It's a hot day for the Corgis! Make sure you keep lots of water out, a pool is always fun, ice or frozen dog treats, and breaks in the AC. 🥰

# # **COPIED FROM A FRIEND.**

Pay particular attention to things like this.

Corgis are part of the herding group with AKC, it's what they were bred for.

So, when you see that cute little fluffy butt puppy and think it's going to be the cutest lapdog ever, realize it takes some work and discipline to get it thru the raptor years.... know the dog you are looking at and be prepared to train and deal with their instincts. Not all of those that are "cute" want to lay around all day or be a pocket pet. Breeders breeding smaller corgis to supply the demand for that type of compromise form to function and away from their natural stature of being a short, stout, thick dog that is able to withstand a kick or being rolled while moving livestock.

And I know my followers are smarter than the fall for the "merle" Pembroke. When the breed doesn't naturally produce that color as written in the standards, there's got to be a mix somewhere regardless of what DNA will say. That's common sense, science only takes you back a few generations in the end.

If you note the standards even mention bluies and fluffies though deemed faults in the show ring you can absolutely take one to sports side of AKC which you will see on occasion. But even those breeders that chose to breed those faults should be looking at the overall dog and not just the color or hair coat. While you may love a bluie, hold that breeder to the same standards in confirmation and testing as any other regardless.

There's no excuse for bad breeding in the end.

There are a lot of posts lately giving advice about how you should avoid a breeder if they’re asking for a deposit to hold a puppy. Calling breeders that do this, scammers. I just want to say that it is perfectly normal for reputable breeders to require a deposit to hold a puppy. Deposits are the buyers way of saying I for sure want this specific puppy & it also ensures that the breeder is going to hold said puppy for the buyer. There are a lot of window shoppers and people who are not serious who will claim a puppy and then never reply again. Some people do this even after paying a deposit 😳.

It is also normal for breeders to not allow anyone to go to their house to pick one out. Reputable breeders will gladly meet if the puppy is old enough, or offer facetime. That is for the safety of their dogs, puppies and families. There are bad people who pretend to be good people. I can name a good amount of popular breeders that have acquired parvo who also allow home visits as well. Once parvo is on your property it is very hard to be rid of and some strains affect vaccinated dogs as well. It’s just simply not worth it.

So how to spot a scammer:
1) If the price seems too good, it’s likely a scam.
2) Photos are of multiple puppies on differing backgrounds or differing ages.
3) They can’t offer references.
4) They decline FaceTime.
5) They don’t have photos of parents or photos of parents don’t make sense for the litter.
6) They give a cheap price for transport.
7) They’re very persistent regarding sending money.

How can you protect yourself from being scammed?
1) FaceTime! Ask to FaceTime in live time (not video!) to see that your puppy is real.
2) Ask for references. Even if a breeder is new they should have people willing to be a reference (family, friends, vet).
3) Get acquired with prices of puppies in your area (Gooddog.com is a good reference).
4) know that transport is generally costly as well (500+) so free transport/etc should be researched more.
5) If they give a kennel name or a photo has a kennel name SEARCH IT. Then message that page to make sure you’re speaking to the same person.
6) ASK QUESTIONS. There are no bad questions!
7) Ask for parents test results and ensure name and description (if there is one listed) match the dog. I give lots of advice about colors on my page.
8 ) Ask other breeders about the breeder you’re interested in.

It’s okay to want to visit a breeders home as well. There is a large amount who don’t allow it any longer, for good reasons, but if that’s a deal breaker for you just be kind and ask that breeder for a referral to a breeder who does. There are breeders who don’t live in remote areas, don’t have small children, have a separate building to allow for separation from their main areas, have kennels, etc… which allows for less risk altogether.

And remember a good breeder is willing and happy to assist with helping you feel comfortable with them. 😊
