Southern Colorado in Penrose

How Do I Purchase A Corgi From You?

Begin by filling out the puppy application, I will then contact you if I have puppies available

How Much Do Your Puppies Cost?

My puppies start at $2000 to $2500 depending on bloodline and Limited AKC Registration.

When Can I Pick Up My Puppy?

I would notify you when it’s safe for the puppy to go to their new home - for my program that is usually around 9 weeks to ensure they have adequate immunity from their shots

How Do I Place A Deposit Or Pay The Full Amount?

I use Venmo for payments and ask that a deposit be made when the pups are two weeks old and I know they are good and strong with full payment due before you pick up the puppy.

Do I Have To Spay Or Neuter My Puppy?

Yes, since I sell pet Corgis, not for breeding purposes. On occasion, I may allow a pup to be purchased for breeding but there are a much higher fee and a serious background check. Too many people have decided that Corgis are a money-making machine and are breeding not for the love of the breed, but of the money they think they can make. If you see elsewhere on my site a breakdown of what it costs to raise a litter, you’ll see very little profit if it’s done right.

I Have Made My Deposit, Now What?

I will continue to send photos weekly so you can watch the growth of the puppy you’ve chosen and will keep you updated on your puppy’s growth. When the puppy reaches 8 weeks old I will arrange a time for you to pick up your puppy the next week.

What Is The Difference Between Full Registration And Limited Registration?

Full registration means you have the right to breed your puppy when it’s old enough, but I sell pet Corgis, not for breeding unless an agreement is worked out ahead of time and an additional fee paid. So 99% of all puppies will have Limited registration, that ONLY limits breeding, you still have all the benefits of the AKC for shows, trials, information, clinics, etc..

Do You Offer Shipping Options?

No, I don’t believe young puppies should be shipped. However, if you can’t pick the puppy up yourself I would contact the airlines and find a flight nanny, who will fly with your puppy in the cabin, to its destination. During Covid, I believe the only safe way is to plan on picking the pup up yourself.

What Steps Do You Take To Ensure That Puppies And Dogs Stay Healthy?

All my breeding Corgis are DNA tested before I ever breed them to ensure your puppy is not at risk for DM, vWd, EIC, has good hips and eyes, and have a thorough examination done on the puppy at birth, at time of the first shot, and before you pick him/her up. Their Mom is fed the best feed possible and I continue to feed the puppies either Royal Canin or Hill’s Science Diet Puppy with a small dose of fish oil with Omega 3.

Can I Pick Up My Puppy In Person?

Yes. I encourage that. Or if in Colorado I can arrange to meet you at a central location.

Do You Ever Have Any Adults Available?

On occasion. If one of my females has issues with breeding or difficulty delivering, I will retire her and if she’s young enough to adapt easily to a new home, I will consider it. But it’s not something I do often. The person/family still has to go through the adoption process as if they were doing it for a puppy.

Do You Offer References?

Absolutely and I encourage every puppy buyer whether they adopt their pup from me or another breeder to ask for references, especially from their vet.

What Methods Of Payment Do You Take?

I use Venmo for payment for my puppies and ask that you set your account up (it’s free) before time for the deposit. They charge no fees and it’s very simple and safe.

Do You Genetically Test Dogs In Your Breeding Program?

I DNA test ALL my breeding Corgis, to ensure your puppy is not at risk for DM, vWd and EIC.

Do You Require A Contract?

I do, to ensure no misunderstandings or confusion.

I Have Heard That The Coat Color In Corgis May Change As They Get Older. Is This Possible?

The color that the puppy is at birth will change somewhat. The Red and White Corgis are all born with a sable coloring that most often fades as they grow.

What If I Can No Longer Care For My Puppy?

I will always take your Corgi back, for any reason. I will re-home your puppy and any and all rehoming fees will go to the person surrendering the puppy after the new adopter is approved.

Are Your Puppies Vaccinated And Wormed Before They Leave?

Absolutely! I wouldn’t allow them to leave until I know they have immunity.

Are Your Puppies Microchipped?

No, but I give the owners information on how and where to get that done. It is up to the buyer to decide that. I do encourage it, however.

What Do You Feed Your Puppies?

My puppies are all fed either Royal Canin Puppy or Hill’s Science Diet Puppy.

Will My Puppy Be Potty Trained?

Probably not. Although I try to start them on puppy pads and encourage them to go while outside, they will not be completely housebroken when they leave.

Will My Puppy Be Crate Trained?

Yes, crate training is essential, since that is their sanctuary when they are tired or nervous about something. I leave the door to the crate open all day so that they have access to it, but keep them shut in during the night so they don’t get into trouble.

Do You Allow Visitors?

Not at this time. COVID has changed a lot of the “visiting” trends and you can ask for photos that I will be happy to send, but no in-person visits at this time.
