Silver Moon Cardigan Corgis

Okay so we have a lot today to go over! First and foremost sweet dove now duchess went home to her mom and dad via mom getting her from our local airport! They are so sweet and already love her so much! So big thanks to the Rothweiler family for adding this sweet girl to your household! #fluffycarriercorgi #HealthTested #texas #americancorgi

Secondly we have our updates for our babies here at Silvermoon! We received back both phoebes and onyx’s embarks! The crazy good news is phoebes showed she actually carries the liver gene so we are extremely lucky there! Onyxs showed the initial company made an error in regards to his testing and he is dm carrier not clear but otherwise he came back correct for everything else we expected such as fluffy and liver carrier and non-Merle! We already spoke to his breeder to let her know of their error and everything is good! Just want to make sure not to use that company in the future unfortunately. (Animal genetics for anyone wondering!) Now going forward since Onyx and Bordi are both dm carrier they cannot be paired together and it leads me to a decision made with careful thought. This summers litter will be our last Bordi litter. We will not be keeping any babies off this litter and only first pick male is reserved currently. It is not easy to find a stud in cardigans with Bordi being an off standard coloration and CKC registered even with AKC lines. Therefore Bordi will be spayed after this summers litter and just be a pet only girl! It will also bring us an opportunity going forward to go with only AKC cardigans. We will be retaining two girls off of phoebe’s litter. First pick male is also currently reserved for this litter leaving two female and 3 male spots left. Now you may have noticed we did some stud changes with the information we’ve learned from our recent embarks! We are now pairing to King from the same breeder (Bleu Bayou’s Corgis) the sire of the male we were originally looking at for Bordi. Since Phoebe is Merle we decided to switch to King for a higher chance of fluffies and the opportunity to keep back liver & dilute carriers to further our program. Bordi is also switched to pair to Forrest as he is a great example of the breed and AKC as well! He will still produce with her all of the same genetics just a smaller chance of full fluffies and no Merle’s or mismarks this go! The website has been updated with current embarks and pedigrees for these summer litters! #fluffycarriercorgi #HealthTested #texas #cardiganwelshcorgi #akc

In other news everything so far is on track for our winter pairing as well this is one I’m also very excited about!!! ONYX AND PHOEBE She is estimated after this litter to go back into heat in November and would be due January 2027! This pairing will produce dm carriers or clear, eic and vwd1 clear. Both parents for this litter will have been pennhipped before conception. In addition to ofa eyes and ther embark panels. It will be an AKC litter! The coat types possible are fluffys, fluff carriers, and fluffy clear! The colorations I expect to produce are livers, liver Merle’s, tricolors primarily with brindle points, brindles, blue Merle’s with or without tan/brindle points. Red, red Merle’s, sable Merle’s, and sables will not be possible with this pairing. I am super excited to see if we get any AKC liver babies out of these two! Currently first slot on their waitlist is claimed leaving 7 remaining spots. This will be a pairing I repeat fall/ winter 2027 if she does well with all her prior litters! In addition to that the two litters from Phoebe will be our only 2027 babies as I’ll be retiring Bordi and waiting on babies to age up! #HealthTested #texas #akc #cardiganwelshcorgi #fluffycorgi

‼️🐾Updates🐾‼️ So few updates today guys! Firstly the show! Onyx did really well especially for both him and us not being sure not knowing what to expect, but there is a few things we’ll continue to work harder on to help him succeed! Overall he was great though! He placed third in the ring today! Phoebes show is mid day tomorrow so I’ll updates hers then as well! In addition we have gotten phoebes OFA results back on hips and elbows and she was rated GOOD & NORMAL so that is wonderful news! We also got Bordis DNA uploaded into OFA’s website so she can get her chic# once we get her eyes done! #brazosvalley #akcdogshow #healthtested #cardiganwelshcorgi #OFA

So we have several announcements to make so stick with us! Firstly we have signed up to show Onyx and Phoebe at the dog show mid march in Navasota TX! Onyx will be in puppy 4-6 month showing with my husband and I will be with Phoebe in the amateur handling since this will be our first showing. There is a lot for me to process and learn in regard to showing so I am excited for that! We will also be completing ofa eyes and cardiac at this event on all three dogs if able since they will be offering them there too! Phoebe also has her Pennhip & ofa hips booked for next week! Secondly we still have five of our beautiful American corgi babies looking for someone to call their own!!! These beautiful guys are just over 9 weeks old and have two sets of their shots, chips, deworming from age two weeks and up, and preventatives given so far as vetting along with all the other things we include with our babies! Third announcement is given some health news and the direction of our program we have decided not to hold back gingerbread as a service prospect as my husband may be looking at some complicated health situations in the future that was not originally in our plans as it usually goes in these type of scenarios! 😅 This means gingerbread is also looking for someone to call his own! Final announcement is we have opened Bordi and Milo’s waitlist as well as phoebes waitlist and first pick male and female have been filled at this time! I do require a waitlist deposit in order to ensure a serious family! While I am awaiting phoebes testing I will be tentatively looking at possible suitors for her! As far as our fall/winter plans go we plan to pair phoebe to onyx depending on how her spring litter goes! I will open that list after we see how she does as a momma with us! If you are interested in one of our cardigan pairing coming up later this year please message me! As always guys keep an eye on the page for updates and we will definitely post pictures from the show when it comes around! Also enjoy these fun photos of my work station and pc i use for all the doggy needs! #akcdogshow #akcregistered #cardiganwelshcorgi #texas #fluffycorgi #americancorgi #livercarriers

These four babies are still searching for their forever homes! They have had two sets of shots and a nexguard prevention treatment as well in the past couple weeks and are microchipped!

These babies are still looking and had lots of fun rolling around in the grass and playing with toys this afternoon! #americancorgis #fluffycorgi #Livercarrier #texas #fluffycarriercorgi
