Coyote Ridge FarmsWelcome To Our Rural Blog

Maybe you all can help us look for a new dog.  As most folks who have had a working farm/ranch dog know, a herd dog is much more than just a dog.  They become part of the family – the one family member that never complains when it’s cold outside and sees the cattle getting out as a time to play.

Two years ago, the spring of 2009 actually, we lost our beloved Duncan to a careless van-driver, who recklessly drove though our farm-yard WAY faster than she should have.  Duncan was an adult dog when we adopted him.  He had outgrown 2 families before joining ours.  He loved herding and he loved us.  He was neither aggressive, nor was he shy… but he did love to cuddle.

We have resolved that a Corgi is the right kind of dog for us.  We are partial to tri-colored Pembroke Corgis and desire a female.  Duncan was a boy and like most male dogs, he loved to pee on everything… and that is the only reason we desire a female this time around.  My sister Regina is a veterinarian and advocates adopting…so do we.  With that said, we would like to adopt a corgi that may not be fitting in with his current family.  We are not against starting with a puppy, but adoption seems like the best option.

As most of you know, we have some cattle and a few sheep and goats, so we will have plenty of opportunities for a Corgi to express his/her Corgi-ness (if that can be a word).

If you think you know of a Corgi in need of a good home, please let us know.  Again, adoption is a plus but we realize that most Corgis have no problem fitting in.  We are not against purchasing a modestly priced puppy.

Thanks
