I will no longer be posting on this page anymore, however if you should need to reach us feel free to send us a message and it should still alert me. I'll likely leave the page up, just for that reason, but I've currently got too much going on and since we are no longer in business, it's best.

For emergency contact / can't get ahold of me here, phone number is still the same as it was on puppies contact info, and you can email me at [email protected] as well.

We've had a lot going on here, it's been a very rough holiday season here. We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays.

Happy 4th Birthday to one of my most favorite litters we've had! Being able to do Halloween, Thanksgiving, AND Christmas photos with these guys were so much fun. I enjoyed every moment of it, and of course this litter was a bit special to me, as it gave me my baby Tourni! (Who was known as Shock in the beginning.) Hope all of you are doing well.

So recently we've been bombarded with all sorts of chaos. First it started with our vehicle needing repairs, then it was my health, then my grandfather passed away on labor day, and it's just been insane. We have now been packing for Florida, as we leave in about 10 days, and also getting ready for all the dogs to go to thier designated places while we are gone. We also are hoping to be at Pets and Pumpkins this weekend, providing that my husband gets over his sinus cold mostly. We will do some more updates shortly, but everyone here is well (mostly... minus the husband lol) and even little miss Nova is doing great!

We have had a ridiculously busy few months here, so posting has been quiet mostly. We will try and make another post updating soon how things are going, but we are still here! Also to all those in Florida right now, please be safe and you're in our thoughts!

So Nova is doing much better. She's been on her antibiotics and is no longer making noise congestion wise, and her nasty rash she had is completely cleared. Having done all I could really do, breeder reporting wise, I have not much other choice besides moving on basically. It's a very touchy subject all around for everyone I'm sure.
Anyway, looking forward, I had mentioned what drew me to her, was her looks. Below is a photo, on the top left is a picture of Kyle when he was 8 weeks old. Under that is him as an adult, doing what he always did, smile. On the right is little Nova. She's of no relation, and yet she looks just as he did as a baby, and was conceived when Kyle left us. I won't make this about religion or spiritual, but fate, and maybe even Kyle, sent me this puppy. She's got oddly the same mannerisms that he did at her age, and the same weird quirks and charms. A little spitfire with a smile. I hadn't even been looking or wanting a puppy but I got what I didn't even know I needed. She's wrapped herself around all my family's heart, and most the crew, Corgi wise, has already accepted she's a member. So far her favorite toy is a silly empty water bottle, and she absolutely hates her bubblegum smelling medicine. She's been good at not going potty in her kennel, and not too bad about potty training inside the house (have I mentioned I HATE carpet with dogs...). She definitely hasn't been worked with on bite inhibition, so we are working heavily on that. She also hasn't been used to a lot of the "in house" sounds, cause there's a fair amount that overly scare her. Not to mention the collar was literally a torture device apparently, as she literally curled into a ball, face in the corner of the wall, and refuses to move as she cried once I put the collar on her. Weirdest response I've ever seen from an 8 week old puppy, but I assume she's never had any type of collar on. Overall we're doing great here, and will update more maybe this weekend with more pictures. She's given me a chance to hit some topics coming up in relation to all that this experience has been.

I'm going to make this very long winded post, only as a reminder to everyone to please make sure you ask all questions, have a list of criteria, and when in doubt, ask friends about breeders you're looking into! Two weeks ago I had seen a breeder post that she had puppies she was needing to find homes because of a medical emergency. I had not been looking for a puppy but inquired out of curiosity and wanting to know what prices even were anymore. The pup was advertised as AKC champion bloodline (which.... is often only a selling "feature" meaning nothing important). What got my attention was the female left, looked beyond identical to my Kyle that just passed away this year. Not only did the two look identical, but in the timing she was conceived close to when Kyle passed. I felt the world pulling me to this puppy. So we agreed to get her. We got there and the world became more dire. She was coughing and congested and raspy sounding. I put on the biggest lie I've ever had to mask on, cause like hell was I not leaving with that puppy. First she told me it was that she got water in her nowe. Come to find out she had used essential oil spray on her, as well as bleach and chemicals to clean thier cage and barn. There were so many problems with this and I can't believe she is a "suggested" breeder with AKC inspected! She didn't believe in health testing, and the puppies were not vet checked. She's been breeding for 16 years and all we got, was a sick puppy, a very non-detailed record stating she was dewormed and had one puppy shot. No dates for deworming, so bare minimum at best, as well as a plastic sack of a few scoops of puppy food. That was it. 16 years of an AKC inspected and "suggested and highly rated" breeder, who doesn't believe in health testing, doesn't do vet checks, uses bleach and chemicals to clean puppy areas, uses essential oil spray ON the puppies, and most all of her dogs live outside in a dirt pen with fans for 100 degree days. These are the people that make $$$ but for some weird reason the breeders that do the right thing, struggle cause we don't make any money on our puppies. I paid $800 "discounted" for a puppy that she did nothing with but fed, chemically cleaned, and took photos of. I didn't receive her papers, as they weren't "mailed back" yet, and at this point it doesn't matter as she's a pet anyway. So everyone meet Nova. She may have a long journey of life ahead with things, but for now, she's Kyle's gift to remind me that I put my heart and entire soul into my family, and every single puppy that has ever been in this house IS FAMILY to me! I will post more about her (the good, bad, etc.) in coming days.

It's been over a month since we've posted, and as per what seems to be the usual, we've mostly just been dealing with chaos all around. My grandfather (human wise) seems to be doing very poorly these days and we are worried we are on limited time. Take that with trying to survive the summer heat, save money for a long 2 week trip this fall, and keep up with the regular things around the house and all that needed maintenance. The dogs have all been doing well, and it's still oddly somber and quiet around here most of the time. Still missing Kyle a lot, and struggle at times when we find some of his things we haven't yet to need to come across before he passed. We do still plan to do some public events with some of the dogs, so hope to see our local pup parents if we come across each other! More on that to come. We took Harley this year to a 4th of July festival and she did ok until kids started lighting firecrackers, so work is in progress. Here's some photos of our better moments of the outing!

Summer isn't officially "here" quite yet, but it already feels like it for sure! With that a reminder that concrete and asphalt heat up very quickly and can easily burn paw pads and skin! If you live somewhere with a lot of those, or metal structures, be sure to plan for walks in the cooler part of the day and check paw pads often. We also have firework season upon us, so make sure your pups are secure if they get scared and make sure collar tags are up to date, or microchips! We will be taking Tourni to a few firework shows, but she doesn't get scared like most dogs do, so I don't advise doing it with yours unless you know they will be ok. We've also got some big plans ahead for us to be traveling down to Florida in October, and some localized pet events, so maybe we will get to see some of you all out and about! We're doing ok here, just staying busy and trying to get through my most unfavorable time of year (I don't do the heat lol). 7 years ago miss Harley Quinn came to live with us! Can't believe it's been that long.

A Facebook memory today came across and it was of Kyle teaching our first litter of babies how to explore the great big world (yard), and it made me tear up a little. He loved his babies so much and was the best "uncle" they never knew they needed, but definitely got. Tourniquet is my only other child that somewhat enjoys puppies it seems, and as she's getting older she prefers more moderately behaved older pups only. Kyle was so special... there will never be anyone close. I miss you old boy ♥️ I also apologize it's been so quiet here and I've not had time to really be on both ends. We've had a whirlwind of a past month, and it's taken me by surprise. We do hope to keep updating and posting here and there though and as always are here if any puppy parents ever need us! We hope everyone is doing well and sending love to you all.

We waited until today, as to not ruin anyone's holiday weekend... we know many of you loved Kyle when you got to meet our family here. Unfortunately Kyle said his final goodbye last Friday. It's been so quiet and feels brittle without him here. For 17 years he stood by my side, always catching whatever may fall, me included. He ushered in wisdom and taught most every puppy that came to be here. Getting to meet the newborn babies and really little puppies was his favorite things to do, beside eat and roll on his back for belly rubs. He was my heart dog through and through, and had been there for all my biggest accomplishments and all my biggest failures. It's going to be hard, for a long time...

26/03/2024

Wanted to get on here and wish everyone an (early) Happy Easter. We are doing ok here mostly, with some struggles popping up. Kyle is not doing well these days and we've been focusing our best efforts with him and his time left here with us. These last few years have really kicked us where it hurt the most, and trying to recover from it all is still a work in progress. We keep hoping by some miracle we can find a way to keep a dream, and not let it completely die. Most of everyone we know is having difficulties right now, and we just want to tell you that we GET IT! Our love is sending all your way in your battles and remember there is sunshine again, on one new day after a week of rain. We hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend regardless of how it is, or is not, celebrated. Young Ghastly decided to share some photos with you of how big he's getting!

Happy Valentine's Day! We wanted to wish everyone a great day regardless how you spend it, be it alone or with someone special. Please remember to be kind to yourself and love yourself no matter what! ♥️

We would like to announce our new family member, lovingly named after a game we enjoy, Ghastly! With retiring and having rehomed our previous breeding lineup dogs, it felt kind of lonely for Kesha to not have a "boy toy" to argue with, as she doesn't prefer the company of females outside. So my husband got his "Christmas present" this little brindle boy. Yes he is a mixed breed, no I do not advocate or will I push to get mixed breed dogs for the price of good genetic tested purebred dogs. I simply did not pay purebred price for him, nor a ballpark of anywhere close, and I do not reccomend his breed mixture to those that haven't dealt with headstrong dog tendencies. However, I HAVE had lots of experience with this breed mix, and likely lucked out on his temperament being quite well balanced for the time being. Mr. Ghastly is a lover and enjoys playing with his toys, favorite being his rubber ball, and likes to harass (verbally) the cats on the front porch. Everyone has taken quite a liking to him and he fits in well. We made this choice, as to let Kyle be able to usher in the new man of the house, since sadly he is not doing too well these days and I'm afraid to say a long hard decision will likely soon be coming. For now, enjoy some Ghastly pictures!

13/01/2024

With the new year upon us, we have decided to go ahead and make our "hard decision" post and get it out of the way... we had hoped with taking a few years break maybe it would settle and we would be able to come back to Royal Anthem with a fresh start and a new lineup for possible future litters, but unfortunately that's just not in the cards. With as terrible as the economy and inflation is, it's affecting people's abilities to afford pets, and as a result the amount of dogs being rehomed, abandon, and turned into shelters is beyond an all time high. Unfortunately covid also created the "ability" for people to decide to start thier own breeding practices and the amount of Corgis being bred right now is incredibly high, which is not a great thing! People are breeding and not testing, or taking into consideration health and temperament. We also have another factor to play, which I will not fully get into because to a degree it's somewhat hypocritical of me to do so, but the people breeding the now popular mix of "American Corgis", which I'm not fond of as a whole due to past rescues we've had of this mix. So sadly from here out we simply will be switching our page over from a business to a fan page, where we will post updates on our own dogs, help advertise rescue / etc., and updates on our past pups as we get them as well. We do have a new family member introduction to make later this month, but for now we wanted to make the call as we've had new likes and followers recently. ♥️

We hope everyone has a Happy New Year however you choose to celebrate it (or not, we don't judge!) Looking into the next year with best wishes for everyone!
