Looking for a Corgi
Hello everyone,
I recently lost my toy poodle, Curly in July. She was 14years old, but very spunky right up until the end. Her owner (a Pearl Harbor survivor!) died 5 years ago, and I took her in. Best dog I ever had, and I miss her dearly.
Im now ready for another dog and have always wanted a pembroke corgi. I had one growing up, so I know what Im in for. Can anyone recommend a reputable person to get one from? I would like a purebred, not a mix; female, tri colored or sable. I will NOT be breeding the dog, and "pet quality" is fine for me. I live in the Antelope Valley, which is in Southern California. I would like a puppy but am open to adopting a corgi, up to 4 years old. We have a lab, Bodie, and he misses his little friend.
Any advice on where to get a good corgi ( and equally who to avoid) would be appreciated.
Thanks! Susan.

There are regularly corgis in the pound in Lancaster. I know there was one there as recently as last week according to some family friends.
I got my Luna at a breeder located in Hesperia - not far from the Antelope Valley. I know they have tri-colored, red/whites, and occasionally sables. In fact, I hears that Luna's parents just had a litter recently. I can message you the breeder information if you'd like.

Hi, Susan..
If you would like, I have about 160 websites for corgi breeders-they're not all in your state but there is a few, and most that are far ship.
I know that Lazy J Ranch is going to have Christmas puppies! (The first link is to the main site, the second is directly to the page where it shows the parents of the up and coming puppies)
I've talked to this lady on the phone and it was an extremely pleasant experience. She was super nice. Here's her number: (662) 242-8787
Anyhow, there may also be an up and coming litter for a lady that lives here in Oregon.. She's in Rainier and I don't have her site because there isn't one.. But here's her information if you want to get a hold of her

I know that I am wanting to get a puppy from her as far as I can tell and there's someone else on here-at LEAST one other person, anyhow that I know of,-who has gotten a puppy from her, but she hasn't yet told me if she was a good breeder or not.
Good luck!

Yeah I would be careful with that first one. I don't see any health testing listed at all, and they don't seem to do anything with their dogs besides breed them. And like...5 litters in a year? Plus the aussie litters? Honestly I could overlook the fluff but that just kind of screams BYB.

Do not buy from lazy j ranch. Big mistake.mi got mine there. She's nice and seems like she knows a lot, but I was sold a purebred I now believe is a mix, I was 16 when I got the dog and now that iv become more involved with AKC events and such it has been brought to my attention and is painfully obvious when she stands next to another corgi. There's no way one woman can have 10+ litters a year and take care of them all in the way they need.

If you look at a web site and they are breeding a fluff ? I believe that is a definite no no and should be avoided. Just FYI.

Hi Susan, Welcome to MyCorgi. First, you have my condolences on the loss of Curly. It was good of you to take her in and it sounds like you were well rewarded with love.
I agree with Susan that the http://pwcca.org/memberlist.cfm site is the best place to start. The list of members in California includes some of the very best Corgi breeders in America. Some of them I've met or know personally and they are very devoted to the breed and take breeding very seriously, striving to produce on the best, healthiest Corgis. And if they don't have pups, they will be able to steer you in a good direction with another breeder. You might pay a little more for one of their pups but a top breeder is likely to become a friend and a ready, reliable source of expert advice as your Corgi grows and develops and that connection can be invaluable.

I'd like to add that you could also check the PWCCSC. They are your regional corgi club and have someone you can contact for breeder referrals. Also, you can ask breeders if they have any older dogs that they are looking to rehome. I know you would like a puppy, but you could always keep yourself open to getting, say, a 1-2 year old. Sometimes a breeder needs to rehome an older pup that didn't take well to the show ring, won't be used for breeding, etc.

Thank you all for the great information. I have lots of notes and phone numbers now. We are currently moving from one house to another, so when all that commotion has died down and I can give my full attention to a new puppy (or older) I will start shopping around. Probably near the 1st of the year. Thank you all so much, I will be hovering here, watching your posts.

That Lazy J is breeding a fluffy? According to the AKC you are not suppose to breed fluffies. I certainly have no problem with fluffies....Max is a gorgeous fluffy and personally I prefer them but for a breeder to have one in their breeding program....I don't get it.
And way too many litters. Where I got Max and Katie...the females are only bred twice in 4 years.
