Little confused about the coat, thought pembrokes had short coats, but that one seems a little fuzzy. Cardigan? I thought they looked a little different in the face tho. Adorable tho.

[brytlea]

Oh, I should have read further. Is that a pembroke then?

[gorush]

Yup, Pembrokes all.

Your new baby is getting big!

[brytlea]

So cute. We had a little corgi mix years and years ago. He was bigger than a corgi (and maybe he wasn’t corgi at all, but the shelter called him a corgi mix, and he did look like maybe a sheltie x corgi). I always thought perhaps down the road when I was not up to my big dogs a corgi for us, but not where we live now as I don’t have a fenced yard. I think they might be dashers. :)

He has easily surpassed Dagny, he is now bigger and heavier...yet only 6 mo., Dagny is 18 mo. These are from today.:

Great photos. Adorable dogs. :)

[gorush]

They certainly like to run being the herders that they are. These two are our 2nd and 3rd Corgis (the first, Jake, died at about 14 1/2 yrs, when Dagny was 4 mos. and Miles wasn't yet a gleam in his father's eye.)

This is another of Milo.

Yes, we live in a small house here, with a small unfenced back yard (has hedges, it’s really contained, but they could scoot out the hedge). My golden doesn’t run off and is good off leash, but I wouldn’t trust a small dog not to think, “you know, there might be something cool on the other side of that hedge” and there’s no way I could get over there before they could be gone.

But, when we retire and get out of here, that’s one breed I would seriously love to consider. Heck, who knows, maybe my husband would even let me have a couple of sheep to herd... ;)

Former neighbors of mine had two of them———georgeous dogs.

RFTA!

The SECOND sentence reads (I cut and paste for those incapable of reading more than one sentence at a time)

A hiker spotted Hurley on Thursday near Mosquito Creek and owner Darwin Schandor hired the North Shore Rescue team to bring him home.

Some people...

“mountain climbing, no doubt”

Not very good at it, obviously.

At least I’m not hijacking the thread. ;-)

Hurley was very lucky he didn't meet some of the locals.

Ever tried flyball?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Thanks for the gif, JoePB!!!

"Ever tried flyball?"

No, I had never heard of it. I "dogpiled" it. Very interesting, thanks. I'm sure we will never do all that... and those other dogs should feel thankful for that, Dagny is something, of course I'm as biased as they come.
