The adoption cost of our puppies is $3000+ txt

The price of our puppies is non-negotiable. We do not make any profit on our litters, every dollar is reinvested in our breeding program and the puppies themselves. Our price is set as fair as possible to raise Pembroke Welsh Corgis of this quality without cutting a corner or saving any expenses. Costs are subject to change in the future, but I will always honor the purchase price at the time of transfer of the reservation fee.

*Please note that transportation costs are not included. If you are not from the area and prefer the puppy to be shipped to the airport of your choice. The type and cost of shipping can be quoted separately.

Excellent question! As breeders, we owe it not only to our adopters, but also to the dogs we breed, the puppies we produce, and the breed, to do our due diligence to make sure we produce healthy puppies. It is important to remember that testing does not mean that we can prevent all diseases; however, we are putting the odds in our favor. If a breeder breeds a dog without genetic testing, for example, and that dog is at risk for DM and is bred to another dog without genetic testing that is also at risk for DM, he has produced puppies with a serious genetic disease when it could have simply been prevented. There is no excuse for not testing.

All our dogs are tested/checked for the following

• OFA Hips with passing score

• OFA NORMAL certified eyes

• Full Embark panel that tests for over 160 diseases such as Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) and Von Willerbrand Disease (VWD)

• OFA NORMAL certified heart

The most important trait of a dog is its temperament. Our Pembroke Welsh Corgis have a healthy temperament and conform to their breed standard, to ensure that their puppies will have an exceptional temperament themselves.

Our dogs are the definition of a "happy little clown". They have friendly, goofy, playful personalities that love life and their families. Those considering adopting a Pembroke Welsh Corgi should have a good sense of humor, as these mischievous dogs need owners who can laugh at their antics.

Excellent with children and other animals (if properly socialized), they are a joy to have around. They are not like their farm/work line cousins, they have a well balanced energy level, are not very vocal and can be trained to be calm family members.

Our puppies are born and raised in our home and are intensively socialized before they leave. We practice ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (Early Scent Introduction) exercises in the early stages of their development. I have chosen to closely follow Puppy Culture and Avidog which are programs for breeders that give us the tools and protocols to safely socialize our puppies to new sights, sounds and smells, while giving us workbooks to document each puppy's progress and move them along at an individual pace.

As soon as they are old enough, the puppies begin to go on off-leash walks with us and their mother outside to imprint the tracking response in the puppies to facilitate recall and leash walking, we devote extra time and effort to this crucial time in their lives.

There is a crucial time in a puppy's life when socialization is extremely important. Unfortunately, it is between 8 and 16 weeks of age, which is when the puppies are ready to go to their new home. That's why at Cadwyn Corgis, we take care of the first two visits to the vet to make sure our puppies have a good experience and our puppies leave a little later for their new home between 12 and 16 weeks depending on their development.

It is the owner's responsibility to continue to help his puppy once he is home. The more things you introduce to your puppy at a young age, the more he will tolerate and get used to these situations as an adult! I cannot stress enough the importance of socialization and the importance of letting your puppy have as many pleasant interactions with all kinds of people and animals as possible while he is young. A well socialized puppy becomes a well adjusted adult. We are always willing to work with the families of our puppies to discuss ideas and plans to help them socialize their puppy safely.

We have a small waiting list. If you are interested in one of our puppies, we have a questionnaire to fill out.

The waiting time is currently 6 to 12 months depending on your preferences.

Once your adoption application is approved and we have received your reservation fee*, you will receive the link to our private family group on Facebook to follow the day to day life of our kennel. The selection process of the puppies begins between 9 and 12 weeks after their evaluations. It is important to keep in mind that our main reason for breeding puppies is to improve the breed and our program, which means that each puppy must be evaluated as a show/breeding candidate before being offered as a family companion. *Please note that it is at our discretion to cancel your application at any time if we feel you have not been honest with us and/or cannot properly raise or care for one of our puppies. The reservation fee gives you access to our private informational platforms and guarantees your place on our waiting list, not a puppy.

The Pembroke is a shepherd dog, some puppies have stronger instincts than others and in my opinion, it is very important to evaluate their temperament between 5 and 8 weeks in order to match each puppy according to their needs and personality. Some puppies will need a lot more training, more space and daily stimulation compared to others who will be much less demanding / (couch potato type).

We do not place puppies on a first come, first served basis. Our job as reputable breeders is to place puppies in the ideal home with the ideal family, and we take that very seriously. Our responsibility is first to the breed, which is why our first priority in placing puppies is the owners who are interested in showing them, because they are the ones who will (hopefully) use this dog to keep the breed going. It's not that we like them more than we like you; it's that we have to be much more selective in our choice so that they can make breeding decisions with the best genetic material we can provide. Our second responsibility is to the PUPPY. We place each puppy where we feel they have the best chance of success and the optimal environment to thrive.

Our puppies are carefully monitored and documented during their time with us and will be evaluated by unbiased and respected breeder friends and/or trainers during the selection process. I know my puppies from birth and I know them better than anyone else.

We want our families to be excited about their puppy and I am always comfortable explaining why a certain puppy was chosen. Please understand that the process is done this way because we want our puppies to fit in well with their homes and to last forever.

We truly believe that matches are best made based on temperamental traits rather than physical traits that you may see in a photo or video. It's easy to fall in love with a puppy with a unique character, but that doesn't mean it's the best personality choice for you. Puppies need time to mature and grow and I will let you know which puppy is yours between 8 and 12 weeks of age, but probably never before that time.

As long as the puppies are not in a risk period, I am happy to welcome approved visitors to my home for puppy visits. This can be arranged by contacting me and expressing your interest in advance so that I can schedule visits accordingly.

If you are interested in visiting my adult dogs and I do not have young puppies in the house, simply contact me directly and I will be happy to welcome you to our home to meet the Cadwyn team!

For the first two weeks of their lives, the puppies are raised in our master bedroom in comfort. We often spend sleepless nights in the whelping box with the mother making sure the puppies are drinking well and doing great.

When the puppies are 3 weeks and older, they move to a room next to my living room and kitchen where they can enjoy the hustle and bustle of my home and become familiar with the comings and goings of people, the daily noises of the house (vacuum cleaner, TV, laundry, etc.) but are still kept safely in a playpen. My house is very interactive and the puppies get lots of visual stimulation as well as a nice space to run, play and explore.

Yes, from one province to another in Canada and to the United States.

For domestic shipments (Canada), I suggest two options. The first is to ship the puppy by freight via the airline with the fewest stops. The cost of this option varies between $350 and $550 and can be calculated more accurately as the flight date approaches.

The second option is to have the puppy travel by land using the services of excellent transportation companies. The cost of this option varies greatly, but it allows the puppy to be hand-delivered and kept warm with minimal stress.

For shipping to the USA, please contact us!

All of our couplings are produced in a deliberate manner. This means that we invest a lot of time and research into every potential mating we consider. We look at all aspects of the sire and dam and what they bring to the breed. First, we look at our potential dam and examine her structure. Then we dig into her pedigree, take all her health test results, temperament, coat type and genetics, and then start looking for a male that complements her in all aspects.For example, if the potential dam has a straighter rear end, we want a boy with a well angled rear end. We look for boys with excellent temperament, health testing, correct breed type and structure, and a boy who compliments my daughters. We strive not to breed dogs that would detract from my girls' attributes. We also put a lot of research and consideration into genetic diversity. Overall, we focus on breeding healthy, temperamentally stable puppies for the next generation.

Ideally, a secure fenced yard would be ideal, but I realize (especially for those who live in large cities) that this is not always easy. I will consider homes that do not have fences and/or apartments/condos, but it will take some discussion of the plans in place to ensure that the puppy is exercised and will have the opportunity to be walked/leashed outside.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are not lap dogs. They were not bred to sleep on your lap all day without stimulation and be content like Chihuahuas, Pekinois and other small breeds. If that's what you're looking for in a dog, you won't be satisfied with a Corgi who is a more active dog, ready to go on an adventure.

Our adoption clauses specify that spaying and neutering must be done between 18 and 24 months of age.

In fact, research now shows that early sterilization is harmful. Imagine having your hormones removed at the age of 6!

Many veterinarians are pushing/forcing early spaying. We can understand them! After seeing so many poorly behaved dogs and irresponsible owners raising litters without any education, they are frustrated and afraid that everyone will breed their dog... so they push spay/neuter to prevent this! I feel their pain. But I like to think that the owners we choose for our puppies are responsible owners who will always do what's best for their dog and will also respect our adoption terms.

The official term for dog shows is "conformation" - as in the act of conforming to or producing conformity. Dogs are not compared to each other, rather they are measured by how well they conform to their breed standard. The closer a dog's appearance is to the breed standard, the more likely that dog will produce puppies that conform to the standard. If a dog is reasonably sound and free of major defects, it should be able to receive its conformation title, which means that the judges believe it meets the standard. While our hearts are in the whelping box with moms and babies, and planning for the next generation, the show is how we test our efforts and measure our progress. If a dog we actively show continues to be awarded by many judges, we know it has enough type to contribute to the breed. Likewise, if we show a dog we really like but the judges never place that dog, it gives us a reason to reevaluate our breeding program and keeps us from becoming "kennel blind".

Genetic diversity refers to the research and testing developed by Embark to determine the genetic relationship of a dog not only to a potential mating but to the entire breed. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are a breed from a small group of dogs from the same breeding, so they are all fairly related even though, according to their pedigree, they should not be. Before this test, we had no idea how related our dogs were to each other. Now, thanks to Embark, we have a test for that! We use it to determine our dog's genetics and relationship to the breed, and we also use it to set up breeding tests. In test breeding, we can see what kind of parentage our dogs have and what genetics they can produce together. If we put girl A and boy A together, we can determine at the genetic level what category they are; if they are category 5, that means they are the genetic equivalent of first cousins or great-grandparent and great-grandchild. The diversity test is an incredible tool that we are proud to be using!
