Gig - together with her breeder Becky Martin - gave me the best possible start in Cardigans. She practically showed herself and knew always to give her friendliest face to the judge. Her movement was fantastic and when she stopped she simply froze in place. She was also my cheerleader at home, complying happily with the rules of the house and encouraging the other dogs to get with the program. She was an important part of puppy training at Arylan.
    She made some pretty nice puppies, including Arylan's first champion, Leo (Arylan Opus One of Allegro), lookalike Daughter Lindy (Arylan Flying Start), and Wham and Belle who are taking up the torch here at Arylan.
    Gig has found a wonderful retirement home with John and Kathy Crosby of Bastrop, Texas and their 3 delightful Pembrokes. Kathy is active in Corgi rescue and has a deep love of the breed. There is nowhere I would rather see Gig spend her retirement years. John and Kathy made the long drive to Albuquerque to get Gig, under threat of snowstorm, even though I believed that she could handle being shipped - if any dog could. That was dedication!
    Gig is still a young dog at less than 5 years, which means that I can look forward to photos and reports - even a visit or two - in the coming years. Recent updates show Gig doing the kiddie pool, with her naw favorite buddy, Gabriel, and receiving a facial from the resident cat. Awesome!
