I
nformation On Buying A Clover Hill Puppy (when available): Clover Hill Pembroke Welsh Corgis is a small hobby/show kennel that takes a great responsibility and pride in showing and breeding Pembroke Welsh Corgis. We concentrate on quality rather than quantity. We had no puppies in 2009, and plan only 1 breeding in 2010. Relatively new to the show circuit, we will be concentrating on finishing all of our dogs in the conformation show ring. We are also starting to train in herding, which we find fascinating and just too much fun!First and foremost, these wonderful dogs are our pets and companions - we call them our "fearless comedians" and they are all a big part of our family, which includes living in our home, going everywhere possible with us and "helping" us on the farm with the horses. If you do not laugh out loud at least 5 times a day at a Corgi, then something is wrong. Our dogs are with us constantly and have never lived in kennels, although they are all crate trained. They are raised with other dogs, children and farm animals in a loving, active, farm and home environment.
When we have puppies, which is seldom, they are sold with a health guarantee and a limited registration. The puppies are handled with loving care daily and are well socialized by the time they are ready to go to their wonderful new pet homes at 12 weeks of age. Puppies are AKC registered (limited) and a 5 generation pedigree is provided. All of our dogs are health tested, are from champion bloodlines and a couple are working toward their own Champion titles in the conformation ring. We co-own these dogs. Some have working (herding) backgrounds also. Three of our puppies (all neutered) are competing in herding trials. We are emphatic about making sure our pups go to loving, responsible homes and we are always available if you have any problems or questions once you take your new family member home. They leave us with a toy and with a piece of cloth with the litter's scent so that they will feel a little more comfortable that first night from "home". They have also started crate training. You will be given a health record of de-worming and shots already given and a schedule to take to your vet in order to continue the routine vaccination schedule, which helps insure your new puppy's health. You will also be given a week's supply of Purina Pro Performance dog food that can be continued or will allow you to change over to a new food over 7 days so as not to upset puppy's stomach.
If, for any reason, your puppy doesn't work out, we will gladly take it back...at any stage of life. This requirement is included in our sales contract.Do not be upset if we ask a lot of questions, probably more than you will ask, when you make an inquiry about our puppies. Do not be upset if we ask to come to your home and evaluate it before we make a decision to sell you a puppy. Don't take our scrutiny personally - it's all about the well being and safety of the puppy. A happy puppy makes for a happy family situation. We encourage the new owners to come out often and visit with the pups after the age of 7 weeks as often as possible before they "leave our nest"; however, we discourage bringing other dogs to "meet" their new family member. First, the puppy's immune system is not complete so they are susceptible to diseases (they need 3 to 4 vaccinations and boosters until the age of 12 or 16 weeks to be considered immune to these too often fatal diseases) and second, the "older child" may get jealous. We provide training tips on introducing a new puppy into the household. It is understood, and written in the sales contract, that the new family member will not stay outside 24/7 for any reason. Another requirement is that the puppy will have a fenced yard or will be under constant supervision while outside. Also, at the age of 7 weeks, we give all puppies a thorough test on many aspects of their personality, which will be provided to the new puppy's family.
Puppies are sold with a spay/neuter contract. AKC registration papers (limited) will be held by Clover Hill until proof of spaying/neutering is presented. References provided upon request from puppy owners, our veterinarians and fellow breeders.
After our evaluation, if you are approved, you will be put on our waiting list. You will be notified within 5 days of their birth. A female can be confirmed pregnant at about 32 days after breeding and we will notify you that puppies are expected. We take deposits only after meeting you in person. We strive to match puppies to their new families. Puppies have different personalities and it is impossible to "match" a puppy to a human before about 7 weeks of age (or longer). If, when we meet and you see the puppies, we will gladly take a deposit to hold a puppy for you until they are ready to leave.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi Folklore:
Legend has it that the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is enchanted. As in all legends, the tales differ. Since they come down by word of mouth, they have varied a bit with each succeeding generation and may even vary from locality to locality. Some of the old men in the mountains vaguely refer to the Corgis that were "left by the fairies" far back in the mists of time.
Another such legend provides a charming tale for the curious of how the Corgi came to live in the hills of southwest Wales. According to this legend, two young children out tending the family's cattle on the king's land found a pair of puppies which they thought were little foxes. When the children took the puppies home, they were told by the menfolk that the little dogs were a gift from the fairies. The "wee folk" of Welsh legend used the small dogs either to pull their carriages or as fairy steeds. As the fox-like puppies grew, they learned to help their human companions watch over the cattle, a task which was to be the duty of their Corgi descendants for many centuries to come. Should anyone doubt the truth of the legend, the present-day Welsh Corgi still bears the mark over his shoulders of the little saddle used by his fairy riders.

Some Interesting Puppy Facts:
At birth puppies are deaf, blind, and have almost no sense of smell. They stay near their mother and siblings because of the warmth.
A puppy's eyes do not open until it is 10 to 15 days old. Its vision is usually not complete until it is about four weeks old. Hearing begins at about the same time as eyes open.
A female carries her young about 63 days before the puppies are born.
Puppies should remain with their mother until they are at least seven weeks old. During this time, she will teach them not to bite or be aggressive and how to get along with other dogs.
During its first week, 90% of a puppy's time is spent sleeping and 10% eating.
At the age of three weeks a puppy will develop its sense of smell.
A puppy will sleep for fourteen hours every day.
A puppy is considered an adult at the age of one year. At this age it is as physically as mature as a fifteen year-old human.
When the pup is three to four weeks old, 28 teeth will break through the gums so the puppy will be able to eat solid food. At 4-7 months of age, the baby teeth fall out and are replaced with 42 permanent adult teeth.

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand
between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly
teach me the things you would have me do .
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you
must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon
my waiting ear .
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a
domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements .
And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet
beside the hearth. Though had you no home, I would rather
follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the
warmest home in all the land, for you are my god and I am your devoted
worshiper .
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach
you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your
bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready willing and able to
protect you with my life should your life be in danger .
And should the great Master see fit to deprive me of health or sight, do
not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as
skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest - and I will
leave you knowing with the last breath I drew that my fate was ever
safest in your hands .
This was a 'Dear Abby' article I found in the mid 90's and came across
it in a file the other day.
It was written by Beth Norman Harris
Keep your animals warm this winter - bring them inside!

Are you ready for a puppy? It's a human problem - that is the problem of all those 5 month to 2 year old young adults in the pound. If you won't take your dog to training classes and socialize your pup, then get a stuffed dog - not a real one!
*Pour cold apple juice
on the carpet in several places and walk around barefoot in
the dark.
*Wear a sock to work
that has had the toes shredded by a blender.
*Immediately upon
waking, stand outside in the rain and dark saying, "Be a good
puppy go potty now - hurry up - come on, lets go!"
*Cover all your best
suits with dog hair. Dark suits must use white hair and
light suits must use dark hair. Also float some hair in your
first cup of coffee in the morning.
*Play "catch" with a
wet tennis ball for hours.
*Run out in the snow
in your bare feet to close the gate.
*Tip over a basket of
clean laundry, scatter clothing all over the floor.
*Leave your underwear
on the living room floor, because that's where the dog will
drag it anyway. (Especially when you have company.)
*Jump out of your
chair shortly before the end of your favorite TV program and
run to the door shouting, "No no! Do that
OUTSIDE!" Miss the end of the program.
*Put chocolate pudding
on the carpet in the morning, and don't try to clean it up
until you return from work that evening.
*Gouge the leg of the
dinning room table several times with a screwdriver - it's
going to get chewed on anyway.
***Take a warm and
cuddly blanket out of the dryer and immediately wrap it
around yourself. This is the feeling you will get when your
puppy falls asleep on your lap. -author unknown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This "letter" is from a puppy that has been taken to the pound for HUMAN PROBLEMS!! We hope this breaks your heart and makes you cry as it did when we read it.......this happens hundreds, even thousands of times a day throughout the country! It's a sin and we can't understand how anyone could do this. We screen our potential puppy owners extremely well and have a sales contract that specifically states that we must have the dog back if for any reason the puppy (for the rest of its' life) does not work out or cannot be kept by the adoptive "parents". We will then place the puppy or dog in a suitable, great home for the owner. We hope that this "letter" brings home the importance of the responsibilities of a puppy owner: Dear Mom and Dad, You got tired of me and took me to the shelter. They were
overcrowded and I drew an unlucky number. I am in a black
plastic bag in a landfill now. Would I still be at home if you had taken the time to care for me correctly, spend time with me and teach me manners? You didn't pay attention
to me after the first few weeks, but I spent every waking
minute of my short life waiting for you to just love me. |
