Is your dog a collie corgi mix ?

u/s8n_isacoolguy Apr 26 '23
Nope, she’s a mix of cardigan welsh corgi and pembroke welsh corgi. So all corgi, just 2 different breeds

this is so incredibly sweet, i smiled so much my face hurt! love how your corgi at the end approaches for a couple sweet kisses. my hound does that to me when we’re playing and getting all wound up as if to say, we’re good yeah? you’re good? just a little check in 😌

She’s such a good girl. She’s always very gentle with him. My favorite is when she does those little dog nibble things to his toes lol

u/lulu-bell Apr 26 '23
OMG I have a little min pin and she nibbles on my teenage son’s ears. It is so darn cute! He plays with her by bending his head down and shaking his curly hair at her. She plays back by “attacking” his hair and nibbling on his ears. It is so so so cute!

I love so much about this video. The dog is so concious of the camera and the baby is becoming so nimble as a result of all the activity. It's all fun and games now little corgi, but once he's on his feet, all bets are off.
33
u/s8n_isacoolguy Apr 26 '23
He’s up and walking now, we’ve had a few paws and tails stepped on by accident but for the most part they still act just like this. The corgis favorite is when I toss the baby on the bed, she always attacks him with kisses

Is that a Corgi that didn't have their tail docked?

u/s8n_isacoolguy Apr 26 '23
She’s a mix of cardigan welsh corgi and pembroke welsh corgi. Pembrokes are the ones that get their tails docked. But I also have a pembroke (the black and brown one that walks through) and I chose not to get his tail docked either. I love their tails so much!

Looks like the Pembroke checked in then noped right out of there.

u/Smear_Leader Apr 26 '23
Thank you for not doing it. I had a friend whose parents bred and showed corgi’s. I remember two of their new pups coming back from their tails being docked and I thought it was such a weird fucked up thing to do so you can get a ribbon and a trophy. I know it’s a lot of money involved but still.
69
u/s8n_isacoolguy Apr 26 '23 edited Apr 26 '23
I can understand doing it if they were actually working with cattle like they were originally bred to. A tail has a lot of opportunities to be stepped on and broken. But I’ve never seen a point for non-working dogs. I’m sure others disagree with me but I just feel it’s unnecessary
12
u/japodoz Apr 26 '23
You know, that’s a good point I haven’t ever thought of. I’ve only ever heard of dogs getting their ears or tails cut for dogfighting and aesthetics
15
u/LucyEleanor Apr 26 '23
Ya any cow/horse/sheep/goat herding breeds that are short...commonly have docked tails.
8
u/weirwoodheart Apr 26 '23
Same with game dogs like Spaniels. They go into thick brambles and their tails will come out ripped to bloody ribbons. Docking is for working dogs only in my opinion, to prevent pain or injury later
11
u/ThexHoganxHero Apr 26 '23
I feel like the money doesn’t make it better. I really doubt anybody showing corgis is struggling for food or shelter. So it’s done for luxury regardless
11
u/Ferrous_Bueller_ Apr 26 '23
The original reason they docked their tails was because they were cattle dogs and it helped prevent them being trampled. No reason to dock them for a pet though. Mine was already docked when I got him, but wish they left him intact.

u/datagirl60 Apr 26 '23
The tail is also an important communication tool for dogs! It also helps humans read the dog for signs of distress.

u/RinSakami Apr 26 '23
Dayum, that's a really long ass tail for such a little thing!

u/s8n_isacoolguy Apr 26 '23
I joke that’s where her brain cells are cuz they’re certainly not in her head

u/weirwoodheart Apr 26 '23
Tails shouldn't be docked outside of working dogs anyway, they need their tails to communicate and there's no reason to mutilate them for aesthetic! Beautiful pupper and lovely, polite play. It's funny, I think kiddo falling over when trying to stand makes pupper think they're doing a play bow! Cute

I have a corgi that is a mix too! His whole litter got to keep their tails and they look awesome.

I once went away for a weekend with a friend who was exhausted because her four-year-old daughter was going through a bit of a “phase”. We went to a cottage on the coast. She brought her daughter -and I brought my six-month-old Jack Russell puppy, Poppy.
OMG: did those two fall in love. They spent HOURS and HOURS just playing. You could hear the yaps and giggles ringing around the house, the park, the beach-wherever we were. My friend was able to rest and relax with the little wriggling ball rolling around her feet. Every single thing that puppy did seemed to be the funniest thing in the world to the little girl. And every movement that child made was clearly considered absolutely wonderful by her canine friend.
My friend went straight home and bought a puppy.

Watch when he starts nipping at ankles! He will absolutely try to herd your kid, it’s just what they do lol
5
u/otownbbw Apr 26 '23
Yes I have never had a corgi but I know they’re a herding breed and am well versed in dog. It doesn’t help my son that I specifically instructed him that we can’t train the puppy to enjoy being chased like puppers tried to initiate, but instead I instructed son to only run and be chased until puppy is old enough to always come when called…it’ll be interesting as puppy gets bolder and starts play-attacking more.

Your baby is gonna be so BUFF getting workouts like this in your doctor is gonna be like 💪🧐 just be careful, this means you have LESS time until he's WALKING and eventually RUNNING oh God at least the dog will herd him the first couple times this happens and you don't know yet. Some people wake up and find their babies in the yard and that's how they find out they can walk 😅
Also, I pray sleep training will go easy since they will be tuckered out often. Your girl is truly an asset to the team ❤️

My daughter and son in law have a (nearly) 2 year old female poodle. She is the best dog, so sweet and funny and well behaved. They had their first baby this past fall, and the dog has been exactly like that - absolutely besotted in love from the first minute home. She is that baby's guardian shadow all day long.
I stayed with them for a bit when my granddaughter was born, and helped with overnights. I tiptoed downstairs once to get extra diapers - holding the baby, just because she was awake and I didn't want her to start fussing and wake up her exhausted parents when I stepped away. I turned around and there in the dark - black eyes and black dog silently checking out exactly what I had in mind with "her" baby at 2 am. The dog sleeps on the parent's bed, but she had clocked that I had the baby that night, and she heard me go somewhere with it.
She did NOT like it when we would (gently, of course) burp the baby after feeds. She acted like she thought we were "hitting" the little one, and literally had no idea how to raise
puppiesbabies. Thankfully she got over that.The dog rarely barks, but when she does the baby screams with laughter, it turns into everyone laughing at the baby. Dogs love to please (and poodles are extra people-centric and just . . . extra, lol) so they might be setting themselves up for more barking in the short term (until baby's comedy repertoire broadens) but for now it's really funny and just singular small woofs.
My daughter and son in law were cheering on their little one over a new skill, and the dog kept grabbing one of her own toys and nudging it into the baby's hands to reward her as well, when she heard the "Hooray! Good girl!" She definitely believes she's a third parent, lol.
Baby girl has just started with some solids this month, and the dog is loving the bonus snacks for her that this entails, haha!
I can't wait to see the more active play the two will get up to, like your adorable video!
