Solstice Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Jinnie S., the breeder behind Solstice Kennels located in Lilburn, GA. Our dogs are a living history of their breed and as Preservation breeders, we preserve, protect and promote the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. We work to breed healthy dogs with appropriate conformation and temperament.
Q. & A. with Jinnie
Why did you start breeding?
I started like many people with a dog that needed training. I enrolled in the local AKC Obedience Club class with my GSP and learned about the Dog Fancy. That class led me to conformation events and in 1996 I acquired my beautiful Windy and that started me on the road to becoming a breeder. Windy had 1 litter that included the GSPCA National Sweepstakes winner. I added Cardigans in 2000.What makes your program special?
My breeding program is small but mighty. I create living art. We breed to the standard using individuals that not only honor the history of the breed but also bring traits that move the breed forward. We test and tell. I personally compete in dog sports which test the mental and physical ability of our Cardigans. We provide a lifetime of support and encouragement to our puppy buyers.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
