Welcome to Hagaren Cardigans!
In the fall of 2004 I fell in love with a blue-eyed, tan-pointed blue merle boy. The rest is history!
Hagaren is a small kennel specializing in blue merles. The blue merle Cardigan is a gray or silvery color, varying from pale "smoke" to dark "slate" and marbled with black markings. These markings can range from minimal black, as with Shiner, to covering most of the colored area of the coat, as with Blue. The latter is called "cryptic." Blue merles may have brindle or tan points, and are allowed to have blue or partially blue eyes, as well as "butterfly" (black and pink-spotted) noses.
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is an amazing breed - intelligent and funny, and beautiful in their way. A well-bred, well-socialized Cardigan is a wonderful life-long partner who will keep you laughing.
All of my dogs live in the house and enjoy couch and bed privileges. They are integral and beloved members of the family.

PUPPY OVERKILL
Only a fool would have three puppies at once - and here I am! Left to right are: June aka "Allegro Celestial Charm", Dexter aka "Hagaren's Street Spirit", and Ella aka "Hagaren's Kinetic". Dexter and Ella started their show career in September, and June will be six months old in December.
Dexter and Ella are from my inaugural litter, and have been doing me proud in the Bred By Exhibitor class. In six shows, Ella has been WB three times, and RWB to a major once. Dexter has gone WD/BOW for three shows, and BOB for two of those. He has been RWD twice, and took a BBE Group 1 at our last show. I am so proud of my babies!
June's litter was born around the time my puppies were going to their new homes, and it was such a lovely breeding that I couldn't bear to pass it up. June is from my friend Jeri Lamy's first litter, and is my first brindle after five years of blues. She is a doll and a promising pup as well, and I'm excited to see how she does in the ring. Already people flock to her to comment on how nice she is. Check out her page (when I get it up) for details on this lovely girl.
