We are devoted to the Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Pat has devoted 46 continuous years to the Cardigans and Pembrokes; Jan has been equally as long with Pembrokes, and for the past 17 years has been part of the Cardigan family.
We pride ourselves on outgoing characters in our puppies. They are home-raised and healthy, fun-loving and intelligent. We breed to the standard and our dogs herd, do obedience and agility, as well as shine in the conformation ring. Our dogs are family-loving companions and adapt to any household, from a cold floor to a warm bed. We offer a brochure with pictures to those who inquire.
We have many firsts in Cardigan history as Swansea (earlier name) and now Rhydowen, Reg'd:
1st Blue Merle to win Best of Breed at the CWCCA National Specialty from the Open Bitch Class: Ch. Swansea Blue Diana
1st Female to win a Group I: Ch. Rhydowen Hex'um Baby
1st Herding Trial-Titled dog to win a Group 1: Ch. Rhydowen Jasper Tewdwyr HS

FAQ are answered in our brochure or by e-mail -- or better yet by phone! We are always willing to help people find the right companion for their life style. Besides, Pat likes to talk about Cardigans and Pembrokes.
You can find Pat at most Eastern shows. At the moment we are showing Ch. Rhydowen Jasper Again (handled by Kathy Gertler, PHA), Ch. Rhydowen Blue Druid and, finally, Pat with our class kids!
If you call on weekends Pat is usually at the shows, but Jan will answer any and all questions. If you get a recording, please leave a message; we do call back; when we are playing with the dogs we don't always hear the phone!
