Meet the breeder
I'm Randy and Kathy V., the breeder behind Carousel Corgis located in Dawson, IA. We are a new breeding program. We care deeply about doing everything correctly with the focus on the well-being of our dogs. We plan to raise healthy family pets you can use for work, companionship, or show. Our motto is healthy dogs, happy families. After a few set back with a previous mama and then a relocation, we are getting back on track and are planning for a Fall 2024 litter with Gypsy and Scotty!
Q. & A. with Randy and Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
Seeing irresponsibly bred dogs going to family homes, then popping up in my 4-H dog club with kids was sad when we'd see the dogs develop genetic problems. It’s just heartbreaking to see what a loved family dog goes through and the sadness that brings to its people. Our goal is to breed responsibly so that will not happen.What makes your program special?
We’ve chosen our breeding stock for specific reasons: family pets, with working backgrounds, show lines, and sweet temperaments. We own both parents so we can control what we breed, and ensure our breeding dogs are healthy. Gypsy brings a natural herding instinct which should pass to her puppies and DeeDee is a natural athlete, her puppies should be excellent at agility! Scotty is a sweet tempered and goofy boy, he should pass those qualities on!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, sable, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Randy and Kathy
Randy and Kathy has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Randy and Kathy partners with them to find the best puppy match.
"Please tell us what you are expecting in a dog; cuddly family pet, active, busy and eager to go, a mix of both. We will try to find a perfect suggestion based on your request!"
Price
"The price includes a healthy puppy, wellness vet check, supplies, and registration materials. The deposit is negotiable and applied to the price of your puppy. This helps cover vet expenses. If the current litter doesn’t have a puppy that works for you, you may stay on the list for the next litter, once you agree to staying on the lust, you will be at the top of the waitlist for the next litter, depending on the list length. We try to keep the waitlist as fluid as we can."

Randy and Kathy may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.

Gypsy, mom
Pembroke Welsh Corgi
About Gypsy
Gypsy is a lively, well marked, sweet tempered cuddle bug! She has the sleekest coat I’ve ever felt on a corgi! She’s happy, inquisitive and very brave! Gypsy has very strong herding and retrieving instincts. Her pups might be very useful for these fun activities! If you are interested in an outgoing and focused dog for herding competition, Gypsy’s pups may be just what you are looking for! Gypsy’s pups will be available for full registration.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi
About Scotty
Sweet, calm, very chill! He is a cuddly boy! His tenderheartedness makes him a peaceful companion, but he does have a mind of his own. We are hoping his pups will inherit his sweet PE personality. Scotty is triple clear, very healthy, loves his pack mates, his people (all people really) and enjoys naps!

Pembroke Welsh Corgi
About DeeDee
DeeDee is our newest addition. DeeDee is quick, sleek, very outgoing and friendly! We hope her pups inherit her charm! If you are looking for athleticism, a dog for possible Agility or coursing work, Dee Dee’s pups may be the right pup for you! As she tested as a carrier for 2 genetic issues, her pups will be pet home only, with limited AKC papers. This should not affect the health of puppies. We are committed to breeding healthy pups for your family.
