About Day

Grace, mom
Cardigan Welsh Corgi
About Grace
Grace is a beautiful, small, minimally marked, red merle. She is so minimally marked that she did quite well in the show ring, having won her majors and 11 points towards her champion. She is a phenomenal mom and had a very easy birthing. She loves attention from pretty much anybody.
Star, mom
Cardigan Welsh Corgi
About Star
My son, to my great disappointment, was never a big animal person, which I have been my entire life. He as been around a lot of animals, including quite a few dogs. After coming over and being around Star, it was the first time that he decided he wanted a dog. She is THAT sweet. She is an AKC Show Champion and is clear for PRA and carrier for DM (no potential for her puppies to be at risk, as Elvis is clear).
Elvis, dad
Cardigan Welsh Corgi
About Elvis
Elvis is a gorgeous, black and white, AKC Show Grandchampion, with a truly spectacular coat. He is incredibly sweet and loves belly rubs. He is PRA and DM clear.
