Happy Birthday Captain and all the Tree Litter

Happy Birthday to Captain and all of the Tree Litter. 3 years ago a brave momma named Hanna with the help of Megan and Josh brought a beautiful litter of puppies and for some of us like myself we were lucky enough to get get. so here is Captain's story and drama:

I began looking for our second Cardi after our first one Malibu was close to 2 years old. She was born on 11-26-06. Denise and I had always wanted a second set of children 2 years apart so as it got close to Malibu's birthday I started searching. I am a fanatic as it goes to looking things up on the Internet and researching. I went through the Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America Breeder's list and tried to stay close to home and found C-Myste in Southern Oregon. Once on the site I was delighted that they had just had a litter now 3 years ago today. I was looking for a Blue Boy and this would become my first Show (Conformation) Dog. I grew up in a Newfoundland Show home but never showed or did junior handling. I started the process through Carolyn and was fortunate enough to get by Blue Boy Captain I have today. Now GCH C-Myste Whomping Willow. The litter theme was Trees in Literature and my son Andrew came up with Whomping Willow from the Harry Potter books. And as everyone knows he was the biggest in the litter and the name fit. He was always to have the call name Captain. The Rums have it ie, Malibu and Captain. The drama you may ask is the fact that we had our hearts set on Duncan as our blue boy but as it was to be a show boy it was up to the ladies, Carolyn, Mandy, and Megan. Just before we went up to pick up our new addition at Carolyn's did we find out our boy would be Colbert now Captain. We are so pleased with Captain and how he has done that it goes to show the TRUE BREEDER knows what they are doing. SO a very BIG THANK YOU to Carolyn, Mandy, and especially Meagan who helped wonderful Momma Hanna give birth to our special Blue Boy. Plus a big thanks to Wally for being a good Dad too. Enjoy some pics

    Sweet! I LOVE those photos of them in the red wagon that first Christmas. Thank goodness it wasn't another week away or Cappy wouldn't have squeezed into that little wagon! He's a GREAT GREAT dog! You're absolutely right - the breeders knew what they were doing and you did get exactly the dog you wanted. Captain is as handsome in personality as he is in looks! Congratulations again on the Grand Championship and a very happy birthday to sweet Captain from all of us, especially his "little" brother Sage (who is actually older!).

    Hugs,
    Kathy, Moe, Denali & Sage
