I'm Teri M., the breeder behind Teri Michael's American Corgis located in Ellensburg, WA. My program is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the breed. I strive to produce a great representation of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and to continue improving the line with each generation. I take pride in the quality of Corgis that I produce. They are healthy, have great temperaments, and each one has its own unique personality!
Q. & A. with Teri
Why did you start breeding?
I love animals. We run a cattle ranch and raise sheep, pigs, turkeys, chickens, and horses. Animals are our life and our Corgis are our kids. I wanted to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
I truly care about every puppy and their future homes as well as their parents having a life beyond breeding. By creating an environment of health and harmony for young puppies, I believe that I am able to give each little pup the very best chance to reach its potential, express its best character, and bring forth its greatest gifts in the relationship with itself and to its family.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
