I'm Melanie C., the breeder behind Twisted Little Corgis located in Howe, OK. Our goal at Twisted Little Corgis is to make the puppy buying experience as simple and seamless as possible. We believe in educating buyers throughout the process. We also strongly believe in the well-being of each puppy that leaves our premises. Our puppies are socialized with other dogs and people during their time here.
Q. & A. with Melanie
Why did you start breeding?
I have always had dogs growing up and have bred working cattle dogs in years past. In 2018 we decided to take the leap and purchase our Corgis. I have always loved Corgis, and loved raising puppies, so it felt like an effortless decision!
What makes your program special?
Our program is small and based in home. Our dogs participate in our daily activities. We live way out in the country so they get to reap the benefits of country livin'. Their favorite hobbies are herding chickens around the yard and zoomies throughout the house. I'm excited to continue to improve and invest into our program!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), 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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
