Welcome

We fell in love with the Corgi breed many years ago. Yogi Bear (Ch Curig King of Ivywin) started it all in 1972. He was a gift from Barbara’s father, Lawrence Beilby to her mother Bernice. Barbara and Bernice were so captivated by Yogi’s intelligence and beauty, that they immediately launched right into showing and breeding, and never looked back.

Our love of the dogs and shared philosophy on breeding have allowed the us to achieve success along many avenues of the Corgi world. Despite some geographical difficulties (Barbara lives near Ottawa, Ontario and Juliana resides in Edmonton, Alberta) we maintain a small, quality breeding programme which relies on careful selection and health testing. While we participate in various performance disciplines as time permits, our primary focus is on showing at Specialties both in Canada and the USA.

Barbara du Pree

Barbara started showing and breeding these wonderful dogs together with her mother, the late Bernice Beilby in 1972. They achieved much success in the show ring and in producing lovely companion dogs, using combined blood lines from the United Kingdom, the United States, New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Barbara went on to obtain her Canadian Kennel Club judging license completing the Herding group in 2011.

Her passion is judging and showing at Pembroke Welsh Corgi Specialties and had the honour of judging at the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America in 2014 and the Welsh Corgi League Show in 2022. She retired from judging in late 2022 following judging at the Austrailian National Specialty.

Juliana du Pree

Juliana was virtually born with a leash in her hand, and definitely inherited her mother and grandmother’s love of the breed and is now a third generation breeder. Despite a hiatus which she took to pursue a career in ballet and later to complete her degree in Visual Communication Design, Juliana jumped back into the Corgi world with enthusiasm, training, showing, and breeding from Western Canada since 2000.

Juliana hopes to follow in her mother's footsteps and is pursing her Canadian Kennel Club judges licence and hopes to complete the requirements in the coming years. She enjoys using her professional skills to help educate others on this enchanting breed.
