I believe in selective breeding to get dogs with the best conformation & temperament. Low breeding co-efficient is most important to reduce breed faults. Registering of all purebred animals is a must for the ancestry, genetics & future health of each animal. I will be breeding Cardigan Welsh Corgis from 2025. I also breed & show English/Irish donkeys, Pekin Bantams & Wiltshire sheep. www.donnbrae.co.nz

Prefix : DONNBRAE (Welsh Corgi (Cardigan))

I started my kennel in 2024 with two foundation bitches and one foundation dog. All three cardigans have been shown in the conformation show ring and achieved champion status. All three have had their genetic comprehensive testing completed before I started breeding. I will only breed from quality stock with good temperaments that are clear of genetic faults. I believe in breeding Cardigans to the breed standard so they can be used as a working dog as well as being the family pet. My dogs are also welcomed to a local rest home where they enjoy visiting with the residents. I also breed English/Irish Donkeys and Wiltshire sheep which is where the name Donnbrae comes from. Donn means brown haired in Irish and Brae is scottish meaning steep bank often near a river and used in place names. The name Donnbrae references my first donkey who is a brown haired jenny and the land where we live.

Next Litter Planned: May, 2026
