Q. & A. with Cheryl
Why did you start breeding?
We purchased our first Pembroke Welsh Corgi "Spock" in 2001. Our next one "Paige" came along in 2002. We moved to our 3.5-acre property in 2003 with a 120+-year-old home "of no value." My husband is a general contractor and together we are making this little house into a beautiful home. Our very first litter was born July 31st, 2004 and that's when Gwyndolyns was established. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.What makes your program special?
We believe in producing a whole dog; one that will live a long, healthy life. We health test for the minimum breed requirement i.e; OFA Hips and CAER Eyes. We also DNA test for DM and vWD and we adhere to the PWCCA Code of Ethics. We take great care to learn from the masters; those who came before us and are willing to share their vast knowledge and history of this wonderful breed. Our program is special because of our dogs. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are such a joy, and we find so much fulfillment in raising and preparing them for their loving, forever homes.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
