> Dinah knows everything about dogs! id din't read her whole post, but i think it's probably good....except I would not recommend buying from ANY breeder....so many homeless dogs :( Unfortunately, most shelter and rescue dogs seem to have behavioral/mental problems (understandably), so if you go to a breeder, find a good one.
I thought I saw the corgi my son and I found by the side of the road last month, but no, it was an amazing crossbreed rescue dog that was playing ball on the roof of the local dispensary. Dazzling charm that doggie had and friendly to boot. Some rescues are so happy to be home.
Fascinating about dwarfism in doxies and corgis. And yes, Dinah knows dogs :-)
I read that Cardigan Welsh Corgis do descend from teckel and spritz breeds, the teckel breed being the common breed for the fabulous dachshund. I love my dauchshnd.
He is from circus dogs. We bought him for 25 cents from a Russian traveling circus act. He was not wanted because he does not have 'tuxedo' markings. He's lively, friendly, and puts' every stereotype of dachshund to rest, except for wandering (he is a scent hound, earth dog) and being stubborn (!!!!!!!!).
