Cactus Corgis
Meet the breeder
I'm Christine C., the breeder behind Cactus Corgis located in Willows, CA. As a veterinary technician, I see multiple cases of poor breeding lines so I am dedicating all my effort into bringing healthy, quality AKC Pembroke Welsh Corgis into the world. I dedicate my effort to breeding healthy puppies for the best success in introducing them into their forever homes.
Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up on a dairy so we often ended up with a lot of dumped dogs that were amazing pets in need of love. Now, as a Vet Tech, we see a variety of breeds and Corgis have excelled by far, especially after purchasing my first one! From their wiggles to their zoomies, I knew I wanted to share them! I am dedicated to bring healthy puppies for a successful introduction into their forever homes!What makes your program special?
Our puppies are exposed and socialized in a farm setting. They will have constant interaction with chickens, goats, and children. They will have beginning behavior skills and will have begun potty training.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
