw Dave and the new babies on your web site. Brought back memories of waiting for your picture updates of Zoey. We can't believe she will be a year old next month. She is doing well and is so much a part of our family now we can't imagine her not being here.
I'm not much on discipline and I have found with Corgis they will get what you want on their own anyway, but I think Zoey may be one of the best. She has her ways of letting us know what she wants too. One of her big things is getting her belly scratched before she goes to sleep at night (you know, all stretched out on her back in the middle of our? bed). She is our special girl. She is a little bit Daddy's girl. Most evenings you can find her curled up asleep on the foot of his recliner. She is such a hoot. She hides from Oliver and pounces on him like a cat when he comes around the corner. She and I think that is funny... not so sure about Oliver.
We were at the vets office yesterday for heartworm pills and pedicure and she weighs 22#. It is time for her spay surgery and I can't imagine keeping her quiet for a week. She is such a little whirlwind. Well, I just won't think about all that today.
Best wishes with the puppies. We can say from experience there are seven lucky families to be getting those babies.
Zoey Jim & Louanna Springfield, MO

Just wanted to share a few pictures of Watson (formerly Toby) from your 8/29/14 litter. We celebrated his 1st birthday this weekend! Just wanted to let you know he is doing well and we love him so much! He is such a smart, feisty, little guy. Absolutely a treat and we are so blessed to have him in our home. My daughter, Alex, has already said when she is able to, she wants to get a Corgi, but she only wants one from you. Thank you again for allowing us to adopt one of your babies. Hope you enjoy the pictures of Watson and congratulations on your new litter!
Thank you again!!!

Just wanted to send a picture. Kip is amazing and spoiled and doing very good. he's still learning boundaries and we're still teaching him things, but that'll probably never end. He is so smart and catches on quick!! Ashley |
Hi Linda and Dave,
We just wanted to say hi and give you an update on Lulu. First of all we are totally in love with her. She is such a sweet and fun little puppy. At five months old she is already potty trained and has learned many commands. She has a silly and sassy personality that has made everyone who meets her love her. We think this is all due to the love and care you give to her and her litter mates while she lived on the farm. I’m ready to get another corgi already but, Garrett says we need to wait until she is a little bigger. Just wanted to say hi and give you an update. We tell everyone who asks about your farm.
Thank you so much for our little corgi!

Hi, Dave and Linda! This is Michael, Nikki, and Alistair from Utah. We were just talking, and we realized it had been quite some time since we've let you know about how Alistair has been, and so we figured we would shoot you guys an email and some pictures/videos. We are so incredibly grateful that you trusted us with our boy, and we really cannot thank you enough. He's a rambunctious little monster, and he's definitely got a talent for trouble, but we couldn't be happier with him. He's such an important part of our family, and we absolutely love him to death. Anyway, here's what the little terror has grown into!

Linda and Dave: May 2015 It is amazing how fast times goes bye. Tequila is already 3 years old and it feels like it was yesterday that we picked her up at the airport. She has grown to be a very special dog, very healthy , full of energy . Her favorite thing is to go on car rides and herding the chickens. I have to say that you breed wonderful corgis . You made our purchasing experience a wonderful one . I am a Corgi fan and have to say you are what keeps this wonderful breed flourish. Keep up the good work . I visit your webpage and follow your Corgis regularly and can see the love that you and Dave have for your dogs. I can see it everyday on my Tequila, her health and temperament comes from MO. Wishing you and Dave lots of health and good things. Regards Sonja and Tequila May 2015 Hello. I'm on my phone, so just a quick note to let you know that everyone is doing fine. Bingham is one smart little boy and already ringing the bell to go out. Bayden ran the whole course tonite off leash, including teeter and weave poles. He loves it!! How are you? Good I hope! I'll write more when I'm on my computer. Take care, Terry Ohio Note to readers: Bingham and Bayden are brothers from Fancy & Kip - different litters. Bayden the oldest is now competing in agility!!! See puppies sold page for their pictures. May 2015
Hi Linda, Just wanted to give you an update on Baauer. He's doing really great and is just a really sweet and smart puppy. His house training is honestly going really well and he only has the occasional accident already. Everything has been going well at the vet, he just got his 13 week shots and is completely healthy. Thank you both again for raising this guy for me. I really appreciate it. Will St Louis, MO Linda, April 2015
Hope all is well with you and Dave and the corgi gang. I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed our telephone chat the other night. I came home tonight to find Zoey, Oliver, Claire and O Pa playing wiffleball in the backyard. Zoey came running to the fence to greet me with that little tail wagging and I thought how pretty she is and what a wonderful addition to our family she is. Claire now wishes we all lived in the same house so she could see Zoey every day. I'm sure next door is close enough. We will get some new pictures soon. Enjoy your summer in your Minnesota home. Think of us here in the old hot Missouri Ozarks. Trust me when I say Zoey and I will be somewhere cool. Louanna Jim & Zoey Hi Dave and Linda! April 2015
Just got home from Muggsy's second vet visit. All is well. He's been very well behaved thus far. He's only had two accidents off the puppy pads, and one came in the first five minutes in his new home. He hasn't used the pads in over a week and has done a good job letting me know when he needs to go out. That seems pretty impressive, to me, for an 11 week old pup. He did chew up a pair of sandals yesterday, but has been great outside of that. Just wanted to say he's been a wonderful pup so far, and everybody he meets loves him. Thanks for bringing him into my life. Andrew - Missouri Hi Linda April 2015
We took a nap today with Rogue. Can't get enough of him!! Oh we had some friends over last night for a welcome home Rogue gathering. He was such a hit!! Thank you for raising such a wonderful happy lovely puppy!! We are on a boat heading to the island. In 4 days this pup has been on a plane in a car and now a ferry. I took him to the vet today for the Check up. The vet said he looks great! Thank you both for raising a great puppy -Sam Ps I cried when got him off the plane and I took him out of the crate on Friday and he was licking my face. Sam "the girl" Rode Island Good morning Linda & Dave, April 2015
Update on Abby--she's doing fine, gets rave reviews everywhere we go. Sara's even had a couple of cars stop when she's walking Abby (on a leash, which she handles well) just to ooooh and aaaah over her. She's really a very nice little puppy dog--needless to say, we love her dearly.She' and the cats are still in conversation, trying to work out their relationship---no major skirmishes...Sam e-mailed us--she's on Martha's Vineyard, a short distance from where we go on the boat in the summer--looking forward to getting Rogue and Abby together. With all Jenny's pups gone, your house must seem empty!! Abby's AKC name will be Abigail of Huntington---sounds officious--because we live on Huntington Drive Rory & Sara - Rhode Island |

Hi Linda & Dave
We wanted to give you an update, Toby is doing great. He's so well behaved and we are so proud of him. Several people have asked us where we got Toby and they actually ended up buying puppies from you. Jason and I are both working full time now and we are interested in getting Toby a companion but right now we don't have the time to commit to a puppy. Do you have any plans for any adult dogs available for adoption.
Sincerely,
Shannon and Jason and Toby

Hi Linda! Jan 2015
Pixel is so happy and the highlight of our days. Nick works from home so they hang out during the day, and she is very excited the moment I walk through the door. She ALWAYS has a smile on her face and still has my older dog acting like a puppy (they are best friends). Even the cats are starting to like her.
She got another round of shots two Monday's ago so she's been able to walk all over the place ever since (the vet didn't want her to be on the ground outside until she was fully vaccinated). Now she's the boss of Brooklyn.
Pixel is such a perfect fit to our family. She makes me feel so much joy I sometimes feel like a kid again. I am so happy I found you guys. I've attached some photos so you can see how big she is :)
Best wishes,
Shayna NY

Here is a picture overload! I was finally able to take some pictures off my phone and put on my computer! They are out of order but you can see how hes grown :) Kip is very energetic and loves to play. He also loves to cuddle, if Josh is home he is pretty attached to him but if hes not then he'll be my buddy. He also loves car rides and the snow!

Hi Linda & Dave
(Regarding pictures sent) ... The One Ear Up Ma is too cute. I found a corgi puppy picture with one ear up on a sweatshirt today. Had to have it. I have looked at a lot of corgi websites and I have not found any as cute as Zoey and friends. I am so happy we called you that afternoon. You have been wonderful with your updates and we sincerely have appreciated you. Looking forward to hearing from you and Zoey. Kiss The Flying Nun goodnight for us.
Louanna & Jim Missouri
Update from Zoey's parents she is now in her new home:
Linda, I hope your new puppy is half as good as our new puppy. She has got the two steps up to the bedroom mastered; we need to think gate! Tonight I think she has picked up on body language and "Zoey, want to go bye bye". She has the sound of the squeaky front door announcing the arrival of someone different to play with. I love to watch her sleeping in that little penguin position (so corgi). If her food dish gets empty, she fusses at me to get that corrected. The only thing that I know of that almost scared her was Matt coming in with a black rain jacket with hood up one night, but she figured him out quick. The vacuum cleaner, dishwasher no big deal for a brave heart.
Seriously, I can't think of a better Christmas than a corgi puppy. We all want to wish you and Dave and the Corgi Gang a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Jim & Louanna

Hello and Happy Holidays from the boys. Here is the latest picture of my
granddaughter, Norman and Dexter. Norman is the sweetest most loving guy and Dexter is so so different! He will be the dominant one over Norman I think. He is Norman's best best friend. I couldn't have made him a happier dog. He loves his brother and Dex loves Norm.
I hope everyone is doing great and enjoying the holidays.
I still can't believe that I did not have either of the boys at this time last year and Norman was just born in early December. They really make my day, every day. Thank you again for letting me share the amazing life with my corgi's.
Love,
Lucy, Norman and Dexter

Hi Linda Nov 2014
Thompson is a perfect dog. My vet is a little strict on things. He won't let him run freely in the back yard, no stairs yet and no public places until his last round of shots. He won't let Walter and him play until Thompson is a little bigger. I have spoiled him rotten and my husband loves him as well. I take him with me everywhere. My Mom sits in the car with him. He lives a good life!
Thank you to you and Dave!

We hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving! Bear is doing great and as of today he weighs 24 pounds. It's crazy he's almost nine months old, it seems like just yesterday he was a little puppy! He sure has grown to be a handsome little fella and he still has ginormous ears which makes him even cuter! I had two welsh corgis growing up, one was very lazy and the other one was constantly playful. He reminds me a lot of the one that was playful because he's always so energetic, which is good because we love bringing him outside to play. He still has his moments were he can be naughty, but that's a puppy for you right? We absolutely adore him and are very happy we picked Bear, he's the perfect dog for us!
Morgan and Tyler
P.s. here are the most recent pictures of him!

Hi Linda,
We are all ready for Minnie Mae! She has a nice fluffy bed with her blanket and toy from home waiting for her, along with a container with a bunch of new toys and balls! We have puppy proofed our house and we have the crate fence as well! I just checked the flight schedule, and it is on time! Yay!
I have often thought it must be hard to love the puppies and then send them off to their new families... We will definitely send you pictures of Minnie and let you know how she is doing. Thanks for all of the communications, cute tid bits, and the fabulous photos we have to make an album with! You have taken such good care of them, and it really shows, how much you love them! We are really blessed we found you. I told my husband I had a wonderful feeling from the beginning and that everything I read on your website was so perfect. I just knew it was right, and we have been so pleased and happy ever since. We have shared many updated pics with friends and family along the way, and this has been such a fun and exciting time in our lives. It's just about to get much more fun and exciting!!!
You will be hearing from us in a few hours once Minnie Mae is at her new home!
Thanks again,
Stacey and Family California
Update on Minnie Mae:
Hi Linda,
Minnie Mae is doing great! She is such a good puppy. She has slept through the nights, and gone potty on the potty pad at night. She comes to the whistle, and she clearly knows her name ! I apologize for not letting you know right away after we picked her up. We went to the wrong part of the airport, and had to get back in our car to drive over to the cargo area, so I was a little thrown off from that! When they brought her out in her crate, she was shaking a little, until my husband, son and I all called out her name, she immediately was happy. It was cute. We cannot express enough what a great job you have done raising her! She is really awesome. Really cute, she is like a little stuffed animal! LOL!
Here is a pic of the boys and Minnie this morning.

Hi Linda,
We are all ready for Minnie Mae! She has a nice fluffy bed with her blanket and toy from home waiting for her, along with a container with a bunch of new toys and balls! We have puppy proofed our house and we have the crate fence as well! I just checked the flight schedule, and it is on time! Yay!
I have often thought it must be hard to love the puppies and then send them off to their new families... We will definitely send you pictures of Minnie and let you know how she is doing. Thanks for all of the communications, cute tid bits, and the fabulous photos we have to make an album with! You have taken such good care of them, and it really shows, how much you love them! We are really blessed we found you. I told my husband I had a wonderful feeling from the beginning and that everything I read on your website was so perfect. I just knew it was right, and we have been so pleased and happy ever since. We have shared many updated pics with friends and family along the way, and this has been such a fun and exciting time in our lives. It's just about to get much more fun and exciting!!!
You will be hearing from us in a few hours once Minnie Mae is at her new home!
Thanks again,
Stacey and Family California
Update on Minnie Mae:
Hi Linda,
Minnie Mae is doing great! She is such a good puppy. She has slept through the nights, and gone potty on the potty pad at night. She comes to the whistle, and she clearly knows her name ! I apologize for not letting you know right away after we picked her up. We went to the wrong part of the airport, and had to get back in our car to drive over to the cargo area, so I was a little thrown off from that! When they brought her out in her crate, she was shaking a little, until my husband, son and I all called out her name, she immediately was happy. It was cute.

Hi, Linda!
Tomorrow evening I'll send you some pictures! We absolutely love our Alistair! He's by the far the bravest puppy I have ever been around - and I'm not just saying that! He is extremely curious and very rarely timid. He enjoys herding our
cats. ;)
He went to the vet today and everything checked out wonderfully! He was so brave. He only whined once and that was only because another, bigger dog was whining in another room and his owner was screaming at him, lol. He is amazing! Man, for such little packages, Corgis definitely have a bark, don't they? :)
I did have one question for you! What treats (if any) did you give the puppies? We've tried a few, but he doesn't seem very interested!
Thank you so much for giving us this beautiful boy! We love him more than words can say!

Hi Linda, Sept 2014
Hope you are ready for a little bragging. As you told us, Molly is a smart little girl. She comes when her name is called. Stairs! Well, those are not a problem. We have to watch her or she will get into trouble. She goes up a couple steps really fast and we have to stop her as we are afraid she may move too quick when she is about half way up the stairs and fall. We have an upper desk and a lower desk. She is trying to go up the big steps. The little ones are a snap.
We got some puppy tennis ball and she already played fetch with Don today. She loves running and playing the back yard. She gets plenty of exercise.
She has been doing a good job on potty training. It is our hope that in a couple weeks we know she is potty trained. We just need to get her to tell us in plenty of time to get her outside.
This is the end of bragging for this time.

Hi Linda and Dave! As Ned is now six months old, I want to let you know
what a wonderful part of our life he has become. He loves long morning
walks, is courteous around the local deer, and is always up for a car
ride. We took him on his first road trip when he was four months old,
spent a few days in Telluride, and he was a perfect gentleman at the
hotel. ( actually, he was the hit of the weekend, everyone stopped to
talk to him) Thanks for such a beautifully raised and socialized
little guy.
He says High Five! (His favorite trick) to you both, Nina

How's it going down on the farm?! Just figured I'd share some more photos of our boy Watson! He's honestly the best dog I've ever met. Great attitude and handsome as heck! Hope all is well!

Hi Linda & Dave, Sept 2014 - Alberta, Canada
Sorry its taken me a few days to write you back! No worries about the flight switch, we had no trouble filling the day & staying another night. I'm just glad she was ok. Delta must be good with live animals because she sure wasn't upset about the trip! We came home Saturday & stopped every couple hours for a pee break for Mazie. She is a great traveler, slept most of the way & never made a sound. She was so good in the hotel room! I put a pee pad down in the bathroom then took her to it from her crate when she cried through the night & she used it right away. Never had an accident in the room or her crate (since she got off the plane of course) & hasn't had one at home yet either... she goes as soon as we go outside. I can't believe how smart she is! She has definitely bonded with me already. I love her! I'm also amazed how much she likes her crate... Saturday night & Sunday night she decided she was tired & crawled in on her own & went to sleep. So that makes things easier too. I just wish she wouldn't decide its bedtime at 8:30 so she'd sleep later in the morning! Lol! Just like having a baby I guess! I left her home with my folks today while I came to work & they have been getting a kick out of her too!
I'll send you some pics & updates a bit later. Thanks again for my sweet little Mazie girl!

Hi Linda & Dave. Hope things have calmed down some. The boys are the best. Great friends already and I would not be surprised if in the future Dexter is the alpha! If you have ever seen a angry Tasmanian devil that is Dexter when Norman has played to hard. It is the funniest thing to watch. They are my daily entertainment. Love them much! Have a great week and I will update again before I leave for Italy. Lucy.

Subject: Wallace the smartest dog!
Hello. It has allready been a week. We are all so in love. He goes everywhere with me. Getting lots of exposure to life. He has a great personality. Always wanting to be with us and very sweet. However he does have those moments when he turns into a wild man. We call him the fierce badger when he attacks pant legs amd won't let you get your socks on. lol. You must have whistled to corral all the pups because the first time someone whistled his head spun around so quick. We are capitalizing on that. He comes from where ever he is when we whistle. Of course there is a nice treat waiting for him when we do. One ear has been popping up and down for a couple of days. I am sure the other one will follow. Our cat is horrified by him. Considering the cat was around for a few months before Sparky died I figured it would not be an issue. WRONG. We will get through it. It is going to take time for the cat to adjust. Good news is he still comes around and has not found himself a new home. I once hasd a cat who had two other homes and we never knew it till one day someone walked by and said" Thats my cat" what a surprise. Since then I never underestimate their ability adapt. Hope all is going well with the new litter. We are so lucky to have found you. This time I am claiming him as mine not the other way around and its working. haha. I will send some pictures soon.

Bear is doing great! He's 20 pounds now and has finally lost all of his sharp baby teeth. It's crazy we've already had him for almost three months and that he's almost full grown. He's such a beautiful dog and he looks a lot like Kip to us. He's so playful and has a lot of energy everyday. There is never a bad day with him, we love him so much. He can be stubborn sometimes when he tries to run away from us and we can't catch him, but it's hard to get mad at him because he has a funny and cute personality. We're so happy that we got Bear he is definitely the perfect dog for us! He makes us laugh everyday and he definitely has a personality of his own! We're excited to watch him grow and we couldn't be happier with the puppy we chose. We hope the rest of what's left of summer is going great for you guys!
Morgan
P.s..here are some recent pictures of him! He has the perfect white markings and if you look close enough you can see that it looks like he even has eyebrows. It makes him even cuter!

Hi Linda,
Thank you again for letting us visit today. We had already fallen in love with Molly from the pictures you have sent. But, it really was great to get to see her and hold her. There is no doubt she is going to bring a lot of happiness in our lives and we hope lots of other people too. We will take good care of her and do right by her.
We were very impressed with your wonderful dogs. They have such wonderful temperaments. As usually the case, they reflect those that care for them. Don and I were both raised on farms and have a strong love of animals.
Thanks for the pictures. I love all three pictures. As they say, a pictures is worth a thousand words.
Stay cool.

Just wanted to write and let you know how well Toby is doing. He is
finally starting to grow into those big floppy ears! A few days ago,
he received his last round of shots and weighed 16 lbs. It's amazing
how fast they grow! As of this morning he probably knows at least 20
tricks. My favorite is the "Superman" where he lies on the ground in
the traditional corgi pose. Over the past 10 weeks he's been regularly
attending puppy class socializing with many different types of people
and dogs. He's a quick learner and very well-behaved. In fact, he's so
friendly and kind out teacher has raised the possibility of Toby
becoming a therapy dog for persons recovering from illness at the
hospital. This is something we're strongly considering.
On behalf of Shannon, I wanted to provide you a brief update and let
you know how much we appreciate you helping Toby get off on the right
foot. Shooting you an email is the least we can do. Out of curiosity,
will Jenny and Kip have another litter next year? It might be
rewarding for Toby to have a brother or sister.

I just wanted to touch base with you all and let you know that we have definitely decided to be Tibby's forever home! We appreciate you all allowing us to have a trial period. We have had so much fun with her and she is definitely part of our family now. We look forward to having her around for as many years as she is alive and well
Not now, but one day, with a lot of research, consideration and the right dog, we hope to experience responsibly whelping and raising up a litter of puppies. Thank you, for being a responsible breeder that cares for your animals health and well being. It is comforting knowing that Tibby has come from such a wonderful background. We wish you all many more wonderful years with each other and your corgis!

Hi Linda and Dave
Bear has been such a great puppy! He's already getting bigger. Last week was a little hard with the potty training but this week he is getting much better with it. He is very playful and can always make us laugh! We bring him outside a lot to play and he loves it. Everybody that sees him loves him and we always get compliments about him. We are so thankful to have Bear he's such an adorable puppy! Have a good week! Thank you ...
Update
Wow Bear is growing so fast! As of two weeks ago he was about 11 pounds. We got him AKC registered and he has had his third shot. He's such a great puppy and has a funny personality! The potty training is getting much better too; also, we've trained him to sit and he's really good at understanding it. We are so happy we have Bear; we can't imagine not having him. He gives us a good laugh everyday and he loves being around people, he always gets excited! We hope your summer is going great so far!

Hi Linda, what fun we have been having! As you can see, the cat was
never a problem. I think she enjoys having someone to play with. He is
all puppy, neverending energy, but so good.
Thanks for a great little guy, Nina

Hi Linda,
Those pups are so darn cute! Loved the picture of Dave's landscape
crew. So much love is given to these guys and girls before they go to
new owners, you two know how to raise great dogs.
Had a email from Nina and she was so excited to become Ned's new owner.
She has waited for a long time to finally have a Corgi and she is so
happy to have found you and Dave. She will send me pictures as soon as
Ned is settled in his new surroundings. She is happy!

Hi Linda and Dave,
Dexter is such a good pup! He's so smart and funny. He caught on to house training very quick and started having little to no accidents by about 11-12 weeks old! He's also very energetic and friendly and is very gentle with all the little kids he is around. We couldn't have asked for a better family pet. Feel free to share any of these pictures on your website! :)

Hi Linda!!!
First of all, thanks to you & David for having us at your home on Sunday...we appreciated you showing us the "ropes" on our final decision on which breed to welcome into our home.
Julie & I also likes the fact that you are as far departed from a "puppy-mill" as you can get!!!
We loved the care & concern you bestow on your "kids"!
And liked how clean the facilities were.
If you could, please give us a call or e-mail as soon as your next litter is born, if not 1st, then as close to first call as you can get us , let us know, we already have the deposit money saved back.
Thanks again, & we look forward to hearing from you (both).

Hi Linda and Dave,
Sorry it has been so long. I just wanted you to see Annie. She is precious and she is definitely a little dog with a big attitude. I take her to the office a lot. She loves it. Why wouldn't she? She is the queen! She is very healthy and had a wonderful time at Christmas. She loves all of our grandchildren and the feeling is mutual.
Hope all is well in Salem. I am sending several pictures.

Highly Recommend Nistler's Corgi Corral! My husband and I recently adopted a Tri Color Corgi from the Nistler's Corgi Corral and we had a wonderful experience. The Nistler's (Linda and Dave) are one of the nicest and most caring couples I have ever met. They tend to each and every puppy as if they were their own. The puppies are raised in a beautiful home with so much love and care. When we decided to adpot our pup he was only 5 weeks old and not ready to leave his family yet. While we anxiously awaited for the next 3 weeks to get our puppy, Linda made what seemed like 6 months so much more manageable by sending us photos and emails regualrly updating us on our new baby. If you are looking for a fun loving and intelligent Corgi, reach out to the Nistler's - You will be so happy (like I am) that you did. Thank you Linda & Dave for taking such amazing care of our baby Walter. ~ Ashley & Jared Hancock - St Louis, MO
Linda is a great breeder Buying a puppy long distance was a challenge for me. Linda guide me through the process and I received a wonderful female Corgi. She loves her puppies and treat you as part of her family. My puppy arrive as expected, very healthy and well socialize. She send me pictures every week dealt with my insecurities and made flawless arrangements. My puppy came with her own puppy blanket wonderful detail. I have to control myself but I will buy another puppy from her anytime. She is great and her loves for Corgis is unique you don't see that on other breeders. Sonja - Florida
Number 1 Breeder in Missouri We just picked up our little corgi puppy from the airport this weekend. She is gorgeous and well socialized. She fit into our family immediately and gets along well with our other dogs. Dave & Linda Nistler are friendly & professional in every sense of the word. After receiving our deposit, Linda would email photos of Syndee every few days or so. It was so fun to watch her grow and it helped the children wait more patiently. The Nistler's also trained our puppy to come to a whistle, very handy when you realize how fast they move! Linda very patiently answered all of our questions, and made the shipping experience a positive one. I would buy another puppy from them without hesitation and highly recommend them to every potential buyer!! Denise - GA
Cori breeder who cares We had to put to sleep our Corgi because of problems. We could not find any in our area so turned to the internet. I looked at a lot of sites and breeders before selecting Nistlers.I couldn't have picked a better breeder. Our puppy has fit right in with our family. While waiting for him Linda and Dave have answered all of questions both before and after getting the puppy.If we ever want another dog I know who I would go with again.We will keep in contact with them and provide information on the puppy's progress. Laurie - TX
I recently purchased the most wonderful corgi puppy from Nistler's Corgi Corral! The Nistler's have done a fabulous job of breeding and raising their Corgi's! I was concerned about having our new puppy shipped to us, however Linda was very thorough in explaining the company and the process they use for this. Our puppy arrived happy, healthy, and well cared for! He was already crate trained and has gotten along beautifully with our other dog! He has also been wonderful with our four young children as well! He instantly became part of our family! The Nistler's did a wonderful job of making sure we had all the details about our puppy! We received a very professional package with his papers, his healthy history and immunization records! I would highly recommend them as breeders to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, healthy, well cared for and loved corgi puppy! Leigh Ann - Indiana
Wonderful family raised Pups We recently welcomed a beautiful Corgi pup into our family. Linda Nistler was very professional to work with, and clearly loves her dogs. She answered all of our questions, was available for daily communication by email, and sent us pictures every couple of days as we waited for our puppy. Our puppy, Macy, is just a sweetheart and was obviously well socialized. She's great with children, cats and other dogs. She crate trained easily and house trained in only 3 days. Macy is healthy, very loving and has adjusted easily into our family. We could not be more pleased with the entire experience, and highly recommend the Nistler's. Cheryle-Oregon
Absolutely Wonderful!!! I love my Corgi! Unhappy with Corgi breeders in my area (extremely snooty breeders who were raising show pups for $800+), I turned to Puppyfind and found my dream boy with the Nistlers. Naturally I was leery of purchasing a puppy online and would never get one from a puppy mill, but my experience with the Nistlers was great. They are very understanding and are willing to answer all your questions- which was very important to me being a first time dog owner. Also, after I put down my deposit, they would send me update pictures a couple times a week until he was sent to me. He was very well socialized when he came to me at 8 weeks- he wasn't afraid of anybody or anything! I really recommend getting a Corgi from the Nistlers- mine has made me so happy and I would love to get another Corgi from them in the future. Jessica - Texas
Everything done right I just picked up Mikey (Charlie) yesterday. We drove over three hours from Illinois to the Nistler's. Charlie is a perfect little puppy who you could tell grew up with a lot of love and care. At just 8 weeks Charlie is smart and responds to a whistle which is very helpful. The Nistlers do everything the right way. All of the puppies were happy, as well as the older dogs they care for as well. I would recommend anyone and everyone to work with them. Linda answered all of my questions, even if all of them may have been overwhelming. They really love what they do and it shows with the demeanor of the pups. I am so happy with my puppy and to know it was raised the right way makes me even happier. Kyle - IL
wonderful breeder and pets Drove all the way from Virginia to pick Mollie up from Linda and Dave...worth every mile. Wonderful people, very helpful...answered every question I had. You can't go wrong using this breeder, you won't be disappointed. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks Linda and Dave, for Mollie, we love her so much! She has been such a joy already! Tayunya - VA
I recently bought my Corgi pup from the Nistlers, and let me say right away that I was truly 100% satisfied with my purchase. The sellers were very nice, understanding, and easy to deal with. They made the buying process very pleasant and simple. All of their dogs were great, looked nice and were very well-behaved. You can be sure dogs from this seller will be very well-socialized. I could easily tell that these people were truly concerned with breeding great, healthy Corgis, and if you are looking for one, I can guarantee you won't be unhappy with a purchase from this member.
I recently purchased my new corgi from the Nistlers and it is the best little puppy I've had . They take really good care of there animals an I guaruatte they show them ALOT of love an care. If anyone ever ask where to get a great little corgi I'll be sure to tell the about the nistlers an how there really nice people who take awesome care of there pets Thank you for everything Lyndsey

Einstein is doing great. We took him to the vet yesterday and he got a clean bill of health. He was up to 5lb 1ou. He'll be going back at the end of Feb for his next shots. She was very impressed with him and dubbed him 'perfect', then offered to babysit him for us if we had errands to run. The whole staff was very taken with him. He's just so adorable and sweet. Still a little timid in public, but he's a little wild man at home. He chased his first cat last night, which was pretty darned funny. The boys just love him and he's even been over to visit Grandma. His first 'Puppy Kindergarten' class starts on Feb 10, and he is already getting pretty good at 'sit'. He's a smart little cookie. Lots of pics on Facebook, but I'll send you more through email as well if that's easier for you.

From a prospective new owner:
Linda, thanks so much. We looked around to different breeders and no one had a pembroke. Plus some of the breeders just didn't feel right. We just kept going back to your site. We would look, cry some from missing Katie, then Sarah would say mom we really need one of these puppies. She is 6, and misses Katie really bad. It would be good for her and all of us. Yes we would like a female, but a male would be loved also. :) do I need to send a deposit or do we wait until they are born?

Hi Linda,
Just wanted to send you a note saying thank you so much.
Tucker has been so cute over the last two days. He's really getting along well with Howie and Thompson and of course, everyone else loves him too. If we have any questions or concerns, we'll be sure to call or email you.

Thank you for getting back to me so soon! Gemma is just an amazing dog. Her personality is nothing like the 2 shelties I have. It is true, Corgis are like a bag of chips! I really would like another!
We are really open to what we would get. We aren’t in a huge hurry. There are not any Corgi breeders around in this area. The only one I have found is about 4 hours away! Since we love Gemma so much and she is such a beautiful, smart, healthy dog, we really wanted to get another from you. We were thinking of getting an older one since all of our dogs are older (7, 5 and 2). But if we would get a puppy we would want it to be in the spring/summer just so we could work with him/her outside a lot easier.
Dutchie is a beautiful dog. She reminds me a bit of Gemma! Again we don’t have really any specifics, just want another one!
Here are some pictures of Gemma!
Thank you!

Hi Linda, I received your email recently about the change to your email and creation of your new website. I love the site. I have been meaning to send you an update about Tucker; we have changed his name to Finnegan. I have attached some pictures/video of him riding on the boat and in the car, playing in the river, in his Halloween costume this year, and his 1st birthday party. (They wear the hats long enough for me to get pictures and then we let them eat their doggy ice cream and pupcakes) He is such a doll, and when I see pictures of Little Jack I think he looks so much like his dad. He has turned into quite the Corgi and is weighing in at 30-31 pounds currently at a year old. So he ended up being quite big, but I absolutely adore him. He is such a boy! He loves to jump, rough house with Carly, chase rabbits, swim, and bark. Thank you so much for the opportunity to have him in my life. Hope all is well.
