Meet the breeder
I'm Michelle B., the breeder behind Sugarbush Corgis located in Kirkville, NY. Sugarbush Corgis is a small, home based AKC Pembroke Welsh Corgi program in Central New York.

Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
After falling in love with the breed, we wanted to help other families experience the same joy. Our first corgi, Maple has the PERFECT temperament, and we had to share! They are great whether that means joining you on hikes, exploring festivals, playing in the backyard, or curling up beside you on the couch at the end of the day, we knew she was the exact dog to carry on the Pembroke Corgi genes!What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in our home as part of the family, not in a kennel. From an early age, they're introduced to everyday sights, sounds, and experiences to help build confident, well adjusted companions. They grow up surrounded by a variety of adults and kids, our cat, and plenty of love! They learn from day one that they're cherished and to share that love with their future families.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black and tan, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
