How it all began...




We adopted Tassel (red & white) and Elky (brindle & white), these beautiful eight year old Cardigan Welsh Corgis, on Easter weekend 2007. It was hard for their owners to let the dogs go, but they found themselves increasingly away on travel and the dogs were being shuffled from one temporary situation to another. So with great reluctance they asked Denise Waiting, Regional Coordinator of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi National Rescue Trust for help in finding a permanent home for the girls. Two years later, as I was looking for a breeder who might have a Corgi pup for sale, I came across Denise's flyer seeking homes for the dogs. We met Elky and Tassel and their owners and quickly realized that they were the dogs for us. Since the dogs have been together for almost their entire lives, I couldn't imagine taking only one of them...and besides, I figured that two Corgis would be at least twice the fun (subsequently proven to be the case). Voila!
