Pembroke Welsh Corgis, raised underfoot in Southeast Portland.
Biscuit and Bean were our first two Corgis. Bean came first, in 2013, a black-headed tri with opinions about the mail carrier. Biscuit arrived two years later: red and white, bossy, and the best dog either of us has owned. She became our foundation dam. Bean is 13 now, neutered since he was a teenager, and still supervises every litter from the couch.
We're Tess and Andy. We live in Southeast Portland with a fenced yard, a permanent pile of rain towels by the back door and six Corgis. We've bred Pembrokes since 2017, two or three litters a year, every one of them born and raised in our living room.

Fig x Olive, Summer 2026 (the Bakery litter)
Six puppies born August 2, three boys and three girls: three red and whites who take after Fig and three red-headed tris who take after Olive. The tris look mostly black and white right now. Their red will spread across the head and shoulders over the next several months. Fig is clear for DM, vWD1 and EIC, so every puppy in this litter is clear or a carrier and none can be affected. Olive doesn't carry fluffy, so these are all standard coats. Tails were docked and front dewclaws removed at 3 days. We did the 7 week evaluation this weekend and families have started choosing. Pretzel and Crumpet are still available. Everyone goes home October 4, at 9 weeks.

Meet Our Parents
Every puppy's future starts with its parents. See our health-tested sires and dams, their titles, certifications, and personalities.
Health Guarantee
Every puppy has a two-year written guarantee against hereditary conditions, including hip dysplasia, inherited eye disease, vWD1 and EIC. Because of how we pair parents, no puppy of ours can test at risk for DM, and we put that in the contract too. If your veterinarian confirms a covered condition we refund up to the purchase price or offer a puppy from a later litter, and your dog stays with you. We ask for a vet visit within 72 hours of pickup. Any Biscuit & Bean dog can come back to us at any age, no questions and no fee.
How it goes 🎾
From hello to homecoming in 4 wags.
Raised in the living room
No kennel building and no puppy room. Litters grow up next to the couch with the dishwasher running, the doorbell ringing and older dogs teaching manners.
Pairings planned around DM
At least one parent in every litter tests clear for degenerative myelopathy, so no puppy can be at risk. You get both parents' results in writing.
Straight talk on backs and weight
We show you what a lean Corgi looks and feels like, send you home with a ramp plan, and tell you which stairs and jumps to skip in the first year.
Support after pickup
Every family joins our owners' group chat, and we answer the 10 p.m. messages about chewing, barking and what they just ate off the sidewalk.

Good questions!
We've got answers 🐾
Yes. The AKC standard for the Pembroke calls for a docked tail, and our veterinarian docks tails and removes front dewclaws when puppies are 3 days old. Once in a while a Pembroke is born with a natural bobtail, and we leave those alone. If you've seen Pembrokes with a full, foxy tail, they were most likely born in Europe, where docking is banned in most countries. If you want a puppy left with a natural tail, tell us before the litter is born. We will do it for a committed family, but it has to be decided before day 3.
Every parent has OFA hips and a CAER eye exam by a veterinary ophthalmologist, repeated every year while the dog is being bred. By DNA we test for degenerative myelopathy (DM), von Willebrand disease type 1 (vWD1), exercise-induced collapse (EIC) and the fluffy coat gene. Each dog's results are on its page, carriers included. You get copies of both parents' paperwork with your puppy.
Degenerative myelopathy is a late-onset spinal cord disease, and the gene behind it is very common in Pembrokes. Most of the breed carries at least one copy. A dog needs two copies to be at risk, and even then many never develop it. Our own Biscuit tests at risk and is healthy at 11. We still don't want to gamble with it, so every litter here has at least one DM-clear parent. That makes each puppy either clear or a carrier, and never at risk.
Pembrokes are a dwarf breed with a long spine, and disc disease (IVDD) is the thing to guard against. Most of the prevention is in your hands. Keep your Corgi lean enough that you can feel ribs easily, use a ramp or lift them on and off furniture, carry puppies on stairs for the first few months, and hold off on repetitive jumping and long runs until they are about a year old. A fit, trim Corgi hikes, herds and runs Fast CAT well into double digits.
“Tess had us feel Hazel's ribs before we left their living room and told us to check every week. We laughed, and then we did it. Hazel is three, 24 pounds, and our vet uses her as the example of what a Corgi should weigh.”
