Does she mean a coolieflower clkd? You just never know with Sheila 

[CLKD]

Reading this morning about the Queen's corgis it is evident that the 1st few that were given to the Palace are a lot different to the Pembrokeshire that is bred in recent years.  Known as 'ankle nippers' because they herded cattle on droves, to keep them moving the little dogs would rush in, nip the beasts' ankles then dash out of reach.

groundhog - How is Barney settling ?

Not keen on corgis at all,big dogs with short legs 

[C.C.]

I think corgis are adooorrrrable!  There's one that walks past our house everyday (with his owner of course) and I love watching his little legs go a mile a minute to keep up

[CLKD]

C.C. - what colour ?  I met one recently for the 1st time in all the years of chasing dogs (long story short  ) and she was adorable.

I think there are different types of corgi, and they are very different in size. Is it Cardigan and Pembroke? Friends had one when I was young and it was massive. Legs were short but body was longer than mine at the time. The Queen's look a lot smaller, and I did meet one a few years ago that was also smaller. Have to say they're not my favourite breed.

groundhog - How is Barney settling ?

He's a Pembroke corgi, white with light brown and he's floofy lol.

[CLKD]

Cardigan corgis have tails traditionally and are found in different colours schemes, where as Pembrokes tend to be pale tan and white.  Some corgis are born stumpy.  The Queen's corgi met up illicitly with her sister's dachshund = "DDDorghi " which are smaller .......

Ankle nippers  .

groundhog - he sounds delightful!  Is he over the chewing and peeing yet?

AGAIN 

Inspectors found a range of animals, including 35 dogs, living in "appalling" conditions at a farm used for dog breeding.

Some of the animals had to be put to sleep following the visit to a farm in Whitchurch, Shropshire.

Alison Bransby was jailed for 22 weeks after admitting offences including breeding and selling puppies without a licence.

She admitted 17 welfare charges and was banned from keeping animals for life.

Her daughter, Kayleigh Bransby, also admitted nine offences at the hearing at Kidderminster Magistrates on 6 October and was given an 11-week jail term, suspended for 12 months.

Pretty cocker spaniels; a Great Dane bitch trying to deliver a litter; Akita and other large breeds - kept in stalls like horses.  Commercial breeding as 1 would breed chickens.  Pups left in baskets with no food/water  . Many of these are advertised with high street Pets ........ shop.  As well as having KC registration even though the KC has never been to these premises.

That's 1 way to stop puppy farms, is for KC to visit every establishment, however: very view are registered with the LAs so breeding goes on 

[jaypo]

It'll never be stopped clkd,when I worked as a dispenser our lovely drug addicts all had staffies and used to get pups off them to sell down the pub so it gave them money for their drugs,so if they can do it easily,so can anyone

[CLKD]

Yep.  "Puppy Watch" was active in the 1980s ....... she and I worked together remotely - in that we never met - trying to warn people 

[CLKD]

Watching Graham with a chocolate/tan Doberman and an American Bulldog - the Dobe doesn't wave her tail at all, even when getting treats  .  The Bully is quite friendly with other dogs though very boisterous, his tail wags.  He also slobbers.    They are play fighting in a field ......... not sure about that with 2 large dogs!
