I would say "no" to purebred due to his ears but how old is he????? They could still be down if he's really young. Tail could be just undocked and he would be a sable. How old is the Corgi you have now??? I wouldn't get another dog till yours is at least 18 months.

He's 8 weeks old from what the people said.
I have two corgis right now. One is 15 months and the other is 7 months. I'm not worried about adding another corgi into the family.

Ears are very often down in young pups --- Jack's were still down at 10 weeks--- and it can be hard to tell when they are still all round what they are. However honestly if I couldn't find out enough about a breeder to trust whether the dogs were purebred or not, I'd probably go elsewhere.

When I brought my first corgi home over a year ago his ears were in the floppy stage too but my females were standing up since she was 5 weeks old. I uploaded more pictures of him. I thought I did that in the beginning but clearly not haha.

The lady says he is but isn't selling with papers, which doesn't really matter to me. My current two have papers but I didn't buy them to show. I added them to my family to be companions.

I would ask about the tail....I didn't dock my pups tails on purpose but people knew that before ever seeing my pups. Did she say anything about them having tails? It doesn't cost that much for their AKC papers so I would question why they don't have. Maybe an oops with too close of relatives????? Just a thought.

I don't mind te tail at all. As for the papers she just says she doesn't have them. Which is a red flag to me. I don't think he's full corgi but I could be wrong. But she doesn't have pictures of the parents which is another red flag to me.

Unfortunately...I agree if she doesn't have pics....makes no sense....she could use her phone to take some. Where is she advertising???

Funny you should say that about the legs, that was my thought too. I wanted to see a pic of him standing so I could see his legs better. No pics of the parents and she can't show the papers would be a red flag to me too.

Yeah. I'm just going to keep looking. No need to be second guessing it. Lol.

I read through the discussion comments, processed the information in them rationally, agreeing that if one wants a pure bred corgi, then going down the route of a recommended breeder who provides full documentation (KC registration, vaccination record)is the only way to go. Also remembered advice to observe pup with parents........and in my own case, when I was sourcing Ms. Bella Beautiful, the lifetime return policy of the breeder clinched the deal.Also that really good corgi breeders won't offer their pups until 12 weeks because they do better to stay with their mother for slightly longer......logical brain giving good solid advice.
And then I opened the pictures: I was hooked on the first one: those limpid eyes and the floppy ears : all my good sensible advice & knowledge positively evacuated. If I was in the market for another Corgi pup (and divorce lawyers of the world can wait awhile longer because I am not in the market for another pup : legal spouse says two boys, two cats & two corgis is quite enough livestock in our home) I'd be snared, hook, line & sinker. My "another sucker born everyday" beacon started flashing! I did think the whites of the eyes was a very corgi expression , and the floppy ears are probably just related to the young age of the pup.
When I purchased Dougal, the fluffy who may or may not be a fluffy,I didn't even know the term cryptorchid or how to go about checking, or even that I needed to go checking, though I subsequently paid the vet bills for a more complicated neuter! We got him very young (in hindsight too young) but I do remember his ears popping up, first one and then a few days later, the second one.
As you already own two corgis, you know what you are getting into and only you can decide whether the purity of the breedlines is a clincher for you. For me, the ambiguity would concern me only for health reasons.
Happy hunting!
