Hi Mike,

 

My Bella came from Poso Creek 2 and a half years ago.  Since I was in Santa Clara CA, I never asked to see the puppy before I picked her up. Kim did provide me weekly updates and photos as we went along.   I think seeing the puppy would be nice if Kim will permit it.  If I remember correctly when I picked up Bella, she had a family there looking at a brand new litter of puppies.  Kim is a great breader and lives somewhat away from the city of Bakerfield in what I call the desert.  When I picked up Bella, they had me sanatize my shoes in the driveway (bleach and water solution).  This was to ensure I didn't bring anything in on the bottom of my shoes that would get the puppies sick. 

Kim and her family handle and play with the puppies several times a day to make sure they are friendly and well socialized.  I'm not sure where she keeps them in general but I had no concerns when I got Bella.  Kim ensures that each puppy is well cared for and is healthy.  When I picked up Bella there was a family looking at a new litter and got to hold one of the puppies for a few minutes. 

In any case, you can't go wrong with Kim.  She's a great lady and really cares about each puppy.  I've actually been in contact with her recently because I'm looking to get another puppy as well.  If you have any questions, you can email me directly at      Debbie.Algieri@sbcglobal.net

I concur with what Debbie said.  They treat the puppies really well and they have lots of room to play.  We had seen our puppy in pictures and thought she was the one we wanted but didn't have to commit to one until we interacted with them.  You could probably see the puppies ahead of time.  Enjoy your new puppy!  We love ours who is now 1 year old! Also, they are very careful not to overbreed them.

I too am making the drive in Feb to pick up a puppy... My second one... Unfortunately my first had a unfortunate congenital problem... Debbie is great with communication even after you get your puppy...

you'll love your puppy when you see it.. she breeds them so well and they are SO lovable! Once your pup is ready with his or her shots.... there are corgi meet ups in Escondido! If our puppies are from the same batch I'd love to keep in contact with you!

I agree with everyone here. Kim was great and very helpful to me from the day I emailed her. I picked out my puppy just by pictures and I couldn't have been happier. Kim sent me pictures during the 8 long weeks you have to wait until you get your puppy. The puppies are well socialized and Kim and her husband know exactly what they're doing. My corgi Tobee is a year and a half old and is the cutest thing ever :) I think you'll be very pleased with your choice!

Hi! Our first corgi was from Poso creek. We didn't meet her before we picked her up. However she is the best corgi-very smart and sweet. We are getting our male from Kim in a couple weeks.
When we picked up Yolie there was the sweetest corgi ambassador, Cutie, that met us at the car and walked with us to the door. I am confident you will get a great corgi!


Our new puppy's parents are Meaghan and Gilby.
Who are the parents of your puppy? What will you name her/him?

Sounds like Milo has new siblings!  His parents are Meaghan and Gilby!  He is the best dog we could have asked for, we love his personality.
