09.09.2012 - Death of Monty
Monty, one of the Queen's corgis, which
appeared with her in the James Bond sketch for the Olympics opening ceremony, has died aged 13. He
was previously owned by the Queen Mother and was named after
Monty Roberts, the American subject of a BBC documentary, A Real
Horse Whisperer, who advises the Queen on horses and dogs.
The palace also confirmed the death of Cider, a dorgi (dachsund-corgi cross). Now only the two corgis, Willow and Holly, and two dorgis, Candy and Vulcan, remain. - Daily Mail Online.

25.08.2012 - Drama at Balmoral
A royal dog fight recently broke
out at Balmoral, the vast Scottish estate where the Queen spends
the summer, between the royal pack of six dogs and three Norwich
terriers belonging to the Duke of York's family, among them
Princess Beatrice's 11 year old Max
Apparently it happened when the Queen's 'dog boy' was taking the corgis and the terriers along the long corridor leading to the Tower Door for walkies around the 50,000 acre estate. They all became overexcited and began fighting among themselves. Unfortunately the dog boy lost control and it seems the corgis picked on Max who was very badly injured and had to be taken to the local vet.
Contrary to popular opinion, the Queen's corgis are actually usually very well behaved. According to a film-maker who worked on the Olympic film the Queen's corgis behaved impeccably and performed their roles better than the stand-ins, enabling the sequence to be shot in one take.

27.07.2012
During the opening ceremonies of the Olympics 2012 in London there was an entertaining segment with James Bond, alias Daniel Craig, calling on the Palace to ask the Queen to accompany him on a special mission. The Queen greeted him with "Good evening Mr Bond" and both took off in a helicopter. The scene concluded with the stunt double of the Queen parachuting into the Olympic Stadium. Seconds later the real Queen, wearing the same dress as she did in the filmed sequence, was met with roars of laughter and a standing ovation as she entered the arena together with Prince Philip. The sequence at the Palace even included two of the Queen's own corgis, the 13 year old Monty previously owned by the Queen Mother being one of them.

Increased Interest in Corgis in Queen's Jubilee Year
12.05.2012 - Corgi survived earthquake in Japan
This Welsh corgi was rescued by
Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue & Support after spending three
days waiting for rescue on a roof. According to Susan Mercer from
Heart-Tokushima, one of the rescues associated with JEARS, the
corgi was very quiet when first spotted, even though there was a
sign above his head that read "He bites!" Apparently he didn't
feel like biting his rescuers and responded to a kind voice right
away. JEARS was asked to take in the corgi. He's now on his way
to rehabilitate at Animal Friends Nigata, while other volunteers
look for his family. - 26.03.2011 on www.globalanimal.org/
11.05.2012 - Looking for Andy
How far would you go to find your
missing pet? For the Ghiggeri family, guardians of Andy, an
eleven-year-old Corgi, there is no such thing as too far. Andy
ran away on New Year's Eve after being scared by fireworks while
visiting friends in Westport Connecticut, and the hunt has been
on ever since. His family made more than 4,000 posters, assembled
teams of volunteers to patrol areas, set traps, raised money, set
up a dozen night-vision cameras, hired a real-life pet detective,
and by doing all of this, gained national media attention. For
more on Andy read on. Global Animal
08.05.2012 - Corgi helps autistic teen overcome his fear of the classroom
Sally, a Pembroke corgi has helped 14-year old Nick Gilling overcome his fear of the classroom.
After Nick who suffers of Asperger's syndrom had been badly bullied by his class mates, he refused to go back to school and was taught by the home/hospitaleducation service for about two years. He only went back to a special unit at his school last April, but refused to wear his uniform.
When his mother Tessa heard from The Dogs For The Disabled charity that Nick may respond through his dog, she dressed Sally up in Nick's school uniform. When he saw Sally Nick burst out laughing and agreed to wear his school uniform that day to school.
Before Sally joined the Gilling's, she was a show dog and won Crufts in her category as a puppy in 2008. Her pedigree name is Janjinks Wild Honey At Ermyn and the family was able to get her because she was not to be bred. Tessa Gilling then went on a PAWS (Parents Autism Workshops and Support) training course where she trained Sally to help Nick.

15.04.2012 - Corbin, instant famous through YouTube
Corbin, a Pembroke Corgi owned by Vii Wang in Bossier City, Louisiana is a real sucker for a full-body massage with a multi-vac dustbuster after walkies. Since his owner uploaded a short video clip on 11 April 2012 it has, within only 5 days, been viewed more than 300'000. times.
Corbin has gained so many fans that he has his own blog and, of course, you can also meet him on Facebook. On his Facebook profile he describes himself as the "coolest corgi you will ever know and ever will be". And he adds: "I spend my days napping con mi madre Vii and trolling around the house until I get fed." He likes to think of the world as a chew toy and in good corgi manner his interests are "what's under the table, the couch and the feet". But for any lonely-heart Corgi girls out there, he lists his relationship status as "in a domestic relationship".

12.03.2012 - TV for your dog
Dogs that are left alone tend to become anxious and many dogs also suffer from a lack of stimulation, which becomes acute when their parents are away. Research shows that dogs feel better in the company of television. However, not every video is appropriate. Anything that contains fireworks or gunfire could scare your dog and create more stress than no TV.
This is why DOGTV was developed, a 24/7 digital TV channel that acts as a babysitter for "home alone" dogs. The programing was scientifically developed to provide the right company for dogs when left alone and the contents created to meet specific attributes of a dog's sense of vision and hearing. Three types of programming offer between 3 and 6 minutes relaxing and stimulating content as well as positive behavioral reinforcements.
In February 2012, the channel became first available to San Francisco Time Warner and Cox Media customers and it plans to spread across the United States by the end of the year for a charge of $4.99 per month which the company feels is a minimal amount to pay compared to doggy day care, which can cost as much as $40 or $50.
This short video shows some examples of the programs with "stimulating" content:
