Additional Tests
Fergwyn Corgis conducts 3 additional tests available for the Corgi (Pembroke Welsh).
- Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
- Genetic Test
Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC) is a genetic condition mainly affecting Retrievers and Spaniels. It results in the dog collapsing after periods of intense exercise, even if they are normally able to cope with lower levels of exercise. There is a DNA test available which can indicate if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
- Genetic Test
Von Willebrand’s Disease (VWD/vWD) is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a lack of a specific clotting factor. There are three forms of the disease, types 1, 2 & 3. A DNA test is available for each type of VWD to identify whether a breeding dog is a carrier or might be affected. The severity of VWD varies widely between breeds and individuals, ranging from life threatening, through to having no impact on clotting ability.

About the Breeder
A little about us
I started on this journey after my husband bought me a sheltie puppy in 2000. We started dong obedience training with that puppy and decided to purchase a female to show. I became involved in the Shetland Sheepdog Club of NSW and things progressed from there. I first started showing and breeding with my shelties and…
Why we got involved in breeding
I started getting involved with dog showing as an activity that I could do while my husband worked of a weekend. I had shown horses as a child and had always loved dogs and this was a much less cost prohibitive hobby than the horses. I realised early on with dog shows that I needed to breed my own if I wanted to…
Our special touch
I am always willing to talk to anyone about my dogs and at shows I am happy for my dogs to be patted by the general public. We need to be approachable as we are the face of the pure bred dog world. I receive feedback from my pet people about how well adapted my pups are and they adjust to their new homes easily.
