Rosie was a rare gem indeed.  She loved Al and followed him everywhere.  Here she is in natural pose.  Cardigans simply love their youngsters and that goes far beyond the traditional eight weeks when most go on to their new homes.  Rosie adored her charges.  They don't come much better than what you see here.  Rosie had a gentle soul and her demeanour was a comfort to us.  Al was her human and he loved her equally...

Brandy's had ears that were without doubt one of the largest we have seen.  When she was tired her ears dropped sideways and she resembled Yoda from Star Wars.  A young gal at heart she was full of life and mischief.  Brandy did not take second seat to anyone.  She was a Cardigan that had impressed the judges in the Show Ring as an outstanding example of the breed, winning four group placements over two weekends on her first major outing and in 2004 Best Canadian Bred at the Canadian Cardigan Corgi National Specialty held in Whitehorse.  Brandy whelped 15 offspring and was the proud grandmother of 29, all of which are just as enchanting as she was...

Katie (aka Peanut), was commonly referred to as Arizona Kate or Kate the Mate amongst the family.  She was as precious as they came.  We begun to think that black and white Cardigans simply love to cuddle, for sure Katie's favourite activity was that.  It remains to be seen whose ears were bigger - Katie's or Brandy's.  This was a girl that left a lasting impression on all who were touched from an encounter with her.  Katie loved to babysit puppies whenever she got the opportunity.  She was the great grandmoter to Molly and Gina.  She has had two love litters totalling 10 gorgeous pups.  Her greatest food passion was peanuts, a name that she was often referred to.  Katie is missed.  She will always be in our hearts.  She was 16 1/2 years young when she crossed the bridge.  Love you Kate...

Duncan for sure was a rare Cardigan, if not even a rarer dog.  This was a Cardi that simply loved life.  From the time he opened his eyes until he went to sleep he was active.  He hit the ground running and never stopped. He had a really sweet temperament and was simply a joy to have around.  When he ran he looked like Aylmer Fudd, legs flying everywhere.  He loved puppies, and in fact put most moms to shame with his care and attention.  Duncan was not a member of the Welgem family but on loan from his owner.  He was most fondly called Uncle Duncan or Uncle Duncledorf.  Duncan has left a void that will be nigh impossible to fill...

Toby, aka "The Crown Prince", named by the girls here at Welgem, was a delight.  He wass full of himself and had a temperament that was both inviting and warm.  He loved to play. He would spend hours amusing himself if he could not get the rest of the family involved in his antics.  When he was quiet and sleeping it was on his back.  His dreams were wistful ones.  Toby had sired 24 puppies and was a grandfather to thirteen lovely young ones. A dog with a truly great soul who graced our home with his presence...

Bubs liked to let everyone know she was around.  She was truly a sight to behold and was as striking as her mum Samantha and her dad Toby.  She inherited a lot of similarities from her grandmother Bubbles, especially her love to 'talk'.  Like her mom she was full of beans and kept all the older gang young at heart when she was younger.  With the passing of Rosie, Bubs was rarely seen without her being beside Gramps.  Al called her Ghost because all of sudden there she is.  Bubs and Abby were the best of pals, spending hours playing.  Bubs has whelped thirteen lovely puppies.  If you scroll down further you will meet her daughter Angie...

Angie was one of those Cardis you knew you had to keep.  She was full of herself and loved to strut around with that "I am here - ready for anything" attitude; and boy did she have attitude.  Full of life; her every fiber wanted to spend each waking moment exploring, playing and generally keeping each and every member of  the household on their toes.  She reminded us so much of her Great Grandmother Bubbles.  She was a very welcome addition to the family.  Like her mom, Bubs, she was ever bit a precious gem.  Angie had blessed us with three lovely boys, one of whom is Bo...
