Litter #1
Born November 15, 2012 at Corgiville Farm
These are the first six puppies nursing before we knew there were two more surprise puppies!
|
Parents: Princess Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise "Annie" & Charles Prince of Wales IV "Charlie"
8 Red and White Pembroke Welsh Corgis
This was Annie and Charlie's first litter. Annie was 1 1/2 years old when the litter was born and Charlie was 3 1/2 years old. For the first two weeks, their eyes and ears are closed. After that they start to become more mobile and begin with paper training. They also start to have some play time outside of the whelping box. At 7 weeks this litter was weaned, ready to start crate training, and heading home to their new families! |

Violette Angelina of Corgiville Farm
Female (Birth order #7, Violet)
Nov. 15, 2012 - Dec. 21, 2012
Violette was one of the smallest puppies at birth. Right from the start she needed some extra TLC to learn to nurse. She began to have some difficulties and was not growing as much as the other puppies. The veterinarian suspected that she had a liver shunt. When the puppies are in utero their livers are not functioning and they rely on their mother's liver. Towards the end of gestation the liver duct is supposed to close up allowing the puppy's liver to function. When a puppy has a liver shunt, it means the duct did not seal off properly causing liver dysfunction. Sometimes this can be remedied with surgery, but other times it cannot. Unfortunately for Violette, she was too small to have most treatments or procedures at her age.
