Litter update on 26 Jan •…We received over a foot of snow last night. We’ve been without power since about 6 AM Saturday, so the generator may be heard in the background. The pups are enjoying the snow!

Program update on 29 Dec 2025 •…We’ve been working diligently on litter training and starting the early stages of weaning. Everyone is catching on so well, and for three-week-old puppies it’s amazing to see how much they’ve progressed in just the last few days. By the time they go home, they should have a good understanding that there’s a designated place to go potty, which will help their new families tremendously when it’s time to transition to going outside!

Pembroke Welsh Corgi
About Tallie
Tallie is a vibrant and affectionate Pembroke Welsh Corgi with an abundance of energy and a joyful, loyal temperament. She thrives on human interaction and especially loves spending time with children. Tallie enjoys observing the elk and horses that pass by and takes great delight in playful activity. When the weather turns cold, she is happiest nestled by the fire, content to relax in her owner’s lap. Her lively spirit, affectionate nature, and high energy make her a wonderful companion and an exceptional member of our breeding program.

Great level
Ruidoso's Crowned Companions reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Pembroke Welsh Corgis.

Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
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).

+4Maiya is awesome! She responded very quickly whenever I had questions. She sent multiple updates about our little boy every week, and it was so precious to watch him grow! Maiya puts a lot of love and care into these pups. Pick up was straight forward and pleasant! Our pup is adjusting well to his new home, which I think is a testament to how he was cared for in his first couple of months.

I had a wonderful experience with Maiya from Ruidoso’s Crowned Companions. From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. It’s clear how much care and love she puts into her dogs—their health, temperament, and well-being are a top priority. I truly appreciated her honesty, communication, and dedication. I would highly recommend Ruidoso’s Crowned Companions to anyone looking for a responsible and caring breeder.

Maiya was absolutely wonderful! She has a deep passion for the breed and is very willing to share her knowledge. It was very easy to communicate with her and she was always very responsive. I loved the updates and pictures she continually sent through the weeks of the puppies growth. It made me feel that I was indeed part of the pups family. I appreciate Maiya, her love and caring she expressed for the pup's wellbeing and mine. Now that the pup is home with me, she checks up on us to make sure everything is going well. Thank you Maiya! I am so happy with my new family member!
