Autumn - Cardigan Welsh Corgi Dog for Adoption in Newberg, Oregon

The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is an ancient, sturdy herding dog known as a "big dog in a small package". Standing 10.5 - 12.5 inches tall and weighing 25 - 38 pounds, they are heavily boned, powerful working dogs with distinct long bodies, short legs and a fluffy foxlike tail. Cardigans are farm dogs; they were bred to herd cattle, chase off predators, hunt vermin, and protect the property. Cardigans possess incredible problem-solving skills, independence, and have an occasional stubborn streak. They need an owner who provides clear, consistent boundaries and positive, engaging training. It is also important to note that due to their build they require proper supportive lifting, stairs/ramps to get to up/down safely, to be discouraged from high jumps, and to make sure they don’t become overweight, as these will put major strain on their spine and joints.

Autumn is a female 12-week old Cardigan Welsh Corgi from the Fall Litter. She has radar dishes for ears, and yes, she can hear you talking about how amazing her eye makeup is! She loves to investigate new things, and sometimes it can be hard to pull her away from them. Autumn’s herding instincts are strong and she will need consistent training to curb her stubbornness. She is a clever girl and food motivated which will make training easier. She’s got a voice as big as her ears and she isn’t afraid to use it. She loves ear massages and will roll over for belly rubs and will give you many kisses. She loves playing with all types of toys (pretty much anything that moves.) Autumn can be timid in new situations; an older dog in the home will bring out her confidence.

What’s Needed in their Forever Homes
These puppies will require owners with base breed, working or herding dog experience. Because these puppies are an active working breed going through typical puppy mouthiness and herding behaviors, we are asking for a home without toddlers or small children ages 7 year and under, or individuals with fragile skin or balance issues. Their alert barking also makes shared-wall living challenging without consistent training. These pups can be timid in unfamiliar environments and will need early socialization outside the home once they are UTD on vaccines. They need families committed to positive-reinforcement training, mental enrichment, and continual socialization to help them grow into the polite, confident adult dogs they are destined to be!

Adoption fee is $450. She is fixed, chipped, dewormed, flea treated, started on vaccines, had a wellness exam and comes with a free wellness exam at Guardian vet care for the first 60 days.
