Raised in a family — not a kennel.

The McGovern Family Legacy
McGovern Family Corgis is built on a lifelong passion for raising healthy, happy companions. Growing up on a local farm, our founder Tiffany developed a deep connection to animal care that now defines our intentional breeding program.
With two decades of experience, we treat every corgi as a member of our family. Our puppies are raised in our home, handled daily by our family and extended family, and prepared to transition seamlessly into their new forever homes.
Dedicated to tradition. Rooted in family. Committed to excellence.
Our Legacy & Passion
From a young age, Tiffany was the kid who always wanted to be in the whelping box. Her family raised Labrador Retrievers, and she was there for every step of the process—late-night deliveries, bottle feeding when needed, and watching each puppy grow into their own personality. Those early litters left a lasting mark. Tiffany fell in love with the joy of raising puppies, the responsibility of doing it well, and the privilege of seeing them join their forever families.
Over time, that passion narrowed in on one special breed: the corgi. Their big hearts, bright minds, and loyal nature felt like the perfect fit for a family-focused program.
Today, that passion has grown into something even more meaningful. McGovern Family Corgis is truly a family-run program, with Tiffany working closely alongside her parents, Heather and Bill Gollihur. Together, all three are actively involved in the care, development, and raising of each puppy—combining decades of experience with a shared commitment to doing things the right way. Tiffany remains hands-on daily, working side by side with her parents to ensure every puppy is raised with intention, structure, and love.
Raising puppies has been part of our family for generations. Tiffany’s grandmother, Jean, first passed down her knowledge while raising Maltese, and her son, Bill—Tiffany’s dad—continued that legacy through his work with Championship Labrador Retrievers. That same foundation was then passed on to Tiffany, who built the program you see today.
Now, that love is being carried into the next generation. Tiffany’s children are already learning, helping, and sharing in the day-to-day care of the puppies—continuing a tradition that has become a true part of our family.
Raised with Heart
Today, McGovern Family Corgis thrives as a collaborative family effort. Tiffany, Heather, and Bill combined their expertise to create a program that prioritizes socialization above all else. With a large extended family of children and grandchildren, our puppies are naturally exposed to children and various people from a very young age, making them exceptionally well-adjusted and confident.
Experience
With over 20 years of hands-on experience, we’ve been involved in every stage of raising puppies — from delivery to placement. This foundation gives us a deep understanding of both the responsibility and the joy that comes with breeding.
Family Environment & Socialization
What truly sets McGovern Family Corgis apart is the heart behind our program. With a large, hands-on family involved in raising every litter, our puppies are surrounded by constant interaction, play, and real-life experiences from the very beginning.
Intentional Breeding
Every pairing is thoughtfully planned with a focus on temperament, structure, and overall quality. We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach — each litter is carefully considered to produce well-rounded, loving companions.
Our Values
Real-Life Socialization
Raised in the middle of everyday family life, our puppies are exposed to children, household sounds, and constant interaction. With multiple generations involved, they grow up confident, well-adjusted, and ready to transition into their new homes.
