01 / BEFORE THE PUPPY
Meet the life behind
the lovely face.
Corgis are working dogs in a small package. Think beyond the first photograph to the home you can offer, day after day.
Think about your household.
Who handles walks, grooming, and puppy breaks? Talk through workdays, travel, children, and other pets before committing.
Let the right match take time.
Meet adult dogs. Ask about temperament. Consider whether an adult rescue might suit your life better than a puppy.

02 / KNOW YOUR CORGI
Pembroke or Cardigan?
Know the difference.
Pembroke and Cardigan Welsh Corgis are distinct breeds. Get to know each before choosing your companion.
Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Generally the smaller of the two, with more pointed ears and a lighter build. Often seen with a short tail, though tail appearance alone is not a reliable breed test.
Meet the Pembroke at AKCCardigan Welsh Corgi
Typically a sturdier build, larger rounded ears, and a long, brushlike tail. Cardigans also come in a broader range of coat colors.
Meet the Cardigan at AKCIndividuals vary. Meet the dog, not just the description. AKC breed comparison ↗
03 / CHOOSE WITH CARE
A good breeder
welcomes good
questions.
Start a conversation, ask for records, and take time to review them. A club directory is a starting point, not a guarantee.
Explore the PWCCA directory ↗Can we meet the dogs and see how they live?
Ask to meet the mother and see the puppy’s environment. Discuss early experiences and how the breeder matches puppies to homes.
What health screening have the parents had?
Request identifiable results for both parents and verify records independently where available. Ask your veterinarian and the breed club which screening is appropriate; a general health check is not the same as inherited-disease screening.
Search OFA health records ↗What is included in the written agreement?
Review the price, veterinary records, responsibilities, any health terms, and what happens if you can no longer keep the dog. Get clear answers before paying.
Will you be there after homecoming?
Ask about ongoing advice, feeding and training guidance, and support if the match does not work out. Expect thoughtful questions about your home, too.
04 / PLAN THE EVERYDAY
The price tag
is only the beginning.
Purchase and adoption fees vary. Ask for an itemized total, then build a local budget for the life you will share.
- Before homecoming
- Adoption or purchase fee, supplies, safe transport, and an initial veterinary visit.
- Month after month
- Food, routine care, training, grooming supplies, and care while you are away.
- For the unexpected
- An emergency reserve and a careful comparison of pet insurance options and exclusions.
05 / PAUSE BEFORE YOU PAY
A cute photo
isn’t proof.
Pressure to send money is a reason to slow down.
- Search the seller’s name with “scam” or “complaint.”
- Reverse-search puppy photos and verify the seller independently.
- Walk away from gift-card, crypto, or wire-only demands.
- Be wary of surprise shipping fees and “today only” urgency.
