We are the owners of Lone Pine Corgis. Adam Somerville is my beloved husband of over 16 years. He is a strong supporter of all my hopes & dreams. He enjoys working at an engineering company. He loves to fish, hunt, play video games, & spend time with our family. 

I am Miranda Somerville, the one behind this dream. I have loved animals my whole life. I have always wanted to own, raise, & show horses & dogs.

In 2019, we brought Riggs home & the exciting adventure of Corgis began! 

​

I am a lifetime learner with a passion for self-improvement. A firm believer in constant education for humans & animals, I seek individuals with professional experience to help us reach our goals.
