I was just watching the corgi the whole time and his different faces lol
This information is extremely helpful. Thank you so much!
Also know that Pembrokes do NOT come in merle. Those are mixed. If a breeder says they are purebred, they are not!
THIS!
What's merle?
I've been a Corgi owner since 1981 (we're on our 3rd gen) and a dog trainer since 1998 -- thanks for posting this video packed with great advice to help people find great breeders!
I got Daisy in Dallas Texas and I would buy again from her. She was listed on AKC website plus she gave me the health test like blood, DM test and hip test!! I think that’s why I paid $1200! It’s so worth it because I’ve haven’t had one problem with her!!
Can I get the information of your breeder?
I just got one in Dallas too. They gave me all record shot and AKC paper. I paid $1000 for my corgi
Can i get the info of the breeder?
Where in Dallas? Can you comment more information? Looking for one now
I’m in Dallas and looking for a corgi puppy, would you mind sharing the name of the breeder you adopted from?
This is so useful!!! Thanks for sharing!!
As a Pembroke owner, I disagree with some of this. An AKC dog gets registered only if the parents are both AKC and they have to have certain requirements. The owners also have to be known. Also, having champion bloodlines are a great thing! That means the breeder takes the time to make sure their dogs are well groomed, up do breed standard, trained, and take care of their dogs! Mine is not a champ. Bloodline, but he does agility and herding, both AKC sports. It’s a bit hypocritical to say that doing sports with your dog is good, but if a breeder does them with their pet, it makes them bad.
Thanks for sharing you experience !! Help a lot👍👍
Thanks for watching!
I am curious about the Michigan breeder that you were referring to. We are in the Detroit area and are looking for another Corgi. We recently lost our 16yo Ein to what we believe to be a brain tumor that caused numerous seizures. We got Ein as an 11yo rescue shortly after losing our first one, Caedi, to cancer. We didn’t think that getting another dog right away was what we wanted, but Ein rescued us! That is why we are looking for another Corgi to love!
If my corgi was diagnosed with hip dysplasia that young, I would put that breeder's name on BLAST and I might even go so far as to have genetic testing done on my pup just so that breeder can't blame-shift.
(and I would love the pup just the same and get the best medical treatment for him'her, just like you did)
I bought my two Pembroke sisters from an ad in the newspaper. The girls were about 3 months old and were living in the breeders home. They were both completely house trained and had all their shots. The breeder supplied the AKC paperwork listing the mother and father. Both girls were active. They had a fenced 1/2 acre yard to run around in. They had plenty of Squirrels and Chipmunks to chase. They were also very lovable wanting to sit in your lap in the evenings. When they were little I had them in my lap one day and they'd fallen asleep. So did I. When I awoke they were both on the floor. They'd found a loose thread in the carpet and had unraveled a 1.5 inch hole in the carpet. The hole is still there. I didn't get upset because it was the kind of thing unsupervised puppies do. The girls didn't interact very much and played separately. Neither of the dogs would use their beds but preferred to sleep on the tile floor. Lizzie slept in bathrooms no matter whether home or away. Maggie slept at the front door. They'd go upstairs with us when we went to bed but then came back downstairs. They've always gone in and out through a pet door which gets locked at night. All of our pets have been spayed or neutered. They don't miss anything by not having offspring.
We had an excellent experience with the girls. They definitely had two different personalities. Lizzie was the older sister. She was the noisier one and loved to play. I could wrestle with and she'd play with the ball or Frisbee for hours. When she walked it was with purpose. Nose front and no stopping. No pulling but all business. We lost her at age 12 to rectal cancer.
Her sister Maggie was a little smaller and weighed a third less. When she walked it was to explore. She was much quieter and didn't play as much. At 13 and 1/2 she started going blind. Within 6 months one eye was completely blind and the other has limited vision. She gets along fine. She still does her back yard perimeter inspections a couple of times a day. She goes to a pet optometrist every 6 months.
What prompted me to have Corgis? One of my customers had a Corgi/German Shepherd mix. she showed up at the farm one day and stayed. Whenever I went there she would bring me her ball to play with her. She never tired of the game. Her name was Little Dog.
When Jim passed away his son called and asked me if I wanted her. I immediately said yes. She still liked to play but slowed down as she aged. Two tosses were enough and instead of bringing the ball back she'd take it to the porch and lie down. We had her for 7 years. She was about 12-13 years old when she passed from cancer.
When Maggie passes we wouldn't mind adopting older dogs. We're in our low 70s and don't want to leave a dog behind. We've always had cats in addition to the dogs. I was always finding strays and I'd try to give them away but some of them stayed. In the last 51 years we've had almost 20 of them. We had as many as four at a time. They stayed in the back yard and would come in at dusk to eat and we'd ;ock them in for the night. They all lived to almost 20 and one was 21 years old when he went. After Buster went we decided not to have more cats. They need more care than people think
Very informative !!
Thank you I was looking into getting a corgi❤️
Hope this is helpful!
Yes im getting a corgi in a year
I want to get a corgi so this is so helpful😊
When my corgi had his first seizure my breeder all stated that this is the first that she ever heard of. Epilepsy is hereditary
Good god, you don’t know how much I appreciate this video. I’ve been looking and know about the hips and whatnot but I learned so much about finding and what to look for.
Thank youu🤘🏼💕
Of course! Good luck with your hunt!
I grew up in Michigan and now live in Cali too! :)
i got my girl on craigslist!
So sorry to hear of Chibis health problems.My 7 year old Barney is healthy,but is very reactive to bright lights and high sounds.Didnt notice thic till he was nine months old.But hes a great dog.Some things you just cant know everything.
We love to get a Corgi puppy at 10 weeks old but did I hear that we can’t conduct all heath test until 1-2 year old? If so, what are the most health test a good breeder can do on 10-week old Corgi. This is a super helpful vid. Thanks.
Corgi world domination! But truly, if there is love for corgis in your heart, buy only from verified and buyer-reviewed, trustworthy breeders. Also practice good breeding - alas, my cardigan lad turned to have poor hips, and it was hard to give up on dreams of having him sire puppies, but I couldn't bear the thought of bringing to this world a litter that could possibly have pups that could never even walk.
Chibi is so cute!
Just something super random:
Actor Thomas Gibson (From South Carolina) has twice played
A patrician
San Franciscan
with a CORGI!
(Tales of the City and Dharma & Greg)
Our first Corgi, Fiona McPhee, had to be put to sleep at the age of four years and eight months because she was born with abnormal kidneys that eventually failed and spilled poison in her blood. It was heart breaking, and we went to a reputable breeder for our second Corgi, Molly. Do your research....losing a Corgi is devastating! Our vet said that most likely, Fiona was a product of bad breeding.
When did you find out she had abnormal kidneys? Was it when she was still a young puppy?
Who was your Breeder
I was so happy to pay and extra 300 from a reputable breeder that does health, and temperament test. It’s worth 300 more than thousands!
Omg thankyou
Does anyone have a good recommendation for NSW Australia please?
Oh wow, didn’t know vet bills can cost that much. Do you recommend getting pet insurance and does insurance usually cover most of the cost? Looking to getting a corgis soon and vet bills scare me.
Yes, 1000% recommend getting pet insurance, especially with a Corgi! Insurance policies vary but typically cover around 80% of the bill. Take a look at Figo, Pet Plan, and Healthy Paws!
emwng thank you!
Awww....😍😍😍that puppy really cute😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Corgi puppy's are so cute
I’m wanting to get a Corgi, cause I like small dogs, but we already have a Doberman and we want him to have a friend, and since Corgi aren’t super small, and very tough we’ve decided on getting a Corgi. Sadly Corgis aren’t very popular here in Australia, so it’s gonna be a bit difficult, but wish me luck!
Hope you get a good one !
There are breeders of corgi’s there. I suggest you go to a dog show and search out a quality breeder there
I watched your video about hip dysplasia and got in touch with a breeder that said hip dysplasia is something they can not detect through a test.
Does the breeder test the parents through OFA or PennHip? They can get results on the parents' hips so you can predict what condition the puppy's hips will be in. The parents will be graded Excellent, Good, Fair (all within Normal limits), Borderline, and then Mild, Moderate, or Severe (the last three considered Dysplastic). If your breeder does not test with OFA or PennHip I would avoid them.
I am replying to people who have asked me about my earlier Corgi, Fiona McPhee. Fiona was diagnosed with renal failure at four years, eight months. She was alive only one more week after diagnosis before we had to have her euthanized. She went downhill fast in spite of very aggressive treatment. the doctor expressed the opinion that her breeding was likely faulty, we got her from an Amish farmer. After that experience, I did A LOT of research. Our second Corgi, Molly, came from Hunter Vale Farms in Berkshire, New York, Casey Powell breeder. Molly is much healthier. We pray that NO ONE goes thru what we went through with our first Corgi Fiona. Do your research. There are a lot of backyard breeders out there who just want the money!!
The Amish breeders have the worst reputation.
I am in the the southeast of the USA if there is a reputable breeder please send link.
Where did you get Chibi from? I'm in Michigan and am waiting for a corgi puppy from a breeder, and I believe I've done as much research as I could, but if you're willing to share I just want to know if it's from the same breeder I'm currently going through D:
Yes we had a corgi that had 2 complete hips redone before 1.5 yrs ... and a non functioning pancreas .. long story short we probably spent 60k on her she lived until she was 16 she was my luv but if you do not have $$$ please check out exactly what she is telling you to do !!
I wish people would put these breeders names out there to warn others. These are *exactly* the type of breeders who often don't properly feed and care for the dogs they breed, and some of them will even continue breeding a dog that carries these genetic disorders or even breed a female well past when she should be having a litter.
These people who exploit animals infuriate me!
Can you name places or websites to get them In Louisiana when I'm able to move out I would love to adopt or buy a dog I've had experience with a 2 abandoned Bloodhounds a rustelrevun a German shepherd and now a pugshizu I read on puppyfind and I don't know if I should believe it also the pug is my brother's the names I thought of are Yamper plumb and I forgot the last one
I've been wanting a Corgi way before they became so popular on the internet, and I'm finally getting one next year around April/May (also had to submit a deposit to be put on the waitlist). I did some research here and there trying to find reputable breeders, and I believe I did find one (the lady and I had a long conversation on the entire process of getting one of their corgis, and I asked several questions, and a whole bunch of other stuff, and I do believe she is a reputable breeder), but I guess my question is, can a breeder still be "reputable" and trustworthy even if they aren't on those lists of reputable breeders, like the PWCCA ?
Thanks for watching! I would recommend going with a breeder that is a member of the PWCCA. This means they meet certain requirements set by the club and meet the standards for both experience and desire to protect and advance the interests of the breed. They are also required to adhere to the club's code of ethics which provide guidelines for responsible ownership and ethical breeding practices.
Same!
Are you getting one still???
My corgi just passed a few days ago. He was only 5 years old. He had idiopathic seizures and ultimately died from neurological complications. I’m almost positive he had a brain tumor and had a stroke at the end.
Question: something she mentions in the video is that breeders should test each puppy for diseases/ orthopedic issues and not just the parents- is this realistic? Are their breeders that x ray each puppy?
I’d also like to know this, please let me know if you know.
Anyone knows any reputable breeders that ship to Singapore?
As a long time corgi person the new trend towards people wanting them is very disturbing. My mother showed a different breed when I was growing up, so I knew how to find a responsible breeder. 11 years ago I purchased my current oldest bitch for $600. When I went looking for a puppy last year I was shocked. Not only by the price but how many breeders there are and how few of them are taking the right steps to increase the chances of a healthy and happy litter. The bred will be ruined for fashion. It makes me so sad.
$2,800 for our dog. She was expensive but worth it .
How to subscribe to your web site
I’ve been interested in getting a corgi pup especially a blue Merle corgi for around 4 years now but I never settled on one because I don’t want to be scammed or end up with one that has a lot of health issues. This was very helpful but I was wondering if you knew a club that had reliable breeders for blue Merle corgis
I am looking for a another fur babe boy soon .can you halp?? ?thanks
Kayla Johnson Merle Corgis are only available in Cardigan Welsh Corgis, the bigger corgi with the tail. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are not available in Merle, unless they have been mixed with another dog that carries the Merle gene. I’m sure you’ve seen Merle pembroke corgis on social media or online but most of these dogs are no longer purebred. They might look like corgis but they have been outcrossed to obtain that gene. Backyard breeders tend to promote Merle corgis as “cowboy corgis” or “rare” corgis. Please don’t fall for this as they are scamming you and will ask for crazy amounts of money. If you’re married to the idea of a Merle corgi, please consider a cardigan welsh corgi. Visit the Cardigan Welsh Corgi club of America to find reputable breeder for a Merle corgi cardigancorgis.com/cwcca/
@@downbeatamusicenrichmentcl5394 You rock! Thank you for this response. I just went to the website and filled out a dog request form. Very helpful information.
is there any way to look for corgi mixes? I’m looking to combine the personality that corgis are known for with the chilled out temperament and appearance of something like a newfie. I know those mixes EXIST, and they’re adorable, but I can’t find any!
Quality breeders will not mix them.
Any good, ethical breeder, would never mix them.
Please, if a breeder is selling some, DONT buy it.
why is this video cut up so much?
You may want to get your dog tested for the DM gene- it is a huge problem with corgis and causes them to be immobile and need a cart with wheels it is literally the ALS ( Lou Gherrigs ) disease for dogs - it is serious and heartbreaking and no cure so ALWAYS - ask the breeder to see certification of testing - Lymphoma is also becoming an issue in the corgi breed
i have the 2 super cute corgies
can they test early on for hip issues - oh I see 1.5-2 years old....
You need to look for a breeder who does the test on the Mom and dad, not the puppy. The results will tell you how likely your puppy is to have issues later on.
I want corgi
Hmm, but what if you’re adopting from a shelter?? Now I’m nervous!
We adopted from the Southern California Welsh Corgi Club. We got our amazing Abby when she was just a year old and now she’s 11.
Abby happens to have come from a registered breeder. She is not show quality due to a minor fleck of white on the back of her left ear so she couldn’t be sold for show. The people who bought her also had her older sister. But they were crazy people and ended up not being able to handle two female corgis. As a note, the female is the alpha dog in corgi groups so having two females is not always the best idea. They can fight for dominance. Some Abby was the newer dog they assumed she was aggressive and they beat her and left her locked in a small cage every day. They would only let her out to eat and to clean the cage. At one of these intervals their older corgi came into the room and Abby growled. The teenaged son kicked him and she bit him on the ankle. Because she had been purchased from a breeder they were not allowed to just give her away or turn her over to a shelter so they gave her to the breed club rescue. She was terrified of all people, especially young boys, and she wouldn’t let herself be touched. The rescue foster couple was afraid she could never be socialized and they were going to have her put down.
To get a corgi from the breed club rescue is literally an adoption process. You fill out an application and write a letter detailing your experience with dogs, your family information, your amount of travel, your level of experience with dogs and your reason for wanting a corgi. Out of over 600 letters and applications per year, they will only have maybe 20 to 25 corgis to be adopted. If your application and letter puts you in consideration for a dog you then have a phone interview, an extremely detailed home inspection and your meet and greet with your potential dog which amounts to a final interview.
For us and for Abby the timing was perfect. My husband and I both had years of experience with all types of dogs. Our daughter was old enough to be able to manage training and behavioral techniques. And we had a very clear understanding of the breed and what the potential drawbacks were, as well as specific reasons for wanting a corgi beyond the fact that they’re adorable.
We were Abby’s only chance for a rescue. If we couldn’t make any positive connection with her she would have been put down. And after weeks of working with her and having other breed club foster parents come to work with her, they were actually very discouraging with us. They didn’t want my daughter to get her hopes too high.
We drove hours to their home. We had a long discussion about abby’s previous family, the environment and the foster family struggles to socialize her before we were even allowed to see her.
My daughter (12 years old at the time) sat down on the ground and Abby climes into her lap and the deal was sealed. She had never voluntarily approached any human or dog so they were flabbergasted.
We did have a lot of emotional repair work to do. She was terrified of people which made her barky, especially at adolescent and teenaged boys. She was aggressive and barky around other dogs. We just had to work with her slowly and calmly to accept others. But in our home and with us, she was out of her crate on her own the second night and on my daughter’s bed and she never went into another crate again. Now she can visit with her many dog “cousins”, my family comes to visit with their multiple children and Abby loves the extra attention, she travels well I her safety harness in the back seat of the car. And she is a joy to us in every way. She doesn’t have the typical “hi, I’m Abby. Will you be my friend?” corgi personality. She won’t approach people, but she lets people pet her. Children think she’s almost a stuffed animal and want to hug her so we help them through how to approach her. But we have had several children run up to her. She’s been very patient and good. If she’s not in the mood to be petted, she’ll walk behind our legs.
Adopting can be done. It’s a process and it may take you a while to get a dog. Chances are they will be older or have some behavioral issues. If you have the patience and the right environment they can be the best dog. I can’t imagine the last ten years without Abby, she’s such a goofy, funny, love bug clown of a dog.
Good luck with whatever path you choose.
Ilove corgi babe
I got my corgi from an amish farm in ohio, and they wouldn’t let us meet the mom and we met her in a shed on their farm. She hasn’t have any health problems and was akc with vaccines and everything. I’ve heard some sketchy things about amish so I was wondering if it’s ok? Also what breeder did you get your dog from because I’m from Michigan also and would like to keep that in mind for the future
I’m in Michigan too and is also trying to find a corgi
Unfortunately, a lot of the Amish farms that breed dogs are actually puppy mills. :/ A red flag is that they don't let you meet the parent(s) if they are on-site or see the living conditions! Often times, these mom dogs are bred over & over and often begin young so their poor bodies don't get a break - they are basically a puppy-producing machine to them. Reputable breeders often do not breed the dogs until they are at least 2 years old to give them a chance to fully develop into adults and often times will not breed a female for consecutive heats, meaning usually only once a year (unless vet approved).
Although she may not have any health problems, she may be lucky or it could just be undetected still. A reputable breeder will pay the $$ to get the parents tested BEFORE breeding them and will not hesitate to stop breeding a dog if they show any signs of health issues. Vaccines are usually a bare minimum given with any breeder. Health testing is probably the #1 factor to look for so for corgis that is: DM, vWD, hips and eyes. It's absolutely heart-breaking to see a pup suffer needlessly or lose your best friend early so it's important to buy only from reputable breeders! :)
Sounds like u bought from a puppy mill. More Amish puppy mills than any other. U got lucky.
12:04 Mom... are you done talking yet? Mom....?
Can anyone help me find a good breeder did a corgi puppy! I might be getting one this spring and I wanna find a right breeder with the right color corgie I want!! Some one reach out!!
Akc.org go to find a puppy page, put in Pembroke Welsh Corgi
The "right" color? I feel sorry for any dog you adopt.
@Jiggly Jxllo I didn't interpret the comment as "rude", so we agree on that.
The issue is wanting a dog because of it being "the right color"....as if there is such a thing as a dog that is the "wrong color". Its one of the most shallow, narcissistic, thoughtless comments I've ever seen, and no dog deserves to be condemned to a family like that. It's a shallow, petty, narcissistic criteria for picking a pet of any kind, in my opinion.
What people should be asking themselves is, "Can I provide a safe, nurturing, loving home for a dog and what lifestyle do I have that would be a good match for the kind of dog I'm considering".
People should be asking themselves if they can be a responsible, loving, safe caregiver....and if they have the time, money, and love to provide a healthy home environment where the dog will feel safe, love, healthy, and content.
She is focused on the "color" of the dog, which is f'ing ridiculous and vapid.
@Jiggly Jxllo No worries. I could have taken more time initially to explain in greater depth what I meant in my first comment, as I did in my response to yours.
@@le_th_ Why can't you have both? It is not black or white here. Taking a person so literal when I think they are just trying to get there point across quickly and not thoughtfully can be considered very judgmental.
If anyone has a place where you can get a corgi then comment it
It’s unfortunate that I just got scammed !!
I paid and they lied about shipping my puppy and my intuition told me it was a scam.
@@valvonschweets5382 post up the breeders name & city state so others can avoid what happened to you. If you can get a full name perhaps you can do a background check. Perhaps others have filled a complaint w the local BBB and the AKC, and other corgi websites .
I DROPPED MY CORGI ON THE FLOOR ONCE
🚨Animal abuse 🚨
It was carpet
Don’t be proud of that- it’s not even funny.
Doesn’t matter if it was carpet either.
Corgis rescues hardly ever have dogs.
...and when they do, there is a L O N G list of people waiting to give them a loving home.
What?
Right, I found the foster parents adopt them !! Having said that, my interview for a corgi husky mix is in a few days....
Red Flag -- goofy pictures of the puppies dressed up ....

But dogs are better, it’s usually worth it.
This is an ad.
Your breeder was not ethical as he docked your corgi’s tail.
My corgi was born without a tail. They can be docked at a certain age but some are born without. The whole litter didn’t have any. It’s only a stub
One could also argue that is unethical to not dock the tail sometimes. Especially cause these are herding dogs. Tails break or get infected when being bit, being stepped on, any possible interaction of running into coyotes, or being around farming machinery.
I've seen a tail skinned to the bone and let me be the first to say, no animal should have to feel that. It gave him PTSD for years. While I don't think it's necessary for family pets, I do consider it more on a necessary side for being around a farm/rural area.
Actually, since they were bred to be herding dogs it’s more safer to dock.
Especially cause Pembroke Welsh Corgis have really fragile tails.
Plus, they can be born without tails.
The reason most are, is because at like 3 days old breeders don’t know what the dogs gonna be,
If it’s gonna be a herding dog, sport dog, family dog, etc.
Please educate yourself on why certain breeds are docked.
