Welcome, Ein!

We are officially welcoming home Ein, our newest family member and four month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi! 

We drove to Ohio the other morning to meet the breeder and pick him up, and omg!  What an amazing dog!  Even the breeder was sad to see him go she loved him so much.  And he is a doll, a totally amazing dog.  The whole ride home he hung out quietly (some of that due to sleeping!) in the back seat with my husband, not making a fuss at all!  Even when we got home he was great.  And having never owned a Corgi before, I was surprised by how smart he was.  Those of you with Corgis may be shaking your head by that completely obvious fact, but I was stunned.

The other thing that really impressed both my husband and myself, is how amazing the dog is simply because he spent his first 4 months with his breeder and their family.  There is something to be said for the training dogs receive when they learn to live with a pack, for one, and learn proper training from a young age - including potty training and crate training.  Wow.  Absolutely, 1000% recommending buying from a breeder.  But do your homework.  NOT a "for sale" breeder, but a breeder that doesn't breed often, is picky about which dog is placed with you, and wants to stay in contact.  That is a good start to knowing you have a good breeder.  And ours was GREAT!

Day 2 and so far Ein is happy and adjusting well.  We often find him lying spread eagle on his back while he sleeps or plays with a toy.  It's super cute.  And we are super excited to share more in the future!
