HOW WE BECAME SOLSTICE FARM CORGIS

Solstice Farm Corgis began as Solstice Farm Friesians in 1998 when we purchased our 50-acre Solstice Farm in the Willamette Valley, twenty miles west of Eugene, Oregon.  We bred and raised Baroque style light draft horses for twenty years.  In our Friesian horse social circles, we encountered many a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and we were smitten and wanted to adopt one our own.  Our first AKC registered Pembroke Corgi, 'Gibby' inspired our love for the breed.   He lived 14 years, but at 13 he was diagnosed with dm and over the next six months his motor control and mobility faded to nothing while his spirit and mind remained bright until the end. It was awful losing him like this. In his memory, we decided to thoughtfully build a responsible breeding program with a keen emphasis on type, temperament, sturdy build, and genetic health.

 

HERE'S WHAT MAKES A SOLSTICE FARM CORGI SO UNIQUELY AWESOME!

Our breeding Corgis are family and farm dogs first.  They sleep in bed with us, travel and camp with us, and have free run of our home and acreage. Our breeding pairs are dear pets from high quality pedigrees.  We spent more than a decade planning the thoughtful breeding that represents our favorite aspects of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi breed.  Our Corgi puppies are genetically health tested by parentage.  We are not a kennel, and rather, are a small, niche breeder focused on sturdy, old world bloodlines and easily trainable, loyal, and loving temperaments. In addition, our puppies are born and raised and given constant TLC in our bedroom and home.  They're a part of our daily flow until they leave us with the thoughtful, continuous positive interactions and resulting trust they need to quickly and confidently bond with their forever family at about eight weeks of age. We have decades of experience raising, training, and breeding Corgis and are dedicated to improving the breed.
