Scout's October

2010-11-05T08:13:00.003-05:00

Scout has had a busy October! We spent a lot of time together with family. He has shown much interest in the sheep at the farm and played with his pals - Lily, Harley & Maggie.

We visited his breeder, Garrett, and saw Ballantyne & Brewer. These pups have all grown so much! Garrett and I decided to neuter Scout so I can concentrate on obedience & performance events with him. Things are kinda slow right now as I wait for this baby to be born but Scout and I have been working on some basics for now.

Also, their momma Ell just completed her championship with a five point major! Congrats mom! :)

Scout is a great member of our family - I cannot tell you how much we love this puppy! Scout was neutered last Thursday and has been wearing a cone because he was bothering his stitches. I think he is over that now - he is just happy to not be wearing that cone (although he found creative ways to do things with it on). He was also microchipped because I am a big fan of those.

A couple more Scout photos

It's been awhile since I've posted so I snapped a couple photos of Scout playing inside. We'll be doing some drop-in conformation classes next week so we'll see how things go. Also, another obedience class is in our future.

Yes, the toenails got a trim after these pictures. They grow like weeds!

Our attempt at stacking...

2010-07-18T21:05:00.003-05:00

I finally have a picture of Scout somewhat stacked. I think his back legs need to be back farther but otherwise I think it is a good representation! He is very good about letting me position him but it's hard to get "the ears".

I really like "Ebonwald's Blazing A Trail"! We roasted marshmallows tonight and Scout was happy to lay between us by the fire and play with Harley (our golden).

Registered Name

I think his name should be

Ebonwald's Blaze A Trail "Scout"
or Ebonwald's Be Prepared "Scout"

Still thinking on it...

Scout's Growing Up!

2010-06-22T16:16:00.001-05:00

He's too cute! We're still working on a registered name...

We Have Ears!

2010-06-07T15:08:00.002-05:00

I took the tape off and the ears are up!

Let's hope they stay up! Scout was so excited to get the tape off his ears and sat very nicely.

Adventures With Duct Tape

I got around to taping Scout's ears today. It's my first attempt but I feel that things went pretty well for a semi-squirmy puppy and my inexperience. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Scout's not sure he's cool with it but he isn't complaining too much. His ears were coming up slowly but I'm hoping this will get them up there!

This puppy is really something else. We just adore him.

Pictures from today

We have puppy kindergarten class tonight. He is coming along okay with the leash. We'll see how it goes. I know that Mastiff puppy will be thrilled to see him. She really wanted him to play last time but we did not have "free time." Anyhow, here are some pictures from this afternoon. We will be taping the ears tonight. We tried before but he is such a wiggle worm and our masking tape was junk.

Born To Retrieve?

2010-05-26T12:01:00.003-05:00

He has really taken to retrieving bumpers. He thinks it great - and tries to give our lab, Spice, a run for her money. He's too cute.

Introduction

Hi all! This is Scout's new blog! He is a 10 week old sable Cardigan Welsh Corgi. I have never owned a Corgi before but I am really enjoying him. He came from Ebonwald Cardigans in Perham, MN (Thanks Garrett!) and the whole family is enjoying him. I just started puppy kindergarten with him last night and I think it will be wonderful for both of us. He does not have a registered name but we will be working on that. ;)
