I'm Ellen O., the breeder behind Braidwood Corgis located in Thompsonville, MI. I am passionate about the breed and focus on AKC breed standard and temperament. I take great pride in connecting the right family with the perfect puppy based on personality and lifestyle.
Q. & A. with Ellen
Why did you start breeding?
I began breeding after years of loving the breed. After I lost my cherished pet years ago I realized that it had become very difficult to find a healthy corgi true to standard. I felt it shouldn’t be so hard to connect families with this wonderful breed.
What makes your program special?
I use the best studs I can find to match with my four girl’s genetics, conformation, personalities and bloodline. While I do have puppies who have gone on to show I take great pride in connecting the right family with the perfect puppy based on personality and lifestyle. Additionally, the families who adopt from Braidwood have a tendency to stay in touch with me and each other, which is special.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn, red, and sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Pixie is a good name for this one. Being the youngest here – she’s used to being a bit spoiled. She is the best bloodline we have and has recently been proven. We are anxiously awaiting watching her puppies turn into champions – either in the show ring or in your heart! Pixie is adventuresome, inquisitive energetic and loveable.
