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!)
