What Sets Our Corgi Breeding Program Apart?
At our breeding program, we’re passionate about raising Corgis that are healthy, happy, and well-adjusted for life with their new families. Here’s what makes us stand out:
- Health and Genetic Excellence: We prioritize the health of our dogs above all else. Our Corgis come from carefully selected, health-tested parents, ensuring they are free from common genetic issues. Regular vet check-ups, vaccinations, and screenings are standard practice.
- Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Scent Introduction: We incorporate Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction from birth to enhance your puppy’s development. ENS exercises help build resilience, improve cardiovascular health, and promote a stronger immune system. Scent introduction helps puppies develop cognitive skills and adaptability, which are beneficial for their future training and overall behavior.
- Early Socialization and Training: Our puppies are raised in a loving, home environment where they experience early socialization with people, children, and other pets. From a young age, they are introduced to basic training, different sounds, environments, and begin crate training early on. This foundation helps them transition smoothly to their new homes and makes house training easier.
- Temperament-Focused Breeding: We focus on breeding Corgis with exceptional temperaments—dogs that are friendly, curious, and eager to please. Our goal is to produce Corgis that are not only beautiful but also adaptable, trainable, and great with families.
- Lifetime Support: When you bring home one of our puppies, you become part of our extended family. We provide ongoing support and resources to help with training, nutrition, and any questions you may have throughout your dog’s life.
- Responsible and Ethical Practices: We believe in ethical breeding practices. Our dogs are raised with love and care, with plenty of room to play and exercise. We also prioritize finding the right homes for our puppies, where they will be loved and cherished.
- Crate Training for Convenience: Our puppies begin crate training early, helping them learn to see the crate as a safe, comfortable space. This not only assists with house training but also makes travel and vet visits less stressful for both you and your pup.
