7th Annual Corgi Celebration

Our herding instinct evaluator will be Karen Trimble, a recognized AKC/AHBA Herding judge. She will take your Corgi into the arena to see if he/she has herding instinct.

All passing Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh Corgis will receive a certificate from the 7th Annual Corgi Celebration indicating your Corgi displays a herding instinct.

*All passing AKC registered Pembroke Welsh Corgis will also receive a certificate from the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club Of America (PWCCA) and the right to put the letters PHC after their dog's name. This title is a Parent Club title, not an AKC/AHBA title.

To be eligible for receiving the PWCCA certificate:

Must be a Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Must be registered with AKC, foreign registry or other

Must be 6 months of age or older

Spayed and neutered Corgis may participate

Bitches in season may participate; however, must wait until all other dogs have participated

No prior exposure to sheep is necessary for instinct test

Owners need not be a member of a club or organization

All Corgi entries must have a proper fitting buckle or snap collar and a 6 foot leash. NO FLEXI LEADS. Each Corgi will be brought into the arena on a 15 foot leash for testing (provided by the evaluator, Karen Trimble).

Words from those who came in 2008...

"Thanks. My dogs and I had a great time. Looking forward to next year. Alyssa"

"Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful day on Saturday. As a first-time corgi owner and attendant, we felt very welcomed. What a great afternoon under the shade trees relaxing!"

"Hi Jaime,

I just wanted to tell you what a great time my daughter and I had with our two corgis and one Swedish Vallhund. This is the second year we have attended and it is definitely on our scheduled events each year. Diane with Corgi and Critters rescued two SVs for us when she lived in Houston. The dogs were with a collector and fared better than some of the other dogs. But I have always felt so grateful to her and her group and all rescue groups for what they do. This celebration makes supporting corgi rescue so much fun. And now I want to do herding with Nellie!! That was fun too. Had a great weekend!! Cindy"

"Thanks for all you do for the club and the breed. The Corgi Fest was wonderful. I admire the passion, energy, and generosity you show when putting it all together. You’re one of a kind! Cindy C."

"We had a blast on Saturday. Looking forward to next year. Hope ya'll have recovered!"

"We had a great time today and we are looking forward to next year!"

"Thank you so much for a wonderful day! It was a blast to see all the wonderful corgis and of course the people too! My dogs were so tired - but sparkly clean from their Corgi Clean Up Bath."

"First I'd like to thank Jaime for the amazing day devoted to our corgis and to help raise money for the corgi rescue. Pictures are up! http://www.flickr.com/photos/laneysworld/sets/ "Corgi Fest 08" Penny won some awards, and really had a GREAT time. Don't miss the videos, they have a play icon on the bottom corner of the picture. Hope all is well! Enjoy! Delaney"

"Thank you again for the best Corgi Celebration yet. You did a wonderful
job of organizing and putting this on. You had good help but you are
the one who got it done. Mary Ann"

"I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the celebration this year!"
