Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Glacier Cardigan Welsh Corgis located in Medford, OR. Our dogs are bred for soundness and consistency physically and mentally. We prioritize health and structure so that your new puppy can be a part of your family for as long as possible. We want the very best for every puppy, and we truly believe that starts well before the whelping box.
Maleah’s experience
About Maleah
I grew up on a cattle ranch in southern Oregon. I got my first Cardigan, a Coedwig boy, in college. I was looking for a working dog that could help me on the farm when I went home, but be able to live with me in an apartment at school. Ever since, Cardigans have become a second passion, next to animal husbandry and reproduction. I am also an AI technician for cattle.
What makes Maleah’s program special
Our focus is to breed dogs who are of the body and mind to be able to perform their historical function. This means preserving the herding ability of these incredible dogs. We also believe the hardest job a dog could have is being a pet. We want to send out puppies who will be long-lived, happy, healthy members of your family.

More about Maleah
Why Maleah started breeding
Animal breeding has always been a passion of mine. I have a passion for genetics and reproduction. It started with show chickens and cattle in high school and then pigs in college. Ultimately, I found that my true joy was bringing my love of pedigree analysis and genetics, and my lifelong love for dogs together. It is a match made in heaven for me.
