Purchasing a Puppy

I'm looking for folks who love Corgis, have a fenced yard, are looking for a long-term companion and who have kids, other pets and lifestyles that will be compatible with a new Corgi. I do not sell to puppy brokers or pet shops. I send puppies to their new homes with limited registration papers in almost all cases. This means the puppies are AKC registered, BUT their "limited registration" prevents their offspring from being AKC Registered. Why do this? Well first, some puppies are pets not breeding animals and most prospective homes have no interest in breeding anyway. Secondly, there are always a few people who are interested in breeding for the wrong reasons. So limited papers protects the pups from folks like that as they are not interested in pups with "limited papers". Having said that, there are a few folks that I know or can verify will be good homes for pups that have breeding papers. I hope everyone will understand this is not snobbiness - I love my dogs and want them to have happy homes as loving pets first and foremost. Once we've had a chance to visit and have agreed that you/your family and the puppy are a good match, you may reserve a puppy by completing and returning a buyer's agreement. The agreement should be accompanied by your $300 non-refundable deposit or you may purchase your puppy in full. Payment Methods: Check (deposits only), Cash, Visa or MasterCard or PayPal. Puppies come with a health certificate, guarantee and AKC Registration. I'll be happy to have your puppy microchipped for an additional $50 so that everything is done when your pup arrives at your home. All of my puppies have been raised in my home with lots of attention and come pre-loved and socialized for a great start in their new life with you. My Never Homeless Guarantee - If you purchase a puppy from me and find at a later date that your situation has changed, call me. I'll work with you to find the puppy a new adoptive home or possibly the dog could be returned to me for placement with a new family. My concern is helping you find the right home for the dog so everyone "wins" in the end. Shipping or transportation back to me will be at your expense. This is not an offer to refund your purchase price. I am simply standing behind you and my dogs for their lifetime.

Is a Corgi right for you?

Historically Corgis have been herding dogs, family companions, and guardians of the farm. They continue today to be working dogs and companions for their owners. Given the natural energy and instinct to herd, Corgis do need time outdoors and a fenced yard is a big plus. If you do not have a fenced yard plan on daily walks to ensure adequate exercise and time outdoors. Corgis are energetic dogs, and boredom will likely cause them to think up unacceptable projects for themselves.

If you decide a Corgi will be the right breed for you, you'll be in good company. Corgis are the favorite breed of Queen Elizabeth, along with many other famous people including Stephen King.

My experience has been good with Corgis and kids, but be sure to think about your children, their ages and temperaments before adding any dog to your family. If your kids will want to stick beans up the dog's nose you better get a Labrador or a Bulldog. Also remember that herding dogs have embedded instinctive behaviors just like retrievers do. SOOO don't be surprised that running through your house or yard will get any Corgi worth their salt all jazzed up. In this situation, you might get a gentle nip at the back of your foot because you are being herded! It's natural, they mean no harm, but think about that before you or your children initiate a game of chase with a Corgi.

In the 1920's Corgis were recognized as pure-bred dogs in the United Kingdom. In 1934 the Pembroke and the Cardigan Corgis were recognized by both the English Kennel Club and the American Kennel Club as separate breeds.

Corgis are smart dogs and can be sensitive as well. Although I admit mine are a little on the rotten side, they are easy to train with consistent handling and make excellent companions for either rural or urban families.

As with any dog, your commitment to proper diet and regular medical care with yearly vaccinations and regular worming is very important. Good pet care also includes regular exercise, grooming, a regular check of your dog's teeth, toenail trimming and a collar with identification and your phone number are also needed. You should not allow you Corgi to become overweight. Just like us, a thinner dog will live a healthier life.

Basic obedience training is recommended for a well behaved companion, one that is educated on how to behave and what is expected will be a more enjoyable pet for many years.

SHED-O-MATICS - yep, you gotta know this and be okay with it to be a Corgi owner. Corgi's shed nearly year-round. Their hair is soft and clean, doesn't have natural oils that make it stinky like some other dogs, but trust me - tumbleweeds of Corgi hair come with the territory when you have a Corgi in the family. So get a good vacuum cleaner, a good brush and roll with it ;)

The web site for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America (PWCCA) is a great resource offering information, photos and lots of interesting reading on Corgis. The site may be found at: http://www.pembrokecorgi.org/

Health

The puppies make their first trip to the Vet at 3 days for removal of tails and dewclaws. Some Pembroke Corgis are born with no tail, but many are born with a tail that is removed at 3 days of age. Cardigan Corgis are the ones that have tails into adulthood - a closely related breed of Corgi, but different from the Pembroke (all of our Corgis are Pems). We also have our vet look for any obvious signs of trouble at this initial appointment. The babies are started on regular worming and baths at 4 weeks. Baths keep the puppies clean and also teach them from an early age that a bath is a good thing. As we bathe and handle them, we focus on each puppy to check for developmental progress and ensure everything is as it should be. At 6 weeks we go to the vet for their health exam and first shots. All the puppies are given a thorough exam and our vet signs off on each one in the spot designated on the buyer's agreement. I also affix the label from the vaccine to the agreement so this info comes to you with your new puppy.

Health Guarantee (as printed in the buyer's agreement) The seller certifies that this puppy is current on vaccinations and de-worming, and per veterinarian's exam is in good physical health. For this guarantee to be valid, it is the buyer's responsibility to take the puppy to a state licensed veterinarian within 7 days of purchase for an examination, at the buyers expense. If the veterinarian finds the puppy in good health OR if the buyer fails to have an examination within 7 days, the seller will assume no further responsibility. Should the veterinarian find a health concern with the puppy, the buyer must notify the seller in writing within the 7 day period and provide a written diagnosis from the examining veterinarian. The buyer agrees to make the puppy available to the seller's veterinarian for a second opinion within 7 days of notification of a health concern. If the same health concern is detected by the seller's veterinarian, the buyer may exchange the puppy for a similar one, pending availability, or may receive a full refund of the purchase price (does not include shipping from seller to buyer). Should the buyer decide to keep the puppy after the health issue is fully discussed, all expense and responsibility will be the buyer's from that point forward. This guarantee does not cover death, illness or injury resulting from abuse or neglect on the part of the buyer.

Shipping

Need your puppy shipped to you? E-mail me for info on air travel. Average cost is $450 depending on destination. This includes everything related to puppy travel between my home and yours.

PLEASE NOTE: as of summer 2013 there are new government regulations that require family "hobby breeders", like myself, to only place puppies with families who have personally visited me to select their puppies. If needed, there is a provision that allows you to send a friend or family to make the visit on your behalf. Just give me a call and we can discuss options.
