I'm Barbara S., the breeder behind Gingersnap Pembroke Welsh Corgis located in Shelton, WA. All of our babies are raised in our home where they are thoroughly socialized and shown lots of love and affection! Our puppies are the stars of the show at our house. We love them and they play with our 6 other adult Corgis along with 3 cats. We raise them in our living area so they are used to the sounds and movement of people. They come to you pre-spoiled!
Q. & A. with Barbara
Why did you start breeding?
When I was 33, I wanted a specific breed and there was no internet to aid my search. It took research and many phone calls to locate a breeder I could trust. After my years of searching, I knew I could do a better job of raising puppies for family pets. I had no desire to raise show dogs, just loving family pets free of health issues.
What makes your program special?
Gingersnap puppies come from our well-loved pets. Born and raised in our home, they spend their first 10+ weeks with us inside, socializing and being well-loved.
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.

Barbara was fantastic. Her home is just that, a home and not a breeder who is just out to make money. The puppy's were healthy and we'll cared for and her dogs were well behaved and friendly. Our puppy Penny is the best and we are so glad we chose to work with Barbara.

Barbara has been responsive since day one! Very communicative! I really appreciate how she kept me in the loop with literally everything. She’s extremely knowledgeable too! Thank you for everything! We are so in love with our boy! If you are looking for a very reputable, honest, kind, professional, caring breeder, I highly suggest Barbara (Gingersnap Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s). It was such a pleasure getting to meet you and your husband.
