Welcome to Lindy and Yoda's Home Page! They are two fun-loving Corgis who take care of the Dahlin farm, herd a few goats, take in rescue Corgis now and then, and live life to the fullest.
Lindy and Yoda are Pembroke Welsh Corgis, the smallest of the herding breeds. They do a great job of helping with the goats and are wonderful family dogs. Characteristics of the breed include high intelligence and a wonderful sunny temperament--all in a small package.
Move over Ben and Jerry, Yoda and Lindy have their own line of Yoda and Lindy's Natural Dog Treats. Corgi tested and approved, these recipes are sure to please the most finicky canine.
Lindy is quite a gardener, don't tell Dad about
squishing his bushes! Yoda waits by the gate in case I need a hand
with the goats. Notice the grin as she knows she is naughty by
being in the flower beds again. Yoda shows Jane, a foster Corgi, the ropes of
being a farm dog. Wanting to start a whole new measuring system,
Yoda (right) and Lindy (left) answer the question
"How many Corgis long is the rug?" (Answer: one
head short of two) Rescue Corgis: Lily was our first foster Corgi. She came to us
weighing 36 lbs and was partially paralyzed in her
rear end due to a prior ruptured disk. She was left
at a shelter in the night and was then turned over
to our Corgi club rescue program. She needed four
abscessed teeth pulled and some TLC, but was
adopted by a wonderful home in California to live
out her days. Here is Jane, our second foster Corgi. She came
to us weighing 44 lbs, easily 15 lbs overweight.
She had been in five homes by the time she was
turned in to rescue. She had a wonderful
temperament and was adopted by a psychologist to be
used as a therapy dog. Foxie was our third foster Corgi. Foxie came to
us weighing a whopping 55 lbs! She spent the first
four years of her life with a backyard breeder,
then five years of bliss with a kind owner until he
became too ill to care for her. Foxie now lives
with a delightful older gentlemen, who takes her
touring in his antique auto. She gets a lot of
walks and is down to a slim 30 lbs. Brutus (pictured) and his brother, Romeo, came
to us for a short while. They were two fun-loving
rowdy teenagers who were a delight to have. Both
found wonderful homes--Brutus to a family of five
children and Romeo to a family with an older Corgi
who needed a companion.
Every year, thousands of dogs are unwanted and in
need of home. Rescue programs, such as the
sponsored by the Columbia River Pembroke Welsh
Corgi Club, take in dogs turned in to shelters or
directly by their owners. We foster them, which
includes assessing them for health and temperament,
and then select the best home by matching the dog's
needs with the right family situation. Here are
some of the fosters we have had:
