Our Corgis

                                                                                 

Cross D’s Little Rascal (Rascal)

Rascal’s laid-back, affectionate but playful personality makes him a real charmer. He happily helps out around the farm when encouraged to do so, but his chief joy is simply hanging out with the family. With a very sensitive & seeking-to-please attitude he has been a real pleasure to train and he is happiest frolicking in the backyard with the children, or just lying down nearby keeping an eye on everyone. You can often find him performing his favorite trick of balancing on his hind legs begging for some love from innocent bystanders with his irresistible puppy-dog eyes. Definitely one of our favorite dogs we’ve ever owned, he quickly works his way into everyone’s heart!  Rascal is a Red Headed Tri Color, is DM Clear and vWD clear and sports a lovely soft show coat.

Rascal’s name was inspired by a section in Mary Gay Sargent’s book “The Complete Pembroke Welsh Corgi”,  in which she states:

“…In the South of Wales, a common endearment, Y Corgi Bach, means ‘you little rascal’. Knowing how the Corgi delights in being a lovable, little rascal, it is not surprising that ‘corgi’ and ‘rascal’ came to be colloquial synonyms…”

 

Cross D’s Mattie Ross (Mattie)

John Wayne’s “True Grit” is one of our family favorites for movie night, with the lovably spunky character of Mattie Ross inspiring our own Mattie’s name. Our Mattie Ross is indeed a bundle of spirited fun, and we love her personality. She is also eager to please and her sensitivity & quick intelligence has made her training a joy. Her favorite trick is to say “Woo Woo” when greeting her family & friends. She is our most vocally expressive corgi and likes to ‘talk’ to us with very endearing noises when she’s happy. Mattie Ross is a Red and White and is  DM/vWD/EIC clear.

  
   

Cross D’s Midnight Star Stella (Stella)

Stella has been lovingly raised and trained by our eldest daughter and easily boasts the biggest trick repertoire on the farm, happily giving “high fives”, splooting on command, leaping impressively over a variety of obstacles, dancing on her hind legs, and much more. Definitely the most athletic corgi on the farm! She loves getting out to meet other people and dogs and likes to greet everyone with an endearing “grin”. She throws herself whole heartedly into whatever she is doing at the time, and is incredibly charming with her full exuberance and love of life. She has provided us with hours of wonderful entertainment! We are extremely happy with how she has matured in personality, conformation and expression. Named for one of our favorite characters in the western “Silverado”. She is DM/vWD/EIC clear.

 

Cross D’s Lady Eula Goodnight (Eula)

A beautiful light red and white with an AKC champion sire, Eula is quite the dream package! Though she has been named for Katherine Hepburn’s character in the John Wayne western “Rooster & the Lady”, she has a wonderfully quiet, super smart & sensitive personality, but with still just enough corgi fun & silliness to make her a perfect charmer. Eula devotedly follows our son everywhere as his little shadow, and lives to please him. She loves meeting other dogs, new children, and exploring, and somehow, despite her very quiet demeanor, always manages to be top dog in the pack. She adores tennis balls, and playing with anyone and everyone. We are all completely smitten. Eula is DM/vWD/EIC clear. 

 

   

Cross D’s Lark in the Morning (Lark / Meadowlark)

May May x Rascal’s daughter Lark is our first born & raised female that we have kept here on the farm! We are so happy to continue this line and, needless to say, Lark has been capturing our hearts and exceeding our expectations since the day she was born. She is the cuddliest corgi we have ever had, and happily spends the majority of her day snuggled on our daughter’s lap or following her around devotedly. She is a fun blend of her parents, but definitely takes more after her father. Faithful and loyal, she enjoys exploring with the family, and is extremely loving with all of our children. Lark is a Red headed Tri color and is a DM carrier, and vWD/EIC clear.

   

Cross D’s Mayhem (May May) **Retired**

As of 2022 May May is officially retired! After being such an amazing mom to so many wonderful puppies, she has earned her time to just enjoy adventuring with the family and relaxing by the fire. 
Her daughter Cross D’s Lark in the Morning (Lark) remains here on the farm and we look forward to seeing how she matures!

May May is a Black Headed Tri Color, and her endearingly sweet and sassy personality  has found her a deeply rooted spot in the midst of our family. She loves everyone she meets and is ever loving and patient with our children. And with her own children! There is nothing more endearing than watching her carefully nurturing and playing with her pups. May May has a more dominant personality that allows her to excel as our watch dog and farm protector. She shows a great herding instinct as she assists us in making sure the assorted cows, horses and poultry are in their proper spots — and she is equally happy to lounge around the house. Wherever we are you will find May May close by – she is a people lover. May May has tested DM At Risk, though it is important to note that her puppies with Rascal are not at risk for DM due to his clear status, and with her other excellent characteristics we believe she has a lot to contribute to our breeding program.
