Who We Are

Hello, We Are Corgis-in-a-Blanket

My name is Stacey Marquee-Flentje and by vocation I am a Clinical Psychologist with a private practice in Kalamazoo, Michigan. My husband is a pediatrician as well as a child/adolescent/adult psychiatrist. His primary work is with adolescents and adults in the corrections system. He works with children in the foster care system as well as. We have been breeding dogs (Schipperkes and Pembroke Welsh Corgis) for more than 11 years.

We are located in Kalamazoo, Michigan and have lived here for about 7 years. Prior to that, we spent 14 years in the Grand Rapids area. We have 4 adult children. Our oldest graduated with honors from Mills College in Oakland California in May of 2017 with a degree in English with an emphasis in creative writing. She is currently working on her MA in Library Sciences and working at the public library. Our next oldest child graduated in June 2020 from Western Michigan University with a degree in secondary education. Our third oldest child graduated with honors from Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2019 and taught English and Spanish at a local high school. Our youngest is 23 and is currently pursuing a degree in biology and has a keen interest genetic engineering and is actively pursuing a career in the military. Ok, I'm done bragging about our children.

Our Fur Babies

Our Pembroke Dam is Arianwen ( Are-we-on-when) (Renny) and her name means First Light of Silver. Renny came to us from Missouri and has an amazing personality. She is feisty, rambunctious, and always on the move. She is a true adventurer and loves to soar from place to place: From whatever height she can manage; be it a pond dock or the back of a couch. She is an absolutely AMAZING mother! Quite honestly, I believe her to be the most attentive and nurturing mama we have ever had the privilege of breeding.

Renny

Our emerging dam is Myfanwy ( Muh-Fun-Wuh) (we call her Gwinny or the Floof) and her name is Welsh for "My Precious". Gwinny is a Black Headed Tri-Color with the dilute gene. Corgis with this color variation are referred to as "Bluies." The dilute gene is a double recessive gene, which Gwidgeon also possesses.

Until April 2020, we got roughly 25% bluies, but chose to retire our dam (Ceridwen (Curr-id-when) (Curry) who also carries the gene in June 2020. The choice to retire Curry was for her own health as she had difficulty with 2 litters in a row and did not produce milk for either litter. Of course, there was a level of sadness connected to spaying Curry as bluies are quite rare and we have loved having them as part of our breeding program.

Imagine our absolute glee when we found Gwinny available in Texas. She possesses all the genetic specifications we require, so my husband and I traveled to Texas in September of 2020 to pick her up. We began breeding Gwinny in the Summer of 2022.

On the left is Olifer Taliesen (Ollie). His name means small warrior and singer of poetry. He will be our new sire in February, 2024.

On the right is Gruffudd Medwyn (Gruff). His name means prince and strong friend. He will spend his time being Greg's new best friend.

In Memoriam

Gwidgion (rhymes with pigeon), who went by Gwidgie, passed in January 2023. "Gwidgion" is Welsh for Singer of Love Songs. Gwidgion was whelped on a horse farm in Wisconsin and had a quite an attuned herding instinct. His personality was absolutely delightful and he was quite fond of human attention. He was also quite the "talker". This will make sense to you if you have had the privilege of having a Corgi in your life. Gwidgie sired so many beautiful corgis, and is intensely missed.

Puppy Praise

“Corgis in a Blanket is an ethical, hobby breeder that breeds for health and wellness and to better the breed. The process from beginning to end was incredible. They provided updates through the pregnancy, and helped me decide what kind of personality I was looking for in my pup. As a result, Kevin feels like he was born to be in this family. He is the perfect companion for my golden retriever who is his very best friend in the world, and he is a gorgeous specimen true to the AKC standard. I was able to visit multiple times prior to bringing him home, and they did their due diligence to make sure that I would be a suitable home for him which I very much appreciate. They have a return contract so there’s anything happens in my life where I am unable to take care of him, they will gladly take him back. There is no question, that they love Kevin as much as I do."

“We happened to come across Corgis-in-a-Blanket online when we finally made the decision to adopt a puppy. There was so much information about Corgis on the page that we felt comfortable that were making the right choice. It was so easy to get in touch with Stacey and the application process was quick and easy. We were able to share who we were through the application form and I love that she wanted to FaceTime to meet the family.It helped us figure out which puppy would be the best fit for our home. The time invested in the process showed me that our new puppy was coming from someone who wants the best for their pups as well as their new family. The whole adoption process took a few days, and we were even given the opportunity to meet our little guy in person if we wanted to, before we got to bring him home! He even got to bring a little bit of his home with him in his little care package Stacey sent with us when we picked him up. We got Gizmo and he loves his big sister Schatzi (German Shepherd), wants to play with the 4 cats and he loves our family and neighbors. He has provided us too many laughs to count and his zoomies are the best. His temperament is great, he is healthy and he is the cutest little pup, we could not be happier with our decision to adopt Gizmo. I have even reached out with questions about Gizmo months after the adoption and Stacy got back to me quickly with some great information."

“In May of 2021 my partner and I got our first corgi from “Corgis in a Blanket” and we could not have had a better experience! From the time we first reached out to inquire about her upcoming litters to the time we got to meet the pups, Stacey was responsive and more than willing to answer our questions. We got to meet the puppies when they were about 5 weeks old, and Stacey let us sit with them and take our time getting to know their personalities so we could find the best fit. We were blown away by how much love and care they put into raising these dogs! We really wanted to find an ethical breeder that would put as much love into our future friend as we would, and we found that and more from “Corgis in a Blanket.” Our pup is the sweetest and most well-adjusted dog we have ever met and is easygoing and loving to every person and animal she meets. We have already recommended “Corgis in a Blanket” to several people and will absolutely be coming back for our next Corgi!"
