You asked about Al & Gwynnie's breeders: Carrie Hale and Joyce Gilpin. I don't think they have websites. Both near Seattle WA; Carrie is in Bellevue or Issaquah, Joyce is in Monroe now. Carrie Hale breeds maybe a litter a year, and she's the one who really impressed me as being serious about what she does, and touchingly dedicated to her dogs. Her dogs are wonderful. She impresses me as extremely responsible and dedicated. Al's sire Cary Grant (really) won something like 3rd place in the PWCCA show last year (we don't talk about this in front of him, lest it go to his head). So we're way out here on the Left Coast, a long way from Wales, but if you search around I think you can find people as careful and dedicated as she is.

We were lucky. We lost our first corgi Sirius to a tragic choking accident. Lori (my wife) found Joyce & Carrie a few months later, and that's how we got Gwynnie, and a coupla years later we got Al from Carrie. I had to convince Carrie that I was ready for a second corgi. If we get run over by a bus, these people would take these dogs back in the blink of an eye.

So look for a breeder like that. Look for somebody who's breeding for show, breeding for champions, with some success, and not breeding many. Find someone who's in it for pride and love.
