Corgi Breeders

If you wish to get a Welsh Corgi, it’s advisable to buy it from a Corgi breeder. Welsh Corgi breeders usually carry out genetic testing as well as provide a complete background of the dog. Breeders are a good source of vital information on how well to care for your Corgi throughout its entire life. If at any point you are unable to continue keeping your Corgi, then the breeder will be of much help in getting a new owner for him.

Breeding Corgis at home is not very safe. Being small dogs, they tend to have difficult pregnancies. Not unless you are ready to offer very good care of the female Corgi and have a vet on call, it would be better to buy them from a Corgi breeder.

In fact many breeders will spay or neuter their Corgis since most buyers want them as companion dogs due to their temperament and thus they will be comfortable with this fact. Furthermore, neutered or spayed Corgis have better hormonal balances and thus stable temperaments combined with a healthy fur. They also live longer with better quality of life due to lower risk of serious medical conditions.

Health concerns for Corgis

Corgis are considered a healthy dog breed. They have very few serious medical conditions that may affect them throughout their lives. If you acquire your Corgi from a reputable Corgi breeder, you’ll be sure that most of these conditions won’t affect them since they have been tested for the most prevalent conditions in the Corgis. These are the Von Willebrands, eyes and hips diseases. Breeders will then provide copies of the health certificates for future reference.

Von Willebrands disease is a genetic condition affecting Corgis which causes clotting problems in the blood. It can be eliminated through thorough testing.

Hip problems in Corgis involve abnormality of the hip joints. In Corgis hip dysplasia is inherited from the parents through a combination of genes. Breeders are keen to carry out x-ray examination on their dogs to detect any form of this condition early enough.

Other diseases to afflict this breed are degenerative myelopathy and obesity. Corgis are especially prone to obesity since they tend to have a good appetite and this is why daily exercise is highly advisable.

Their small frames are also a problem with increased weight. The breeder will inform you on the right kinds of foods to feed your dog to avoid this problem.

Corgi Breeding and Registration

For registration purposes, Corgi breeders will offer a non-breeding contract. This means that you should not breed your Corgi and if you do so, the puppies will not be registered. These puppies are not to be considered pure breed as they won’t have the relevant papers to prove it.

Most Corgi breeders will give most Corgis their first shots but the owner will have to follow up with the subsequent ones with their vets. Of course the Corgi breeder will advise the new owner of when these shots are due.
