About us
My name is Madlyn Drogoin, and I live with my partner Curdin, our four Cardigan Corgis, and two miniature dachshunds in a large house with a garden on the outskirts of Walenstadt. Curdin actively supports me with everything related to our dogs, and together we share a passion for breeding.
I originally come from near Berlin and even as a child, everything revolved around dogs for me.
I grew up with three long-haired dachshunds. In 2010, I moved to Switzerland and fulfilled a big dream by getting an American miniature dachshund named Joyli.
I came to the Welsh Corgi, and specifically the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, because I'd long wanted a robust, sturdy, and somewhat larger second dog. I first met the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. But when I met the Cardigan, the decision was quickly made. My soul dog, Yuma, moved in with us and brought a real boost to our everyday life.
In 2019, I traveled to America to bring my breeding bitch Cheya home with me – a step that marked the beginning of my own breeding and turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.
Why the Corgi?
In my opinion Welsh Corgis or "Welsh working dogs" are not little-fluffy-cute dogs as portrayed by social media. They are a medium-large breed on short legs. That's a big difference. Combined with their delusion of grandeur, I would place the Corgi in the large-breed category. I would say they are just in a smaller package.
Corgis have lived as farm dogs for centuries. Their main duties were driving cows, sheep, ponies and geese as well as guarding homes and yards. They also served as mousers, playmates to children and family companions. The Corgi is an original, independently working and thinking cattle dog of the categories "robust" and "rough".
If you invest time and patience in a Corgi and provide him with a lovingly consistent upbringing and socialization, the Corgi will repay you with his intelligence, attentiveness, and loving disposition a 100 times over. You will never be bored with this loyal companion who will always put you at awe and never stop surprising you.
My philosophy
Each mating is characterized by individual genes and strengths. I choose my stud dogs with the greatest care and make sure that my parents' genes are supplemented as best as possible.
The entire padigree plays an important role. In my opinion there is no circumstance too big and no road too long to the respective studs.
My goal is to bred healthy, robust and strong Cardigan Welsh Corgis as they were found in the origin
