[glencorgi]

gk,

Gave this a little more thought last night and another possible personality type situation that might be encountered with this little corgi girl is a softer, somewhat skittish type puppy, in which case having a four legged "brother" to help get her back in the "safety" of a litter environment and with patient, nurturing loving humans to guide her, she can regain a more confident corgi puppy personality.

The youngest rescue puppy I have had so far in rescue was 10 weeks old, bought from a pet shop as a make up present by a boyfriend for his girlfriend. The girlfriend has always wanted a corgi, but at this time in her life - she was responsible enough to know this was not the right time. She received the puppy on Friday and I got it on Sunday evening.

That this little girl is only eight weeks old and Mom is seeing issues with the toddler - she may have been a pet shop purchase which means the family would likely have only had her a few days or either from a backyard type breeder (there are a number of those there) and may have been sold at six weeks old.

The breed mix of cocker and corgi - I don't see any issues there at all. Your first few days with both puppies will likely find you with your hands more than full.

This is an excellent of example of why, in the US at least, among the reputable corgi community there is a wariness and reluctance to place corgis in homes with children under five.
