Description:
Mittens is a beautiful 5-6 month black corgi/jack Russell mix with the cutest white paws: thus the name: Mittens. He is clearly the son of a corgi, with the exact body size, body length and the cute bowl legged trait of a Corgi. He is the most attentive of the foster puppies here. He hears everything and runs from whatever he is doing when he hears the door knob turn. He was found on the side of the road in Georgia, with Marshy, who we believe is his sister, and the local kennels were full so they put a call out to Judy to help find this beautiful baby boy a home. She said yes, of course. He is very sturdy and will remain fairly small, basically short like what you think of when you think of a corgi, and very sturdy. He is very happy and loving and at 5-6 months old he is ready for a home that wants a puppy that is a little older and ready to be trained.
***How much do you know about Corgis? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Cardigan and the Pembroke Welsh Corgis have been considered separate breeds for only about 70 years (Cardigans have a long tail; Pembrokes don't have a tail). There are several theories about the origins of the Welsh Corgi. Both Corgis varieties may be descended form Swedish Vallhunds brought to Wales by Vikings in the 800's. Or perhaps the Cardigan is the older variety, brought to Wales by the Celts in about 1200 BC. The name "Corgi" comes from the Celtic word for dog. The breed was mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086). The Corgi drove cattle by barking and nipping at the cattle's heals. His low stature helped him role out of the way when a cow kicked. Corgis still maintain that habit when chasing each other. Corgi is highly intelligent, obedient, protective and robust. Steady, loyal and loving, but wary of strangers. They are willing to please. Several of these brave dogs have lost their lives defending their homes, as they were too small for the situation. A Pembroke Welsh Corgi is well-known as the favorite breed and pet of Queen Elizabeth II. Because of royal favor, and perhaps because of a slightly gentler personality, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi has become very popular, while the Cardigan is not as widespread. They have a life-expectancy of 12-15 years.
