Hi all, I am looking for a corgi and this site has been really helpful w/ tips on raising one. I was wondering if you can recommend any breeders in the Arlington, VA or Philly (West Chester, etc) area?
My breeder is in Waldorf, MD which I dont think is too far from you. Chloe, my pup, is very sweet and kind.. You should give her a call. Send me a private message if you would like more info.
Thanks for your warm welcome and great leads! I'm very excited about my first puppy and have sent a bunch of emails to breeders. So far, the puppies available are a little more than what I'd like to pay ($1200). What is a typical price for a corgi puppy? There was a breeder who said I could take a pup home after 7 weeks, but that seems like a red flag...
In reference to taking the puppy at 7 weeks, go to my page and check out the discussion "Should I bring puppy home at 6 weeks or wait?" I had tons of responses and your question will be answered...wait :) I also paid $600 for Bella, so if they're charging $1200 they must have champion bloodlines. If you're not going to show her I probably wouldn't pay that much.
$1200 is a bit costly if you are looking for pet quality and intend to spay/neuter. If you agree to limited regislatration you should be able to get a puppy for much less. I know things are always more expensive back east, but in Nebraska you can get a nice pet quality puppy from a reputable breeder for $300-$600. Show quality is a different story, I don't think those prices vary too much no matter where you are.
Hi, our breeder is in Landenburg,PA, about 45-hr outside of Philly. She raises beautiful pups, and she has people start picking her puppies up at 8 weeks, no sooner. We paid about $900 for our Kiwi. If you'd like to know her name and web address just post on my wall and I'd be happy to share the info with you.
