Monster Teeth!
Yack, Ada's adult molars are in and WOW, she's gto monster teeth! I'm used to big teeth in the dobes, but WOW - Ada's got some huge chompers compared to the size of her mouth!
And on a side note... when do corgis go through their first big shed? I want to be prepared with vaccuum and sticky roller in hand...

The first major shed - I don't think occurs much before Corgis are 12 months old. Had plenty of pups but I can't remember - probably because it varies a little and with shedding there is quite a few circumstances to take into consideration - such as climate, weather patterns, if the Corgi is mainly inside or mainly outside. If you daily comb and brush Ada and give her a monthly bath, then a major shed will not be so noticeable.
Corgis do have a set of teeth and jaws that belong to a bigger dog and that is one of the reasons why they can eat kibble and cut up food that are suitable in size and hardness for medium size dogs. |

I barely ever brush my dogs - they don't like it, and I have never had a major shed or a coat blowing as so many others seem to have had. Jemma recently went through what I call "elk butt" where her backside looks like a moulting elk! Rupert hardly ever sheds at all. Guess I got weird ones!!

Dudley had his first big shed at about 10-11 months, and it was a lot! We do brush him everyday and he gets a monthly bath. Now, he is pretty much back to normal and not shedding much at all, but when he was shedding, he was really shedding!
