HOW DO I GET A PUPPY?
If you are interested in one of our puppies, the first step is to fill out our puppy application! This application will help us learn more about you, your family, and what you are looking for in a puppy. I try my best, and do everything I can, to properly place puppies in homes that will be best for them, and pair people with the best puppy for them and their families.
I will do my best to honor requests for specific colors and/or sexes the best I can, but my main goal is to help you find the puppy with the best personality and temperament to suit your needs.
If you have any questions about the application, shoot us an email! 😊
IS THERE A WAIT?
Sometimes! Our waitlist does fill up quickly, but sometimes a person who was waiting, may decide to hold off on getting a puppy. Sometimes the timing isn't right, sometimes they have a family thing, sometimes I just won't hear back from them, etc. But when this happens, I go to the next person on my waitlist. You could be very next, or you may end up having to wait until the next litter. Either way, we will keep you on our list until you get your puppy (or you ask us to remove you).
HOW MUCH ARE YOUR PUPPIES?
Puppies are 2500. This is based on the pedigrees of the parents, the time, the effort, and the money, put in to raising a litter of puppies. Raising sound, healthy, well bred pups is expensive and our puppy prices reflect that. It also reflects the time, money & effort we put into proving that our dogs are worth breeding. i.e.: showing, titling, instinct testing, health testing, etc.
Puppy prices are non-negotiable.
WHAT AGE DO YOU SEND PUPPIES HOME?
The earliest we send puppies home is 10 weeks old.
CAN I PICK MY PUPPY UP AFTER 10 WEEKS OLD?
Of course! However, as of 12 weeks old, I do begin to charge $50 a week for boarding + any vaccine costs.
For an additional $50 a week, you can also opt for some additional one on one training for your puppy. This includes house training, basic commands, leash work, etc.
I DON'T LIVE IN OHIO, DO YOU HAVE ANY TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS?
Yes! If you don't live in Ohio (or even just far away IN Ohio), I do offer delivery for puppies. This, of course, would be an extra charge and price could vary depending on where you live.
​
Delivery charges would include:
Gas & Mileage (.65/mile - per the federal mileage reimbursement rate) to & from delivery point.
Hotel accommodations (dependent on distance)
​
We can come all the way to you, or meet you somewhere. It's up to you!
DO YOU SHIP YOUR PUPPIES?
No. At this time I do not offering shipping or flight nannies as a delivery option.
DO YOU SELL YOUR PUPPIES WITH BREEDING RIGHTS?
No. Breeding rights are only offered when puppies are going to another trusted show/breeder home. All puppies are sent home with limited AKC registration.
ARE CORGIS PREDISPOSED TO ANY GENETIC HEALTH ISSUES?
Yes, genetic diseases such as Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC) and von Willebrand Disease (vWD) can affect Corgis.
However, we make sure to test for all of these things in order to make sure that we are producing puppies that will live a long, happy, healthy life!
We offer a lifetime genetic health guarantee with all of our pups.

HOW EASY OR HARD IS IT TO TRAIN A CORGI?
Training a Corgi can be pretty easy! They are a herding breed and a working dog, so they are very intelligent and have a lot of drive and energy.
While they can have their stubborn moments, Corgis are very willing to learn and eager to please. They can be very food, or toy driven so either will help you in your journey to obedience. Corgis can learn to do anything from basic commands, to dog sports, to service dog work. The possibilities are endless!
SHOULD I GET PET INSURANCE FOR MY CORGI?
As with any dog, insurance can definitely be beneficial for emergency situations. Is it required? No. But it could definitely come in handy.
WHAT IS THE BEST FOOD TO FEED?
The food you feed is all dependant on you and your dog. Based on your dogs needs, your budget, and your preference, there is a very wide selection of dog foods to choose from.
A couple of our personal favorite brands are, Taste of the Wild and Diamond Naturals.
When you take your puppy home, we always send a small bag of their current diet home with them. This gives you the opportunity to make a smooth transition to a new food, if this is what you prefer.
I JUST BROUGHT MY PUPPY HOME, AND IT HAS DIARRHEA. IS THAT NORMAL?
Yes, don't panic! It is actually very common for puppies to get soft stool once going home. It's is typically due to the stress and changes of going to a new home. Pumpkin puree can help, but it usually goes back to normal in a few days.
MY PUPPY IS BREATHING REALLY FAST IN THEIR SLEEP, ARE THEY OKAY?
This is a question I actually get asked a lot. This is totally normal. Your puppy is just small with little lungs. Fast breathing can be caused by exercise, REM sleep, they're hot, and because their metabolism is higher than an adult dog's. However, if fast breathing is accompanied by things such as vomiting, lethargy, pale gums, etc., contact your vet right away.
