Rip

aka "The Wild One"

Rip is a 5 year old Cardigan Welsh Corgi. His registered name is C-Myste Baledwr SN Surfin' USA RN NAP NAJ



Rip was perhaps the cutest puppy ever.  


I got this one from his Gramma Carolyn Cannon
As a young puppy w/ his sister Summer


How can anyone resist a face like this?


Rip learned to roll within a few days of joining our pack
Maggie must be a good teacher!


Practicing hiding
May come in useful some day (especially if you're a naughty dog)....


Rip has a lot of energy - he was a blur even as a puppy!


But sometimes even blurs must rest...


Flat out on your back with all of your toys is good, too
I like how Rip and the toys are making a nice circle


Then Rip started to grow up.  I wanted a smart dog with drive... and I got one!  My mom says I should have named him "what was I thinking?!"

Here are some highlights of Rip as he's grown:


Rip is always up for a party
Bring it on!


Still a blur - just a bigger one!


Here's what I often see when I look down - let's go!


On a hotel stay for an obedience seminar
Rip learned to be a bed dog - and he liked it!

Rip did a little conformation showing, but it wasn't his thing, so now we're focusing on agility and obedience.  


At his very first conformation show (and mine, too!)
