Happy Puppies With Happy Owners

This box is just some of my favorite pics from our house.

Penny and Professor ( her dad).

Our grandson Drake, with IG playmate.He was already dog crazy at 6 mos old.

Now at 10 months, he is enjoying their company and they all Love to "Help" him eat .

We are working to teach him not to give them his food. He likes to share.

Drake is almost a year old and he wants to feed them- all the food in the container.

He enjoys every chance to "socialize"with pups..

Drake is now 2 years old and loves pretending he is a puppy.

This is our 2nd grandson, Gabriel. He is always thrilled to exchange "kisses" with the dogs.

If given a chance he tries to chew on Gucci's ears.

A real HotDog!

Hi shelley

Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how wonderful Hana is. She is having so much fun and is such a great addtion to our family. So far she has learned her place with the cats- she chases and they run! Her favorite treat is gerber baby chicken hot dogs. She has decided that she needs to take a shower every morning. She is just a nut. She is really taking to her surroundings well and potty training is going great. Thanks for such a nice puppy, we'll stay in touch.

Hi Shelley,

Just a short update on our Tringa. She's completly adapted

to our household and is receiving lots of love and attention. We're

working on housebreaking- I get up and take her out twice a night, COLD out there- and she still has accidents now and then when we dont' get her out soon enough during the day. My hands look like I tried to bath our cat, but she is learning not to bite fairly rapidly. She's really growing and her adult coat is coming in now, and she is much more coordinated. As with all corgis she has a mind of her own but has not gotten to the independent stage yet and follows me around pretty well outdoors as she explores. She sure is a delight! We are very happy we bought her from you.

Scotty and Shirley

Hi Shelley,

Just an update from the family of Luigi- pogo/chance puppy.Have been meaning to write. Luigi is such a great pup,our kids love him so much! He is just so playful, funny, and personable, we can't imagine life wihtout him. The kids run right to him after school and tell him how much they missed him every day. He is doing really well and we couldn't be happier, thanks for a great pup! Poor babe is trying to keep wam in this frigid cold weather! He has lots of blankets and a cozybed. We are almost there on litterbox, he has very few accidents now. Only thing is he is clawing carpet where it meets the wood floor! Strange habit not sure why he does that. You can't blie how vocal he is, he almost talks to us when we get home from work/school! He has so many sounds he make it is just hilarious. He barks at himself in the window when it is dark outside. We thought we had a burgler lurking outside but finally figured out he was seeing his reflection and barking at it! He gives us so many laughs and teaches us to slow down and enjoy life and him.

thanks again,

The Smyths family.

Shelley,

Just thought I'd tell you how much our vet loved Luca. He said that he is more sweet, sociable, calm,and confident than most IG's he 's known. He also thought that his health was great.... good amount of fat and muscle tone. He said we have a great little puppy. Well Done!

Oh.. and here are a few more pictures of him. He is going to my office everyday and doing well with his potty training.

Aimee

New update of Luca- He is now a year old. Still going to work with mom and enjoying the good things in life like sleeping under the covers.

This is Maddie, the fashion Diva.

She saved her owner from a serous mauling, in June 2008. Maddie was out for a walk with her owner. They were attacked by two pit bulls. Maddie defended her owner, but was killed while doing so. Her owner was saved from a much worse mauling by this couragous act from a corgi under a year old. What a wonderful and brave little girl.

We want to remember her grin and loving attitude as well as praise her devotion to her family.

Maddie will be truly missed by her family and friends.

Coco

Hey Shelley, here are some pics of Coco. She is one spoiled little dog that is for sure. My husband took this picture the other day. We sure do enjoy her. I don't think we could have gotten a sweeter dog. Hope you enjoy the update picture.

Take care

These were taken in my (shelley's) grandparents backyard- way back when! They raised collies.

I I thought you might like to see some of where it all started..

Hello Oakview,

Brutus has been home wiht us now since the end of October and boy, Edna and Vern weren't kidding when they told us we'd never have another dull moment. Everyone LOVES Brutus. And Brutus loves EVERYONE... He's such a sweet little boy (when he's not living up to his name that is). He certainly keeps the cats on their toes. Brutus has no idea how very small he is ( at almost 7 months, he weighs 5lb 2oz) and as Tinyas he may be, he didn't hesitate to take Zues's bone (Zues is 145 lb Rottwieler). Brutus Loves going to visit his grandma and he sits at the front door in the morning just waiting to go on his next adventure. He loves going tof walks and tells me he can't wait forthe weather to get nice. He starts his puppy classes this Saturday. And I'm excited to have him make new puppy friends.

Thank you so much for breeding such a perfect little puppy. Our little Brut.

Chanel( daughter of Gucci and Chance)

I thought I'd touch base with an update on the little girl we added to our iggie brood last spring.

She is a monster! She is so curious and playful you wouldn't think her and Chanel are half-sisters. She is into everything

which I attribute mostly to her being a pup yet. She is SOOOOO beautiful. we get so many stoppers when we

walk just to look at her.. She is a little girl, only about 9 pounds as of last vet check in March 2009. Chanel is

still about 12lbs, so she has little Bella by a few pounds. It's a good thing or Bella would destroy her! They play ALL day.

Making the most interesting noises. they both sleep in bed and are such a delight to the family. I couldn't have asked for a better breed of dog. The consistancy coming from your kennel is such a reassurance. When we add another, we know it'll be just as good as the two we have.

They are such a Delight. Thank you so much!!

This is Nick and his new dog Joker.

Nick hopes to train Joker for assistance/therapy

worker. Nick is in a wheelchair.

The family reports that Joker has been a terrifc help and companion for Nick. And they are counting on his help with Nick during several months of upcoming recovery in body cast.

Hi Shelley,

I thought you might want to see some new pics of Bella on her first birthday.

She is doing very well, very healthy and happy. We are still having some potty training issues but it is getting bettter.

She is a beautiful dog and wherever we go, people stop and just have to ask us about her.

She's as curious and busy as you said she was from day 1! She loves chewing shoes ( has ruined a few, even some neighbors and relatives shoes) and paper-- has even managed to snag a few dollar bills my son was unwise enough to leave out! She is as fast as lightning and has made freinds with some neighbor dogs. One in particular is her favorite- Lulu from two doors down. She got out twice when my kids stood with door open too long and she is off like a shot to Lulu's house. She can jump, all four feet up about three foot into the air. Well, the neighbors heard the doorbell ring and went to answer the door and all they saw was Bella. She had jumped up and rang the doorbell by accident. She is a charactor and we love her!

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Dear Kelly and Shelley

Happy to report Maggie is a very healthy, happy, curious little girl. Has a great appetite. She and Tika (siberian Husky) are very good friends, love watching them play. He is so gentle with her, can't say the same for her. We closely supervise their playtime. Maggie is doing very well walkin on leash, loves to go for walks always in a big hurry to get to wherever and loves to pick up everything along the way. She has become the darling of the neighborhood. Everyone has to stop and make over her, of course she loves the attention. I've seen grown men turn into butter when they see her. The red color is getting more predominant on her head also i'm beginnning to see evidence of color change on her shoulders and hindquarters. Thank you so much for the work you do in breeding beautiful, healthy corgi puppies.

Hi Shelley,

We just wanted to give you update on Izzy (IG). We recently moved to florida and she loves the sunshine.

She is 2 years old now and is the best dog ever. She is so loving and demands love in return. I wonder if all IGs are like that.

We live in an apartment so she has to go on regular leashed walks, but once or twice a day she gets to go to field to run and play frisbee. The neighbor kids love to come and try to outrun her- NOT a Chance! I just wish you could see what a great dog she has turned into. Maybe you know because that is the nature of IGs. Sometimes we wish we had two. Thanks for breeding such a great dog. We absolutely LOVE Izzy and she is an important part of our family.

(sorry but no pics)

Shelley,

I am sorry I have not updated you sooner, but just wanted to send you a few pic of Hunter and thank you for a wonderful dog! He is the greatest puppy! He is so loving and fun! We go to obedience class once a week and he is doing fabulous! I also want to let you know that everyone is so surprised and happy to see how socialized he is for an Iggy. When ever i go out with him, everyone compliments me on how socialized and freindly he is. Thanks for wonderful dog!

"Dear Shelley,

I just wanted to let you know, Zoe has been my constant companion during a long illness.She is a wonderful pet and our vet was impressed with how socialized she was when we got her. He also told us she has excellent knees- He told us he has seen many with bad knees but hers are perfect.

thanks again,

Shirley in Iowa"

She doubled her weight and she's starting to get her big girl coat. She is taking obedince training and she's the top of the class ( the trainer alsways uses her as example). She loves to run up and down the ramp on Adam's clubhouse- those two are fast friends. She definitly is part of the family.

Diana

New update of Tory Noelle.She's about 19 pounds now.

My son is camping with his dad and has to call her on phone.. (I swear that dog actally listens)..

She loves to go for car rides. People love to meet her. She enjoys going to PetsMart where everyone knows her and gives her treats. It takes me forever to get out of store because she has to go say hello to everyone. She is a really nice girl. Honestly the best dog I've ever had too. I've been enjoying the photo updates on website. Thanks again for Tory.

Hi Shelley,

It's been a while since "Gus" (AKA Oscar) became pert of our family, but I thought I'd drp you a line and let you know how happy we are with the little guy! He is such a playful little hting, and he's always good for a laugh! He loves to chase balls and bubbles and LOVES doggie ice cream! He also gets along really well with our other Italian Greyhound, Sophie.Thanks for a healthy, Happy puppy!

Shelley,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. We've been traveling a bit, and taking advantage of summer! Soon we're going to all go camping with friends it should be fun, and Figo is having fun with his friends (2 other min. pins, 1 chiuaua, and 1 mixed puppy same age as Figo).

He is the sweetest, cutest, and smartest puppy! He already knows how to; rollover, handshake, retrieve a ball, drop a ball, sit, go down, responds to his name, will come to me if he hears "Mommy" or my name, as well with "Daddy" and Kris' name, he will potty on command, will give kisses when you say "kisses", will squish spiders and ants with his paws, gets off of the furniture when "off" is said, and he will hug your arm if you say "hug". He is sooo much fun and is such a great addition to our small family!

"Hi Shelley,

I just wanted to drop you a line about Timmy. He is the envy of the local vet, dog park and our neighborhood. He has adjusted very well to our home and his big sister (Pebbles our Beagle). They play all day in the backyard and snore all night long. Thanks so much for such a wonderful lil boy."

Timmy, son of Rusty and Professor

"Hello,

We adopted Rex last May and he is doing so well. We are happy to have him as a part of our family. He is great with everyone and listens very well (unless distracted by a "friend"). He currently weighs 22lbs and is great health. Rex loves the snow! We were a little afraid before the first snow fall because he will not go outside when it is raining or even sprinkling out. But he is like a little kid making snow angels in the snow. It really is cute."
