Kennel Policies

Here are a few of the policies which we have developed through time and experience ...

  • We do not accept deposits or reservations.   It is tremendously important to match  the personality and needs of each puppy to the personalities and lifestyles of the future owners.  Before puppies reach a certain age, we just don't know whether the "right" puppy for a particular family is in a litter.   It is not fair to puppy or buyer to commit when puppies are too young to know what each will be like, or to choose by factors like color, markings, or gender.  
     

  • That said, we often have a waiting list.  Think of it as time to get to know each other better.   We will keep in touch and let you know when we think we have the perfect puppy or adult Corgi for your situation.
     

  • For safety, we do not ship our puppies.  We require a face to face meeting with prospective Corgi owners, plus references.  When possible, a home visit helps us visualize where the puppy will live, and helps us troubleshoot problems before they arise. 
     

  • We require a written agreement to protect the Corgi's future health, safety, and welfare.  Except for the rare instance in which we sell a puppy as a show prospect (and this is usually only to someone with a proven track record in show or performance) we sell all puppies on limited registrations with a spay/neuter agreement. 
     

  • Generally speaking, we require a fenced yard and prefer not to sell baby puppies into a home where all adults work full time.  However, we have seen situations in which very motivated owners make it work, and we are always willing to talk over your special circumstances and help you work out a plan!
