I'm Phyllis S., the breeder behind Smilin Corgis located in Decatur, IL. My family breeds and raises our puppies in our homes with a focus on health and temperament. We have a true love for dogs and what we do! We have lcations in Central Illinois, Nebraska, and Northern Ohio. My love for Corgies inspired me to share this breed with my family and the world in a responsible way. I devote my time, energy, and attention to each litter to ensure my puppies get the best start in life. I take pride in what I do and am excited to introduce your family to your next Corgi puppy!
