Hey all:

I agree with the others who stated that Michael's comments were unecessary. Sure, give advice if you have it to give. I would caution however, that telling someone that they are over protective...over anxious about their own dog(s) is a little much. We all love our dogs like our own children... many members on this site have never owned Corgi's and know nothing about the breed. If you ask me, a little overprotection is FAR better than raising a pup (who is dominant by nature as a corgi) to be an agressive adult dog. I would rather see someone post a question or concern to gain knowledge or get ideas than to keep making the same mistakes with a Corgi puppy. For anyone to feel belittled by just posting a concern I FEEL is completely UNACCEPTABLE. Just to give a little support to the question. My vet has treated a good deal of Corgi's with back problems and is in fact a Corgi owner herself. She recomended that I get a set of doggy steps if we want Rhys on the bed with us. She also went on to say that we should pick him up with 2 hands so his hind end is supported.

I would say that if you know so much about Corgi's Mr. Romanos, then perhaps you should become a vet yourself. I am sure the breed would benefit from your expertise...perhaps a little tact education in dealing with humans might be in order though.
