This is not specific to the Corgi breed; however, I have to vent my frustration in regards to my latest experience with backyard breeders on here. 

I'm work at an apartment complex, and one of our maintenance employee's Bichon Frise just had ANOTHER litter of puppies. Mind you, she is 8 years old and this is her third litter. (She had two litters this past year alone.) The puppies are, of course, adorable and look like fat little teddy bears. Regardless of their adorable appearance, I'm totally disgusted with the fact that the owners have put the mother through wayyyyy too many pregnancies, especially for her age. In addition to that, the puppies are not purebred, they're mixed with miniature poodle. Despite the fact that the dogs are technically mutts, the maintenance employee was asking $350-400 per dog. Not only is their asking price ridiculously high, but the puppies haven't been de-wormed or given their first vaccination. They've sold one of the three pups to someone already, and he just sold one to a tenant for $350. When he handed over the pup, he did not mention the fact that he needed to be dewormed and fully vaccinated immediately. He also did not tell the purchaser that the puppy cannot go outside until it receives all of its shots. It wasn't until I saw the tenant leave the building with the dog in hand, ready to take it for a walk when I had to flag her down and let her know that the puppy shouldn't be outside until he's had his shots because he could contract parvo or distemper. She then replied, "Oh, I've had a couple dogs that have gotten that. One died, one survived. Where's the cheapest place to get puppy shots?" At that point, I didn't know whether or not to cry or slap my forehead in total disbelief. I gave her the address and phone number to the SPCA, and encouraged her to socialize him in safe, indoor environments or carry him when outside until his vaccinations were complete. 

Multiple things deeply disturbed me about this scenario, but I think the worst part was the maintenance guy's reaction when I told him I had to stop the tenant from taking the puppy outside. His reaction? "Well, I don't want them to spend all their money on puppy shots before they pay the dog off. Besides, he's out of my hands now." Since this person is technically my colleague, it took everything I had to stay professional and not scream at him for his disgustingly selfish ignorance. I just said, "Well you don't want the puppy to die before they pay it off either!"

 I want to make sure that the puppy survives its new home. I really want this puppy to be safe and happy, but I doubt that the tenant who purchased him is up to speed or aware of the expenses and care required for a dog. I feel like I've assisted as much as an outsider can in a situation like this, but I really want to prevent this BYB from breeding his dog in the future again. Has anyone here ever encountered a backyard breeder with no scruples before? Did you call them out on it? Give them advice?
