Popp Ranch Pembroke Welsh Corgis
Meet the breeder
I'm Karen P., the breeder behind Popp Ranch Pembroke Welsh Corgis located in Dodge Center, MN. My corgis are members of the family, I offer top-quality, healthy puppies that excel in any direction you want to take! Our focus is to produce the best dogs of the highest quality so that other families can also enjoy the love of a dog. These dogs have proven to be wonderful companions in our lives. It is a privilege to be able to share that love and friendship with others through responsible breeding.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased my first corgi in 2001 and quickly fell in love with the breed. My first corgi was affected with DM, gradually lost control of his rear extremities, and declined into a wheelchair. The devastation of this prevalent PWC disease has made me a strong advocate in testing. Over the course of these years' corgis have become a passion, and after many years of searching for quality stock (health, personality, herding) I started raising puppies in 2020.What makes your program special?
It's small and has been years in the making to get quality breeding stock (health, personality, herding) after many years of searching.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
VivY, mom
Pembroke Welsh Corgi
About VivY
Vivy is a 5 year-old female, AKC registered black headed tri Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She is genetically clear for degenerative myelopathy (DM), von willebrand’s disease (VWd1), exercise induced collapse (EIC), and progressive retinal atrophy (PRA-RCD3). She is OFA certified elbows, and eyes. Vivy was born in Texas and raised by myself as puppy from 8 weeks old and currently lives in my home. She is housetrained and uses a dog door to potty herself independently out into large fenced yard. She loves to herd, do chores on my hobby farm and has been safe with chickens, goats, and horses. She was spayed in January 2024 with full vet exam, lab work, and clean bill of health. She loves attention, more so from people and prefers to be less social with dogs. She would likely do best as being only the dog, but does ok with male dogs (not my other females). This is the best decision for my pack. She has a home for life but know she will thrive with her own family.
