The first time I saw Riley she was a greyish-brown little creature with flopped ears like her two other sisters. I got pick of 3 girls and met them at 6 weeks old. The day I went back to pick her up, I remember yelling - "look she's a Corgi now!!!!" - her ears were up!

I had pick of three boys for Rupert and had been seeing photos of him and his brothers for 5 weeks before picking him up. The first photo I saw of him on the internet - didn't show his face, but yet I told a co-worker - look that's my boy! I wasn't totally sure which brother I would take when I left for Indianna because of their personalities. When we pulled up the drive, the breeder stepped out of the house with a newly bathed and fluffed up 9 week old tri-colour puppy under each arm! Rupert had been reported to be shy with people and a mommie's boy so I had some concerns. I lay on the gound and he climbed all over me - chewing and licking - that was it - he was mine!!!! Well worth the 18 hour drive there and back.

In the first photo I saw of Jemma, she had an expression that seemed so sad on her face and she was much older than I thought I wanted a dog at. I immediately emailed the breeder back and said no thank you. When convinced by many of you here I should consider an older pup, 7 months, I agreed to take Rupe and go meet her. The breeder opened Jemma's kennel door and this goofy, gangly little creature came flying out and started chasing butterflies and cavorting around the yard. When she realized there was a new person there, she came gamboling over and leapt into my lap and proceeded to lick me to death. That was it - we brought her home the next weekend.
