I'm Kristen S., the breeder behind Cedar Springs Corgis located in Rockbridge Baths, VA. We breed for temperament, conformation, health, and intelligence. Our dogs are family.
We do our best to socialize each puppy and give them ample opportunities to experience different things such as children, vacuums, cows, chickens, cats, horses. As soon as their little legs can manage, they are allowed to go to the garden and barn with me. My husband is in charge of couch time with the pups.
Q. & A. with Kristen
Why did you start breeding?
I love the breed and feel that there is a need for reputable, conscientious breeders to keep the breed healthy and good-tempered while adhering to the standards of the breed.
What makes your program special?
We breed selectively and carefully. Only dogs that we feel offer the best qualities of the Corgi are bred. We do health screening to ensure healthy pups that can have a healthy, long life with their new family. My pups are crate trained or well on the way before they leave my home.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

At 7 weeks, these pups are loving their romps outside. They especially love hiding under a certain bush and following the Border Collies.
