Thanks, Linda, for the compliment!

Yes, I think ChloeLouise is GORGEOUS, too - and I think I speak for other people owned by Fluffs, that we are particularly partial to Fluffies! I understand the whole "out of conformation", "genetic defect" argument - but I am REALLY pleased to have my "flawed" little gal!!

I NEVER intended to breed my dog and NEVER intended to show her, so when I picked Chloe out of her litter of 11, I based my decision on her character and friendly personality - however, I confess, I was HEAVILY influenced by her "cuteness factor"... I didn't know there were "Fluffies" at the time we acquired ChloeLouise, but I was naturally attracted to the fuzziest puppies in the litter...('Butters' on this site is Chloe's littermate and she is a LOVELY Fluffy, also)... When ChloeLouise became more and more furry as she grew, I began to question and research. She is probably a moderately Fluffy Corgi - I think Shippo has a heavier coat, judging by his photos... We get lots of comments when we are out and about - mostly "Why does your Sheltie have such sort legs?" and other "What kind of dog is that?" questions! And aside from the grooming issues associated with her long RUMP fur

and nasty mats that form behind her ears, there is nothing different about her than any other mischievious, strong-willed little Corgi!!
Here is a link to my Flickr site - I have a few other photos there of Chloe as a puppy that you might enjoy!

Fluffypants and I both have dogster sites, and I think I have seen Shippo there also - be sure to check those out, too!
