Haystack Acres' Corgis get Breeder highlight in the October 2006 issue of Family Pet magazine!

Hi Lynn! I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how the puppy (Arrow) is doing. Her name is now Miss Suzy Q, and she is wonderful! She is full of life, very healthy and smart as a whip. We've already started some basic training. When we took her to the Vet for the first time, she asked us how long we'd had the puppy and where we got her. When we told her we purchased her from a breeder in Colorado, she was absolutely flabbergasted. She said she had never seen a puppy that healthy come from a breeder. She was really impressed with her heath and well-being and her socialization. She ran some basic tests she runs on all new clients, and she couldn't stop talking about how healthy and beautiful the puppy is. When we walk into the Vet's office, everyone on staff wants to hold her and love her.
I've given your web site to everyone who expresses an interest in the Pembroke Welsh Corgi breed. I have no idea if any of them will make a purchase, but I sincerely hope so. We're even thinking about getting a playmate for Suzi when we can afford another puppy. Thank-you so much for the care and effort you put into your business. From everything we've heard, you are the exception rather than the rule, and we are really glad we purchased from you.
Sincerely,
Deborah Brown

Hi Lynn:
Thought I would drop you a note and send an updated pictures of Barkly.
He is such a joy! A total character in his own right (and he knows it)!
Favorite toy - plush lamb toy with a squeaker! He can make it squeak in numerous tones and cadence. Barkly also learned to swim in our pool this summer. At first he wanted nothing to do with the pool. I finally coaxed him onto a raft that is stable enough for him to run back and forth on (barking of course) until he is ready to take the plunge! Now he jumps off the side of the pool, onto the raft and swims around like he owns the pool.
We are considering another Corgi. I have been back on your web site and noticed you have some new dogs and are expecting puppies. Please send me information! By far, you have the nicest Corgis we can find. We are constantly stopped whenever we have Barkly out and about - he is such a handsome dog!
Thanks again .

Hi Lynn,
Here are the pictures of Scott and me with Glen and Emma I promised. I just wanted to tell you again how much we love these dogs. I researched for 6 MONTHS because there are so many back yard breeders and puppy mills, I wanted to make sure I found a responsible and reputable breeder. I still remember our first trip to your place. I was immediately impressed--all the dogs were obviously happy and healthy and well behaved. It was clear they got a lot of love and attention. I thought it was great that instead of your typical "kennel" of cement floors and chain link that look like a shelter, they have beds and their own little yards and toys and a buddy to hang out with.
You were so patient answering all my questions about corgis. I'm so glad we got Glen. Obviously, because less then 6 months later we got Emma! It's true-these guys are addicting, you can't have just one! Glen is your typical corgi; loving attention and a bundle of energy. He'll lick you to death if you let him. Emma is so laid back, the only thing she barks at are the squirrels. She'll happily lounge in your lap for hours. I get so many comments on how cute and great they are- especially Emma. There have been a couple times at the dog park I think people would have snuck her home with them if they could! I always give them your name and number.
I love having both a normal haired, and a fluffy corgi. People recognize Glen as a corgi, and then ask me about Emma and are always surprised to learn about the recessive fluffy gene. I could probably go on and on about how great they are with people of all ages, great with the cat, the other dog, and the dogs at the dog park. They love car rides, walks--they really are our buddies. Someday when we have acreage we will be back for more!
Thank you so much for everything!

Our family just wanted to thank you so very much for allowing us to expand our family with one of your pups. We are so happy with Tater. She is a wonderful addition to our family and I just can't put into words how much she means to us. She is smarter than my 12 year old son (LOL - just kidding).... I will never get a different breed again, and we hope to add another pup from you in a year or so. So once again thanks and take care

Miss Dancing Tater Tot

Hi Lynn..... Megan is just the best little traveler. She slept all the way home from the ranch, with stops at Wal-Mart and the grocery along the way. She behaved her little self in the stores and for a few 4+ hour drives while we were in CO. Not a peep out of her until we got to the boarding area at DIA when she started to cry and even howl a little. I covered the Sherpa bag with my sweater and she quieted right down. Must have been too much stimulation. She repeated the noise making while I waited to get into TGI Friday's at the Atlanta airport, but was quieted again by covering the crate. I took her into the ladies room at the airport, put down a tinkle pad, and she used it on cue. Other than nibbling on toes, which is painful at times, she has been perfect. I know she will outgrow it and we will just have to wear toe guards of some sort in the meantime. The time at the cabin was good bonding time as she was lying down with her head on my foot by the time we returned home. She adjusted very easily to being in a completely different environment. Just didn't know what to think of the squirrel that guards the birdseed, and he wasn't too sure about her, either. Our last evening there, she played on the deck while I sipped on wine and watched the birds. She is a great little companion, and loves playing with my two year old granddaughter. We are working on the command "Come" which so far is hit or miss. Thank you so much for making my life even better. ~Update~ Megan is doing well and is about to begin obedience class on Wednesday. The vet's office loves her as she has single handedly changed their minds about herding dogs as pets. She loves to play fetch and is very social with people, children and other dogs. I thank you, Lynn and the Corgis at the ranch for that. She hasn't met anyone she doesn't like. Even the UPS and FedEx delivery men! She learns faster than any dog I have ever known. She is a bit of a nipper still, so I am hoping that will change as she settles down some more. Rim and I have been looking at single family homes in the area so that Megan and our grandchildren will have a fenced yard to play in. For now she must be on a leash at all times when outside. Maybe she will do well enough in school that I can trust her off lead someday. I am hoping to drive her out to CO some time in the future so she can spend time at the cabin with us and maybe visit you in Longmont. I am almost afraid she will like it so much she won't be happy here anymore. Megan has become quite the snuggler when we watch TV at night. She also loves belly rubs. Rim says she is the best dog we have ever owned. Give Kandy a hug for me. We finally got around to registering her with AKC. Her official name is now Honeyfox Oh My Megan. She should be nearly ten months by the time she completes obedience training and by then will be ready for a sport, like flyball, agility, or herding. I want to see what she is best at and let her play. Whatever she chooses, I know she will love it. Betsy Bishop Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
Megan
A puppy at Haystack Acres. "I wonder if there's any bugs under here?"	Megan still likes this little bed she had as a wee pup. It was in her first crate when I brought her home from the ranch. You can see how much she has grown.....just over 24 pounds!	Watching her favorite TV dog show!

Dante is a majestic and courageous little guy who carries himself in a regal manner as if he believes he is of Royal Blood. He loves activity and yet he can occupy himself very well off by himself. He is unbelievably athletic and has a most wonderful sense of humor. He is healthy as a horse and has an appetite to match. He is fairly calm for a puppy but he likes to talk a lot (very expressive about what he wants and likes). Of course you can imagine he is a “Head Turner ".
Can't take him anywhere that we don't get stopped and have to spend time talking to everybody about him. Everybody wants to take him home. You were right, Dante is a spittin' image of his daddy Tank.
Take care and expect some referrals.

Hi Lynn...
I just wanted to send you a couple of pictures of Shorty and give you an update on him. He settled into the family quite easily, and spends his time getting beat up by the cat on a regular basis, who by the way is his best friend. He has been such a wonderful addition to the family, my parents, siblings, everyone just loves him! He is such a clown and loves to be the center of attention. At Thanksgiving, he was the hit of the party, winning over everyone's hearts.
I take him to the dog park a few times a week and I call him the ambassador as he has to go and meet everyone there, and everyone that comes in, both dog and human. I can't even tell you how many times people have told me that he is the cutest puppy they have ever seen. One woman pulled up next to me at a stop light to ask me what kind of dog he was and told me she doesn't even like dogs but he was the cutest thing ever. When I take him to the vet, they always tell me they can't wait until I have a little more room to get him a little sister, because I've discovered that only one is not enough!
Happy Holidays to you and your family, and thank you for bringing Shorty into my life!

Hello, Lynn!
I hope this finds you and yours doing well in '08. Just a long overdue note
here with pics (Fall/Winter '07) of this precious pup ... Gabby. We do need
to take more current photos and send some to you as she has really matured
since these were taken. We want to thank you again for sticking with us and
giving us this adorable little blessing. She's an incorrigible addition to
our family and is loved by all! (Wish we had two of her!) Everyone is
enamored of her when she's out and about, so we always refer them to your
website. Anyway, thank you so very much and God Bless!
Tray, Barbara & Keith

The puppies are doing great....I named the female Molly and the male Tiger. She is more adventurous that he is but he stalks her like a Tiger when they are playing. I do not have a digital camera, but when this roll is developed I will scan them into the computer and e-mail you the pictures. I will be happy to keep you informed as to how they are doing. We went to the vet Thursday for their 2nd round of shots and to get their chart started. They were the hit of the day. My vet is also a Corgi person and he was highly impressed by the breeding in these two. Feel free to contact me at any time. Ross Culbert Farmington, New Mexico

Hi Lynn,
I am so sorry that I have not written or sent pictures of our sweet Chloe. We had 2 others dogs and had just lost our oldest dog when we purchased Chloe from you. We have since lost our other dogs to old age and now Chloe is the only child. She has been so much fun! She loves to take long walks in morning with her Daddy in the cold rain, she just loves to be outside. She is very social, in fact she thinks that all people who come to our house are here to see her!
My Mother who came with me to pick her up was diagnosed with cancer last August and has been living with us so Chloe is her caregiver. She has brought such joy into our lives we were so truly blessed to find you and your wonderful Corgi puppies! By the way she really does keep us in line!!!! Our Vet says they have never seen such a beautiful Corgi.... we most definitely think she is!
Much love Crispin and Michelle Roaque

Finney has been quite the special little boy to us, since we lost our two Bernese Mountain Dogs to cancer just 7 weeks apart this past Spring. He has brought back laughter and joy to our home. Finney is quite the little character, he constantly brings a smile to our faces. You never know what he is going to do next. One minute he's blowing bubbles in his water bowl and the next he is in your lap giving you lots of kisses. He constantly runs around the house with his stuffed toys in his mouth making them make noises. The louder the better! Now that Fall is in the air we take him for lots of car rides. Finney loves to go bye bye! He is such a good boy in the car. We just can't say enough about our little guy! We love him so much!

Hi Lynn,
Here is a picture of "Indy" aka "Star" who we bought from you back in September. He is out of Miss Kandy Dancer, born July 4th. We were going to name him "Star" but changed it to "Indiana" in the car on the way home. Anyway, he is a wonderful, wonderful dog! He is exactly what I was hoping for in a running companion. I run with him off-leash on open space paths and I've been teaching him hand signals. He already knows "arm up" means wait, "arm down" means go, "arm down and pointing to the ground" means come to me and sit. He is also a wonderful family dog and just a joy to have around. He is LOVING the snow. After running a few miles he likes to bury himself in the snow and lay down for a minute or two. He is also super friendly and loves everyone he meets.

Okay, Dean and I knew the breed was smart but really! Angus scared and amazed us all at the same time. On Monday, since it was a little cold, I left all the dogs in the courtyard (it’s a private fenced are within our backyard .. 8 ft fences!) that attaches to the laundry room and garage so they could come in (although snow and cold seem to be Gus’ thing). Dean called me when he got up a couple of hours later and asked if I had taken Angus to work. Immediately, I knew he was gone. I headed home from Evergreen and Dean started frantically looking and trying to figure out how he could have gotten out at the same time. 5 minutes later I get a call that he was found in a front yard 3 houses away but I should come home so I could see his escape route. Well, smart he is .. by watching our cat (who’s 19 and not so agile anymore) get on a chair, then on the café table then on the 4” ledge around our house, he managed to balance and squeeze himself through the gap between the fence and house. I’m sure it was then that he realized he couldn’t turn around so he kept moving .. when he ran out of ledge, he jumped into the driveway and off he went. Needless to say, the chairs and tables have been moved and the gap closed up (who knew it was a escape route 5 feet off the ground!). Now he just sits and looks at it and whines! He’s always one step ahead of us. And he’s as gorgeous as ever.
We really love him .. more than we thought we would. We can’t thank you enough for bringing him into our lives!

Hi Lynn,
We LOVE this little guy, he is adorable! He goes to the bank, post office, town hall, lacrosse practice at the high school, he goes everywhere. He is even going with us up to see our daughter at school, we are surprising her and bringing him with us. He is just such a great dog and we have really fallen in love with him! I have been taking a lot of pictures, a lot with my phone when I should be taking them with the camera! I promise to get some to you. Everyone loves the name Bob which is so funny to me. One of Bob's favorite places is the beach, he loves running around, exploring, and just taking it all in. I just wanted to touch base and let you know he is doing great, smart as a whip! He is so darn cute we can't stand it!
~Update~
Bob wants to wish all of his family at Haystack Acres a Happy New Year. We are celebrating Bob's first birthday today and he wishes all of his brothers and sisters a Happy Birthday.
We are having such a great time with Bob and he is such great company with both of our children off in school. He is so sweet and loving and so friendly with everybody. My husband Peter takes him with him every night when he goes for his walk so Bob is getting plenty of exercise. We just love him and get so-o-o many compliments on him! He is like a movie star! We really have considered getting another Corgi from you but have settled into such a nice routine that I'm a little hesitant to rock the apple cart! He travels so well and just goes with the flow. I'm not sure how it will work with two but believe me if we ever get another Corgi it will certainly be from Haystack Acres!!
