How Jack came to be part of the CarMel Crew:

We have always liked the PWC's and Heather did extensive research on breeders throughout high school but decided to wait until after college (oh so many years of college!) before moving forward with that plan so we could focus on keeping up with our Aussies during limited time.  Heather had breeders narrowed down, specifically looking at breeders with proven dogs in working and conformation (there are VERY few Dual Ch's in the breed, most are related).

Fall 2011 Marie Murphy of Diamond Aire Aussies emailed us with a picture of a cute little boarding puppy she got in over Halloween....gosh was he a cutie!  Marie told them if they EVER needed a new home for him to contact her.  Spring 2012 we got another email from Marie with the pictures to the left saying 'look who's here permanently'.  Well, she knew what our reaction would be and after a test run on sheep to gauge his interest, Jack came to live with us June 2012 at eleven months old (same age as we got Oreo from rescue mind you). 

His previous owners couldn't find his litter registration papers/breeder info but through a series of ironic events Heather was able to backtrack his breeder through bits and pieces of leads and eventually an employer who had bought a corgi for his daughter two years prior from the same person.  We contacted the "breeder", got his litter information and were able to get him AKC registered and then got him UKC registered and a tracking number with ASCA.

So through an ironic turn of events we got our corgi from the same trusted breeder we have gotten our Aussies from through the years and have based our lines on.  We are forever thankful to Marie for our Aussies and now little Jack too.

Jack is smart (although slightly independent-possibly lack of direction as a youngster), rowdy, active, fun Fun FUN!  He catches on to new things within minutes and has fit in with the Aussies easily.  He gives them a run for their money.

He is melting hearts everywhere we go (at the UKC show, ASCA shows, public ect) and has not met anyone who has not turned into a puddle at his feet.  Cute goes a long way! We have been amazed at how many stock judges have stories about nice working corgi's from around the country and are excited to see him around the trials.  Hopefully he will someday make their books as a nice working "flat dog" (as Rachel Vest called him)
