I'm the breeder behind Wingsong located in Albuquerque, NM. I have trained and shown my dogs in various venues including obedience, Rally, retrieving and pointing hunt tests, pointing field trials, herding, conformation, and tracking over the last 55 years. My current stud dog is a Champion, has 24 performance titles and is continuing to compete. But most of all he is my constant companion.
About Denise
I started training and competing my first dog at 12 years of age. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician, I have assisted many breeders over the years, including Westies, Scotties, Labradors, Shelties, and Cardigans. I have titled many dogs in many venues, including Companion Dog, Companion Dog Excellent, Utility Dog, Champion, Junior Hunter (retrieving and pointing) Senior Hunter (pointing), Master Hunter (pointing), Herding Tested, Tracking Dog, and Tracking Dog Excellent. But most of all, dogs have been my constant companions for over 50 years.
What makes Denise’s program special
I assist other breeders in raising their litters, including incorporating Puppy Culture into the socialization of their pups. I only own male dogs and use them at stud, so I may know of available litters related to my male. If the litters are local to me, I try to help incorporate Puppy Culture in to their upbringing.

“Puppy prices would be set by any breeder that I might know of and be able to refer you to. Squire’s Stud fee is dependent on the treaty made with the bitch owner. Bitches accepted for breeding must be AKC registered, deemed of good breed quality by Squire’s owners, good temperament, and of structural compliment to Squire. Hip and eye certification, DM and PRA status, and brucellosis test required.”
Denise may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.

Wingsong reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Cardigan Welsh Corgis.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), PRA, Rod-Cone Dysplasia 3 (rcd3)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
