People who show often have multiple dogs but are not necessarily puppy mills. Then again, there are commerical breeders who show once in awhile to look respectable. Just trying to figure out which this guy is. Maybe send me his name in a private message and I can tell you if I've heard of him?



There are corgis who should weigh less than the "ideal" in the standard. How much do you feed her each day, and what are you feeding her?

Also how old is she? And have you had her thyroid checked?

Well first we asked him how many litters he has at his house and then we asked how many puppies he has at his house right now...Also when i said show he didnt specifie but he is a big horse person and has a reputation of selling his pups at horse shows so that is what i meant. he also has 3 different types of dogs, jacks, corgis, and yorkies. he acted like a salesman, he is also not a member of any clubs

As for megan, she is 11 (look at my sig), i feed her 1/4 cup of purina senior, and a teaspoon to a tablespoon of wet food. 2 milkbone cookies a day, and a little trears hroughout the day

Try subsituting raw veggies for her treats during the day. This is a case of "do as I say, not what I do". sometimes I have the veggies handy and she loves them too.

i have tried but she doesnt liek them... se will eat them because she is hungry and she can (she eats everything) but i practically have to roll it around the floor, play fetch with it, and beg her to like it

When you said show I was thinking dog show not horse show.

Ok, so he's a commercal breeder at best, a puppy mill at worst.

At her age, a thyroid problem would not be uncommon. Have you had her checked for that? If not I suggest you do. Cut out the little treats throughout the day and break ONE milkbone in to peices. Give her a tiny peice at a time. They like the treats not the size.

I'd cut back on the canned food too.

Please get her thyroid checked. Excess weight can cause heart problems, kidney problems and so on and cut her life short.
