Al needs REAL corgi help
Al's dad is perfectly okay with her getting a corgi as long as she pays for at least half of it.
Now, I need to know, if I get the dog during the summer of 2013, when do I speak to a breeder?
What do I ask?
How do I find a good one?

"Unfortunately, they can't tell you anything about the lineage or genetic diseases/disorders."<br /> <br /> True. Personally I think it's worth it to take the risk. Rescued dogs really could use the second chance at life.

I found out that there is a Corgi Breeder that is literally 20 minutes away from my house. :D<br /> <br /> Sooo I think sometime next year I'm going to have to speak to them about future litters.

You should check out the local rescues and see if they have any corgis before you buy from a breeder. :) Usually (I think but you'll have to ask the rescue to be sure) they do health and temperament tests before adopting them out.
Yea, that's definitely a go to.<br /> <br /> Hmmm I need to find a good breeder now so that I'm ready Dx

Also, ask to see where they keep the dogs/puppies. To make sure it aint some backyard-kennel-breeding deal.

http://www.akc.org/classified/search/landing_breed.cfm<br /> <br /> I would advise against buying one off Craigslist/Kijiji/whatever and buy one from a reputable breeder (such as one found on the AKC website)<br /> Ask to see the parents, ask about any past health issues with them, ask to see pedigrees, ask about what food the dog is eating, ask about any illnesses or past sicknesses in the puppy, ask about any inherited disorders or diseases in the lines.
