[sutulu]

Congratulations!!!!! What a good mother she is! Can't wait to watch them grow.

Susan

[LoveMySadie]

She looks so proud - congratulations to all! Sadie's one and only litter was six...5 girls and 1 boy. Is there any rhyme or reason to the gender distribution in a litter?

Leslie

[disraeli ears]

Hooray for the new mommy and her healthy little pups! Can't wait to see more pics of the little bundles of joy. +WUBCLUB+

[CorgiMum]

Sweet Sweet Puppies!+WUBCLUB+

And what a beautiful Mother they have.

[Merlincorgi]

Aww... puppy breathe overload!!! I must say... Tina looks great only one hour post-labor! Can't wait to watch the puppies grow. YAY!

[mtoy]

Wow, Tina looks great and the puppies - WOW!!! It's really puppy fever here lately!!!+WUBCLUB+

[Jespah]

Tina looks pawsitively radiant!!

Look at the little pups!! Man it's so great to see so many puppies around here!

Thanks Petra, it would be great if you have time to share photos as they grow - uh, for educational purposes, yeah, that's it. :SMILE:

Deb

[jcj528]

Sure, Deb. We believe you just want to see the puppies grow because you want to learn about puppies. Uh huh. Yeah, right!

[jcj528]

Petra:

Tina and Tiger's Puppies are gorgeous. Congratulations on a beautiful litter. Tina looks pleased as punch with them and very proud of herself.

Good Girl, Tina!

How is Tiger liking his puppies? Has he seen them?

[taflar]

First Congratulations on the new babies Petra!!

Is there any rhyme or reason to the gender distribution in a litter?

Generally no, it's just what Mother Nature decides you get.

Peggy

[midgesmom]

Beautiful pups! I've never seen cardi pups before. Their fur is so different from pembroke puppy fur. Will they stay pretty much the color they are, or will some become more brindle as they get older?

[taflar]

Beautiful pups! I've never seen cardi pups before. Their fur is so different from pembroke puppy fur.

I've not yet had a litter of Cardis, but have had several Pem litters. And well, I just have to ask, what makes you say their fur is so different?

Peggy

[midgesmom]

I've not yet had a litter of Cardis, but have had several Pem litters. And well, I just have to ask, what makes you say their fur is so different?

Peggy

In Petra's pictures, the puppy's fur looks short and shiny. Pembroke puppies I've seen had fluffy gray fur and it changed to red & white, red headed, black headed, or whatever their "forever" coloring would be as they got a little older.

[Corginut]

Whhat gorgeous babies! Makes me want corgi number three.:BIGGRIN"

[MVons]

Do pups care which teat? I just noticed they "lined up" differently in the two photos.


Brindles can be hard to determine right away on cardi's especially if they are like Chester's mom who is a black brindle which doesn't show up in photos.

Here is the thread showing Chester at day one - easy to spot, the LARGE one

http://www.cool2bcorgi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=190

This thread shows 6 weeks old to see how dark the brindles can start out compared to later.
http://www.cool2bcorgi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=541

But I noticed some Pembrokes face coloring changes so much I don't recognize who is who from puppy to adult photos. So here is my question, are there brindle pembrokes?

[disraeli ears]

Good grief, Merrie! Chester looks like a guinea pig next to hamsters in those first pictures! :BIGLAUGH:

I think a brindle Pembroke would be a fault (if ones exist). I thought only the traditional tris and red/whites were allowed.

[MVons]

Good grief, Merrie! Chester looks like a guinea pig next to hamsters in those first pictures! :BIGLAUGH:That is a great comparison. For some reason this reminded me to update my avatar. If I could only figure out how my brain works, I'd remember more.

Petra, it is good that you live so far away and airfare is high so no temptation for me. The puppies will be gorgeous like mom, I'm sure. We'll enjoy future photos to give us puppy fixes.

[Kassie]

Yes, we all seek higher knowlege of puppies! Purely academic! So cute, and mommy looks great! Will they all stay that dark, or will they lighten up?

Congratulations!

[taflar]

In Petra's pictures, the puppy's fur looks short and shiny. Pembroke puppies I've seen had fluffy gray fur and it changed to red & white, red headed, black headed, or whatever their "forever" coloring would be as they got a little older.

It's just the color that is different. And remember that in one picture the puppies were very new, only an hour after the last one was born. They hadn't dried completely.

Sable and most red Pembroke puppies have that grayish cast to them as puppies. The tris (both types of tris look alike at birth) don't. They're black and shiny like these puppies. These puppies will be fluffier once they're dry and a few days older.

It's just the age and color here that is different. Both corgi breeds have the same type fur.

Peggy

[taflar]

Do pups care which teat?

Nope they don't.

So here is my question, are there brindle pembrokes?

No there aren't. No blue merles either. Pembrokes can be red, sable, red headed tri or black headed tri.

Well we're going to need more pictures to thoroughly understand this! Lots more pictures. Pictures with puppy faces. :SMILE:

I agree completely! And, hey, any chance of some video evidence at some point?? :LAUGH:

[LaRositaMonita]

I, for one, know that I definitely require further education as to the cultural differences in Cardigan puppy development between the United States and Sweden.

And, um, are any of those brindles available for a "foreign exchange program"!?!?! Because if five is just too many to handle I could generously relieve you by taking one off your hands, Petra :WINK:

Ok, just in case you think I'm totally nuts, it's a variation of RAISING ARIZONA. Jeez I love that movie!

[Petra Marteus]

Thanks for all the congrats! The puppies and Tina are doing great!

Congratuations on your beautiful litter of puppies!

[Shinku]

I love the little girl's "mark of zorro"-ish collar. Very cool!

[midgesmom]

So cute! Looks like those little ears will do a lot of growing in the weeks to come!

[fionafancypants]

I cant even watch this thread, im so jealous! I want a baby boy brindle LOL
they are fun to watch though, so tiny those ears, Jane is right MUCH to grow.

[sutulu]

Lulu was Black and white with brindle points. Until she was about a year you could see the brindle on her back. But she has lost it and now looks black and white with tan points!

[MVons]

Boy number 3 - the short-tailed one - 1 day old Yes he got a "pembroke tail" :SHOCKED:Wow, the things I'm learning from this thread! I've seen tails that don't touch the ground like they should, but never this short...You sure none of the other puppies were hungry in the womb?:TWITCHY:

[dcole]

Hah, boy #2 is doing the flying squirrel already!

So darling! I love watching the little ones grow! So, where does the short tail come from? Just curious.

[Petra Marteus]

So darling! I love watching the little ones grow! So, where does the short tail come from? Just curious.

Short tailed puppies are sometimes born in all diffrent breeds (so it does not have anything to do with Pembroke).

A breeder of German Shepherds got it in one of her litters too..

[disraeli ears]

So, does a naturally short tail stop him from becoming a show dog? :EEK:

[Petra Marteus]

So, does a naturally short tail stop him from becoming a show dog? :EEK:

Yes it stops him from becoming a showdog and he is not for breeding. His short tail also is how do you say? "crooked at the tip of the tail.

But he is a cute and will go to a good home where the will take him to obidient training :SMILE:

Here you see his short tail:

Thanks for letting us share your fun as you watch the puppies grow up. They are just so cute! It really is a good thing you are an ocean away. This way I can't be tempted.

[Anniesmom]

I agree.. Tina does look like a happy momma. The pups are adorable, of course... and I am also enjoying getting to watch them grow!

Adorable!!! Love the names :)

How many are staying at Fromax and how many will be coming across the ocean to live with me? (And how many, i GUESS, I'll be living with other families closer to Fromax?) ;)

[disraeli ears]

Sorry, Heather...they are ALL coming to live with me. :BIGGRIN"

:NAH: I kid, sadly.

[Fluffypants]

They get cuter every week! Love the picture of Grandpa Frodo kissing his grandson! +LUB+

Adorable!!! Love the names :)

Hihi:))
One of the boys will stay with us at Fromax. The girl will go to the southern part of Sweden, that family has a five year old Cardigan girl already. They want to use Arwen for dog shows and breeding :SMILE:

Two of the boys will go not far away from us, one will go to shows and the one with the short tail will be used in obidence.

So we still have one unsold/unspoken for boy :CUTE:

[Jaxerspal]

Jax came back to the computer room to look for the puppies when I played the video, cocking his head all the time, listening to their little sounds! lol

[disraeli ears]

Oh, I saw these pictures on Facebook and figured you'd post them here, too. They cheered me up to see. Puppies!! Who wouldn't smile at these little darlings?? :CUTE:

[corgiland]

Such adorable photos!

[Jaxerspal]

LOVE the nose-to-nose communication between Frodo and Pippin!

[sutulu]

Clearly the cat is sharing his wisdome with the puppies!

They are so adorable. I just saw the video. The howling is a hoot but their first dish of food had me all choked up. Clearly they still want MOM!

[Petra Marteus]

Ohh they really develop fast and learn stuff fast:)) Today they are 5 weeks old, so we have to take some more pictures...

I took some pics when they where 4,5 weeks old:

OMG!! They get cuter each day.+WUBCLUB+
Merry is adorable. I want them all!!!!
Thanks for the pictures, it's nice to see how fast they change.

[Jespah]

I just heard a lot of embarrassing squealing noises while I scrolled through the photos and realized - IT WAS ME!! :EEK:

OMG - these guys are all off the cute meter!!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing their growth with us Petra!! (Do you think Santa could put one, or two in my stocking???)

[disraeli ears]

OMG! They are all so adorable...and getting feisty, apparently! :BIGGRIN"

That last pic of the 5 sleeping is so, so precious. :CUTE:

[Jaxerspal]

Oh Wow, my puppy fix so early in the morning! I may have to go back to bed to recover. They are soooo adorable. That "old chair" doesn't look half bad either...

[Kassie]

Oh my! I feel a terminal case of puppy fever coming on. I declare the last picture to be the winner (if a bit late) in the olympic synchronized sleeping competition!+1ST+

[LoveMySadie]

You are so right Kassie - this one takes the gold medal for sure! And the chair idea is great...wish I'd thought of that. But I'll bet that Sadie would wish it even more! :WINK:

Leslie

[Merlincorgi]

Okay.. you can pack up Mr Sam and send him my way for Christmas. He'll love Florida I'm sure, and then when we get to Germany you can come visit!

All of them are just adorable! *sigh*

[Kassie]

by the way, the video is magic! Whenever we want Maeve and Aine to come to the den to get halters on and they are in their "I know you're up to something" mode, all we have to do is play the howling puppies video and they come running! We have it in our "favorites" now!:BIGLAUGH::BIGLAUGH:

Here is Sam in full action today he got what we call in Sweden "Corgifnatt" that is when a corgi runs around like crazy:))

Sam 5 weeks old running around the table and bowl:

Then Sam took a break:

Bilbo played with a napkin and then with one of our cats:

[Jespah]

Wow - could Sam be cuter!!!!

And, BTW - "Corgifnatt" - is what we call FRAPPING!! Although I love the sound of Corgifnatt! Might have to make it our new official term for FRAPPING!!

Bilbo has some seriously big feet going on there - and Merry is a doll!

[Petra Marteus]

Pippin also took a run around the table and then he wanted the rockingchair:

All of them are just adorable! *sigh*

Sorry, Cheryl, but Santa will be flyin Sam across the Atlantic to MY house for Christmas.

I do agree that the sleeping photo takes the Olympic gold medal, though!! :LAUGH: Can't blame these guys for the late entry...they were just a twinkle in Tina's eye back in August!

[corgiland]

Such wonderful pictures....thanks so much for sharing them!

[Fluffypants]

*gasp* They are too cute! +LUB+

I like the term Corgifnatt too! Must be my Swedish ancestry. Mor mor would be so proud!

[MrsBeez]

Hej Petra,
thanks for sharing all the pictures. All of the puppies (and the big ones) are so gorgeous, even my husband asks every day if new pictures are posted.

The new families of the puppies will be so happy to have the images of their new Corgi.
-Melissa

[sutulu]

I had to clamp my hand over my mouth! They are just so adorable. I want to squeeze each and every little tootsie!

Their little ears and their little mouths! They must be a hoot to just watch.

[Anniesmom]

Oh Petra!!! I want one, I want two, I want three, etc! They are absolutely adorable! The pictures of Tina and Tiger are great too!
Thanks for sharing and keep them coming...:BIGGRIN"

[Petra Marteus]

Two days ago we had to see how much they had gained in weight, once again the girl was the biggest one:)) It is hard to belive that they have gained so much since birth five weeks ago, then their weight was around 300 gram...

1. Arwen 2400 gram
2. Merry 2380 gram
3. Bilbo 2300 gram
4. Pippin 2280 gram
5. Sam 2240 gram

It will be hard to let them go in about 3 weeks, but it feels great that we have found great homes for 4 of them (we are keeping one of the boys) We have to decide what boy to keep soon..

Here is Pippin in the lap of a visitor:

[LaRositaMonita]

Again...you are clearly not keeping Sam, Petra, because he's coming stateside to live with me! I think he's so handsome :)

And, for those of us behind in using the metric system...I'll remind you that a kilogram is 2.2 pounds - now you can convert all the little weights!

Says the Math Teacher! Thanks Heather - saves me from googling to find out the conversion!

[disraeli ears]

Awww, we will miss them, too! +SAD+ It has been so fun watching them grow week to week. At least we will get to see one of the boys on a regular basis.

Those pictures of Mom and Dad playing with their little boy are so cute. +WUBCLUB+

[manymuddypaws]

super cute!!!

[Petra Marteus]

Now daddy Tiger gets to play with his puppies alot since he and the puppies likes it +WUBCLUB+

In the first video the puppies says hi to the cat Fia, 15 years old:))

In the end of video nr 2 you can clearly see that Tiger gives his son Bilbo a bone:)) After that I call for the puppies and they come running towards me:))

Oh Petra,

[Petra Marteus]

Ohhh, now the puppies are 7 weeks old, so soon 4 of them will move to their new homes... Feels strange, but also great that we have found nice homes for them.

In the "Sam running from mom" picture, the look on his face is that of every three year old boy running from mom when he knows he should behave. I love it! +WUBCLUB+

These must be the cutest puppies ever!

Leslie

[CorgiMum]

Yes they are, they are the most beautiful puppies!+WUBCLUB+

[disraeli ears]

Oh, they are so beautiful...and Leslie's right about that "Sam running from Mom" picture! :CUTE:

Have you decided which one you are keeping, Petra?

[colbycorgi]

I have just gone back through the whole thread now and I am certain now that Merry is MY favorite....good thing you're an ocean away....otherwise it might have to be a merry merry christmas around here...

[MVons]

I love the Merry and Frodo picture. Merry's large paws and his ears and expression is precious.

[Petra Marteus]

Thanks everyone for your nice words about the puppies:))

Yes Merry is a great looking Cardigan we both think (and other in the corgi club) that he might be the best one, sad that he got a short tail...... So he is going to a home close to us as a darling pet:))

We have not decided who to keep, now it stands between Bilbo and Sam, the two brindle boys. Pippin is going to a home not far away and they will take him to dog shows, he is also a very good dog in his temper and "construction" (I don´t know the english word).

The girl will go to the south part of Sweden to a home that has another Cardigan girl. They will take her to shows and start their breeding with her.

The one boy that we do not keep will go to a home that will take him to obidient training and compitions and some shows.

We are thinking alot about keeping Bilbo, but we are not sure..

Yesterday all the puppies went outside to play with our 5 adults:

Can't wait to see whomever you choose to keep grow up here on the forum, though:BIGGRIN"

Wow, they are just so cute and it is so nice to see them playing with their adult family members. All of your dogs are gorgeous and so expressive. I can't wait to see the pups with their ears up! :SMILE:

I agree, cept if you decide to home Bilbo he has a home waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over here in washington! :BIGGRIN"

So today the puppies turned 8 weeks old:)) Tomorrow two of them will move to their new homes and the next day two more will go to their homes. Feels both sad and great that they will move... Great because all the homes feels so good.

[Jespah]

Ahhhh, we will miss them all as you will!! As you said it must be mixed emotions in seeing them go, but that's great that you are so happy with their new families.

Will their ears start to go up in the next week or two? Both my Pems that I got at 9 weeks had their ears up at that time.

[Petra Marteus]

And our shorttailed Merry, the biggest in the litter (he was born the smallest and we almost lost him after a few days) will move to a young couple nearby us. They will go to obidience with him and "just love him":))

[Jaxerspal]

Petra, the pictures have just been wonderful. We so enjoyed watching them grow and we'll miss them. Please keep us posted on how the rest of the family is doing.

[corgiland]

Thankyou so much, Petra for sharing the wonderful photos of your beautiful puppies!

Have enjoyed so much watching them grow...

Please keep us updated on how they are doing!

[Petra Marteus]

Ahhhh, we will miss them all as you will!! As you said it must be mixed emotions in seeing them go, but that's great that you are so happy with their new families.

Will their ears start to go up in the next week or two? Both my Pems that I got at 9 weeks had their ears up at that time.


Yes their ears will start to go up soon, but Cardigan have bigger ears then Pembroke and some Cardigan have really big ears like our Sam and Bilbo, so that might take a while... Our Frodo got his ears up when he had turned 3 months old (without help from us).

So in a just hours from now Arwen and Pippin will move to their new homes, wonder what Tina will say. She is really counting her puppies after we have visitors..

I will miss seeing the wonderful pictures Petra!! Maybe you could talk the new owners into providing you with a picture now and then...:WINK:

[MVons]

Pippin and Merry will be close by - good. I hope to see half ears and full ear up photos. Bilbo is gorgeous.

I don't know why half ear up photo always gets an "ahhhh" from me. Can never have enough photos for that very short time.

[Petra Marteus]

On Sunday the puppies turn 10 weeks old and three of them moved on November 29-30th. They are all doing great and we get reports both on the Swedish Corgi Forum and directly to us from the familys:))

Pippin is now called Wille. Here is a picture from when he moved. Daddy Tiger was the one to say "see you later"

[CorgiMum]

They look so happy to be playing in the snow, and that last picture is so sweet!

[LaRositaMonita]

So sweet! I require more periodic updates on my boy Sam :BIGGRIN" Please don'ts to posting pictures!

[jcj528]

Petra:

Thank you for keeping us up to date with the puppies. I'm so happy that Bamse will be staying with you a while longer. I have quite lost my heart to that little guy. He and Bilbo look so happy playing in the snow together!

Do you think the other puppies' families might be convinced to join this forum? I imagine language might be a problem, but we would all love to watch the puppies continue to grow and thrive.

[Jespah]

I love Bamse's eyes - they are so beautiful and soft. They all look great and it's so cool seeing some of their ears starting to get lift-off!!

Deb

[corgiland]

Thanks for the update, Petra!

The photos are wonderful!

[Petra Marteus]

I will try to talk some puppy buyer into joining this Forum, it would be nice:))

I have some updated pictures from the puppies homes. On Sunday they turn 12 weeks old. The only one that has not got his ears up is our Bilbo... So taping them after the weekend if nothing happens...

Here is cute Arwen with a human puppy:

[CorgiMum]

I don't know how much ear help that is!!:LAUGH:

They are beautiful pups, I enjoy seeing their pictures so much!+WUBCLUB+

[Jespah]

Thanks for the new photos - these pups are just adorable!! The photo of Bilbo and Bamse is hilarious - it's as if you interupted something and they are looking at you like - "get on with the picture - we have playing to do!". :LAUGH:

[disraeli ears]

Wow! What Bamse lacks in tail, he makes up for in ears! :BIGLAUGH: So cute!

They are all so adorable...and to think back when they were just little tiny things... +WUBCLUB+

[Anniesmom]

Petra,
Thanks for updating us on the pups! What gorgeous furbabes they all are!! It is so great to see them from mere babes to where they are now...

Deb, Steve and Annie ^..^

[sutulu]

They really are just beautiful. It is so great to watch them grow.

Ahhhh... those little feet!

Since we have a little snow on the ground, Lulu's feet are pink again! I do love little pink toes!

[LaRositaMonita]

Thanks for the photos - especially of my favorite boy Sam!

I love this puppy stage....puppies at the maximum ear-to-face ratio. So funny!!

[corgiland]

Thanks for the updated photos, Petra!

They are wonderful!

[LaRogue]

Thanks for posting the pictures! I've wanted a second corgi for so long and puppy pictures always bring out that puppyitius (sp)! They are precious!

[Petra Marteus]

Our Fromax Bilbo Bagger, the one we kept, almost 13 weeks old. The only one in the litter that has not got his ears up yet... Tapetime!

[gogogiraffes]

my goodness he's so big!! I thought that was tiger at first!

[Jespah]

OMG - LOOK at the size of his FEET!!!!! :SHOCKED: Holy cow!! He's gonna be a big boy!! He is a handsome boy though!

[CorgiMum]

He is so handsome!! +WUBCLUB+

Even with his ears taped.:SMILE:

[Petra Marteus]

my goodness he's so big!! I thought that was tiger at first!

When I saw him today with his "ears up" I thuoght; this is daddy Tiger as a puppy :SMILE:

So let´s hope that he will be the next Tiger in the showrings, Tiger became Top Cardigan Dog # 4 in Sweden 2008, even though he only went to five shows.

Tiger went BOB, BOS and 2nd best Dog overall at three of the shows.

At the World Dog Show in Stockholm, July 4th, Tiger got excellent from the judge and placed 3rd in the juniorclass.

Tiger when he took his 3rd CC at 12 months of age:

[sutulu]

I'm admiring Bilboa's tail set! Looks pretty good to me. Lulu had a rat tail for so long then when it filled out, over her head it went! Don't think it has come down since.

But I do like to admire the tail!

[Kassie]

There is something so pathetically cute about puppies with taped ears! He is going to be a showstopper!

[Petra Marteus]

Today the "Lord of the Ring" litter turns 13 weeks old. After 2 days with taped ears Fromax Bilbo Bagger looks like this:

Yesterday one of the boys from our litter came to visit; Fromax Peregrin Took (Wille). He has developed in to a very good looking 16 weeks old Cardiganboy:)) He is like his littermates á very happy and outgoing Cardigan.

He had alot of fun playing with his mum, dad and two brothers. The three other Cardigans had fun with him too.

Here are some pictures of Wille from yesterday:
