I'm Charmel R., the breeder behind Rodick’s Corgis located in La Porte, TX. I'm a local veterinarian with a deep love for the Corgi breed. Breeding is a passion-driven hobby for me—rooted in a commitment to the health, temperament, and well-being of every puppy. I take pride in raising well-socialized, happy pups who are ready to thrive in their new homes. Each litter is raised with care, attention, and a lot of love.

DNA Disease Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
