HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?
Please support our troops!
"I'm an American Soldier. I will always do my duty, no matter what the price. I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice. I don't want to die for you, but if dyin's asked of me, I'll bear that cross with honor, 'cause freedom don't come free. I'm an American soldier. Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand. When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right. I'M OUT HERE ON THE FRONT LINE.
SLEEP IN PEACE TONIGHT.
"American Soldier" lyrics, by Toby Keith

We are a small breeding/exhibiting kennel of top quality Corgis. It's our goal to produce the best healthy, sound, quality corgis we can that will give many years of enjoyment to the homes they find their way into. As testimony of that, we're proud to have bred and owner handled 4 consecutive dogs in 3 consecutive generations that have gone to top rankings.
Our home is nestled atop a hill, on eight peaceful acres, in Southwest Idaho where the corgis have two and a half securely fenced acres to run and play. Visitors are ALWAYS welcome!

With the recent discovery of the mutated gene responsible for Degenerative Myelopathy (see information links listed below)a DNA test is being offered through the Orthopedic Foundation of Animals (OFA)licensed by the University of Missouri. (This is the SAME gene that causes ALS, Lou Gehrigs Disease,in people) The test will provide one of three results for breeders testing their dogs;
1) CLEAR - dog does NOT HAVE the mutated gene, therefore, cannot pass it on to its get or get the disease.
2) CARRIER - dog has one copy of the mutated gene and can pass it on or get the disease.
3) "AT RISK" - dog has two copies of the gene and stands a risk of actually developing the disease as well as passing it on to get.
An "At Risk" test result, however, does not guarantee the dog WILL develop the disease. Research is continuing, hoping to discover what "triggers" the gene to cause the disease to develop.
I urge ANYONE searching for a new puppy to educate themselves on this disease by visiting the links below AND
REQUEST TEST RESULTS FROM THE BREEDERS YOU ARE CONTACTING!!
From this point forward, WE WILL GUARANTEE NO PUPPY PRODUCED AT CASTELL WILL EVER AGAIN CARRY BOTH GENES!
Castell is "Back in Black"!
We, currently, have a few dogs looking for "retirement" homes. If you have a place in your heart and home for such a treasure or, perhaps, you have an elderly parent needing a companion please contact us for details. You may use the corgi email icon on the bottom of this page. Serious inquiries are always welcome.
