Are there any people selling a Pembroke Puppy (considerately Cheap)?

Answers:
"Cheap" dogs come with large price tags in the form of medical bills and vet expenses. They are typically poorly bred from low quality parents by a backyard breeder who probably didn't care enough to give the dam good prenatal care with food and re-vaccinating; provide her with extra nutrition during nursing; have the puppies checked after birth by a vet for health defects (such as heart murmmurs), worm and vaccinate the puppies on shedule - and forget screening the parents for hereditary health problems such as hips (nearly 20% in corgis), cardiac, thyroid, and eyes. (We are not talking the local vet for these tests.) A dog can look okay but still have the physical health condition - it just hasn't shown up yet. Such a backyard breeder did not breed for health, soundness and good temperment.

Getting a "cheap" puppy in a breed is like getting a 'cheap' car - the repair and maintence bills are murder.

You have two choices if you want a healthy dog:

(1) Adopt an adult from breed rescue

Do give serious thought to adopting from an adult from a breed rescue. The clubs' breed rescues go to a great deal of trouble to determine the dog's temperament, personality, likes and dislikes (particularly kids and cats and other dogs in the household), health, and level of training. They make a huge effort to match the right dog to the right home - and if they don't have one they think will be suitable for your home, they won't place it. Great way to avoid the puppy training, newspapers, chewing.They have dogs that are purebred and part-bred (1/2 or so of their breed.) Dogs that come through rescue are so thrilled to have a forever loving home having once been abandoned to a shelter or rescue that they are typically extra devoted and loving. Dogs lose their homes for reason that are not their fault: death, divorce, a move and they couldn鈥檛 keep them, financial problems鈥?


(2) FInd a reliable responsible breeder and see if they will work out a payment plan for a well-bred pet puppy with health guarantees

Quality pembrokes usually range anywhere from $450-$1250 for good reason. Quality dogs are bred by good breeders that check their breeding stock for health problems, temprament problems and behavioral problems. They breed healthy, good tempered dogs and it costs money to do that.

Rather than just looking for a cheap corgi why not look for a quality dog that will live with you for life. Paying a decent price on a well-bred dog can save you on medical bills down the line.

If you can't afford a good breeders prices I say find a Corgi rescue and see if you can adopt. You don't want a "cheap" one from a breeder as it will likely not be all that healthy. In the end, the potential vet bills can bring that price up to where a good breeders prices are anyway.
