There is an old saying Mama's baby, Daddy's maybe. As distasteful as that saying is, I have news about our little Corgi pups. It is not necessarily good news to someone that is wanting to buy or sell purebred dogs. Our little female Corgi may not be the most virtuous dog in the pen.
Since our pups were about three days old, I have had a little suspicion that they may not be full Corgi. I broke that news to our family yesterday. They all should have figured it out before now, but puppies are so cute they just weren't looking for the tell tale signs of Corginess that they, and honestly I should have been looking for. They all have short legs, they swish their little hips when they walk just like Corgis, but their coloration isn't what it should be. And most important, their ears were not even beginning to stand up like they should if they were Corgi puppies. So anyway, last night I asked our oldest to look up photos of 5 week old Corgi puppies and then compare them to our puppies. After that I said now find photos of 5 week old half corgi, half Shih Tzu puppies. Bingo! Cooper our old Shih Tzu will pass the DNA test. Ponce, bud, you are not the daddy.
To paraphrase the song, he ain't as good as he once was, but he is as good once as he ever was. Ponce is our beautiful 9 year old Corgi who we thought was the daddy of this litter, but last night we had to break the news to him that he is not these babies' daddy. Logan, our 17 year old immediately went into an impersonation of Maury Povich. Ponce deLeon Redbone Helms, yes that is his name, Ponce deLeon Redbone Helms, your are NOT these puppies daddy.
Luckily for us, Shorgies or Shihgies or Corgtsues or whatever they are called are very cute puppies. they all already have homes. These are four of the cutest puppies you have ever seen.
