Has the honour of being Cardigems Kennels first home-bred champion Cardigan Welsh Corgi. She was also the vanguard of more “firsts” in all-breeds achievements for her breed in Western Australia. 

“Minty” was very lightly shown for many BOB; class and class in group and show wins, including BOB and Puppy in Group at Western Australia’s premier all-breeds championship events, the Perth Royal Show and the Western Classic.

 As the sole Cardigan entry from Western Australia, Minty was flown to Sydney and attended the Australian National Specialty in 2000.  In her first event, the Puppy Sweepstakes 9-12 months catering for both Pembrokes and Cardigans, she was awarded 4^th out of 15 entries and was the only Cardigan placed.  Minty then went on to win both the Cardigan Puppy Bitch class and Puppy of Breed.

With her sunny, outgoing disposition and athleticism, the bouncy Minty probably holds the height record for vertical lift-offs of joy!  She is now enjoying retirement as the beloved pet of the Thomas family in Perth.
