We found Sonya and Summerland Kennel’s info on the AKC Breeder’s ‘puppies’ page.  We were interested in a male Cardigan, and while none were available, Sonya’s bitch Summer was pregnant.  Before consideration, Sonya and I talked in depth about dogs, my experience, what I wanted from a puppy.   By the time we met, Sonya and I had talked on the phone so much that I felt we already knew each other.  Ozzy has proved an exceptional dog!   We are not a Conformation dog family but love dog sports.  We arranged a co-ownership when it became apparent that Ozzy (CH Summerland King of Kings) was a dog who could pass on positive traits preserving the Cardigan Corgi Breed. He placed either 1st or Best of Opposite in almost every conformation appearance, earning his Championship title in Nov., 2025. He is kind, friendly, energetic and intelligent.  He works hard in AKC Scent Work and has received several titles. He loves tracking sports and excels in Trailing and Locating and Urban Locating (rat detection sports).  Through our collaboration with Ozzy, I have had the pleasure of meeting several Summerland Kennels Cardigan adults and puppies.  Summerland puppies come out socialized, friendly and practically housebroken.  I confidently refer Summerland Kennels to any serious prospective Cardigan Corgi owner.
