Meet the breeder
I'm Michele W., the breeder behind Welswood Cardigans located in Oviedo, FL. I do not consider myself a normal breeder as I do not breed often, only when I want another show dog. My puppies are born and raised in my home. The goal I set and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.
Q. & A. with Michele
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding was not even on the radar when I got my first Corgi. When I got my second one and became interested in showing, raised champions and met my very dear friend and mentor is when I started researching and learning what breeding was all about.What makes your program special?
Just the fact that all my dogs are raised in my home and the same with any litters that I plan. My litters are planned out very carefully and with much guidance from my mentor and friend. I sleep with the litter until they are able to get around on their own. I am extremely selective on when and to whom I am breeding. When you purchase one of my puppies you become part of my extended family!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
