Meet the breeder
I'm Annie S., the breeder behind Highplains Herders located in Plymouth, IA. Our dogs are such an integral part of our lives, and we could not imagine being without them. They are raised as one in our home, and join us on our chores, and adventures on the farm. It is such an amazing experience to be able to provide other families with dogs from us.
Q. & A. with Annie
Why did you start breeding?
I have had corgis for years, and along the way discovered my ambition to better the breed. I knew i wanted to expand first with my corgis. I took my time to research, and found from the two breeds, I have had both Pembroke and Cardigan, but much prefer the latter. I took my time, found a wonderful mating pair, and started my way from the ground up. My program is still new, but slowly growing.What makes your program special?
We raise each puppy like it is our own. We are hands on from the very minute they are born, until the minute they go home. All pups are well started in socialization, along with exposure to different sights, scents, sounds, car rides, potty and kennel training. Each pup is sent home with a contract, their vet records, and their own individual puppy care package. We put our love into each puppy.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle merle and white, red and white, black and white, red merle and white, brindle and white, and blue merle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter and program updates
Annie S.
Program update on 08 May •…Pupdate on a couple of our girls. Due to no fault of her own, and some behind the scenes events that I will go into at a later time when I have calmed down and fully processed my thoughts, Gwyneth is available. Gwyneth is an AKC Brindle Fluffy Carrier Cardigan Welsh Corgi Female. She is the sweetest girl, a bit shy at first, but quick to warm up. Elaine is also still looking for her pawfect home. Elaine is an AKC Standard Coat Black and White Cardigan welsh corgi female. Elaine is the first to greet you, gives kisses like it's her full time job, and is a professional cuddler. Both Gwyneth and Elaine are looking for new homes to call their own. They will be ready to plop onto new couches May 17th. They both deserve the absolute very best. Please reach out for more information and an application.

We have families coming to meet them and we cannot wait for them to see their little fluffy 4 legged future companions.

Annie was extremely responsive and knowledgeable of the breed. As a first time dog owner, she made the experience a great one which was very comforting! Annie is truly a kind hearted person who raises beautiful puppies and genuinely cares for them as her own. I highly recommend going through Savages Low Riders as I found my new best friend I have never felt luckier!
