Houston, we have a problem...

[Bayoucorgi]

or could it be Nameless in Houston?

We got our first Corgi last Sunday. He is 7 months old and came from a Corgi Rescue. We are enamored with his charm and spunk. He knows when to hold 'em and knows when to fold 'em. He's all over our 14yo Golden Retriever and 11yo boy, but he runs like big dog when the fluffy manx cat chases him. Our Katrina-rescued white cat by the same name subscribes to the "if I don't look at him, he isn't there" theory.

We hope to try agility and obedience, maybe herding and tracking. I had a Ch. UD, JH, WCX, VCX Golden before. Anyone in Southeast Houston interested in training together?

Welcome to GoCorgi! Do you have pics of your crew? We just LOVE pictures around here!

Yes Welcome

Would love to see pictures of your new Corg and what is his name please?

[glencorgi]

Welcome! Since you are in Houston and interested in some training options
<http://www.houstonpembrokes.org/> might be a place to start. You could connect with other corgi owners and maybe find some training partners there!

Enjoy your new corgi. I'll believe you'll find him a little different training wise than a Golden from what I hear. Very impressive accomplishments with your Golden though.

Thank you for the welcome. I added a baby pic of our new guy in my album but can't figure out how to make it my profile pic. It won't upload. I took some new pics, and will try to upload them. I love how fast and funny he is. We were playing a game of "steal the bacon (rawhide)" this morning, and he was winning. Yes, this is very different from Goldens.

Did you go to CP at the top and click on that and then either click on Edit Profile picture or Edit Avatar picture and hit the browse button so you can choose what picture you want to load?

Sorry you are having problems, I just brought this up with Stephen regarding newcomers trying to put on pictures; I know it can be very confusing - there is a recent thread in regards to Posting Pictures(I had started this thread)

Definitely need something at the top of the home page entitled "Posting Pictures" that stands out on its own to help people, and not just a thread where new people won't realize to search for that.

Have you tried your nameless Corgi at eating by tracking? It's good fun and its the most natural way for a Corgi to eat his meal. Here's how it goes: Divide up his meal onto four saucers and hide them in various places then tell him to go find his food. You have to do a bit of prompting at the start like maybe showing him where his first dish is, the first time you do it, But he'll get the hang of it quckly. I started inside our house - which is a biggy - and progressed to outsde my jungle-like property and then over at the neighbours who have two acres of ground. So there is plenty of scope. And besides, it is a great way to introduce your pup to the actual sport of tracking.

I will definitely try the food tracking! How fun. The puppy is still nameless. Or nameful. Five people cannot agree what to name this fun little guy. But we all love him.

Look! I'm an Avatar! Here's what the name challenged puppy looked like when his first owners got him. He is never sleeping now. I guess now that it's September, he's 8 months old. He chewed up several things. I need some advice. Please see my crate time thread. Thanks!
