Sadie's owners are looking for a Pembroke stud (preferably small boned) to sire her next litter. She is a beautiful tri-color, small-boned--though unpapered--Pembroke (photos available.)

Please let me know if you are interested.

Thank you!

My Edgar will be four years old on 8/27. He is papered and average size...you can see his pics on our profile.
If you want to discuss further I am at hadaway at cox dot net. We are in Santee next to the lakes

Hi John-I cannot believe Edgar is 4 years old already. Remember the first time I met him is like 3 years ago. It's time for Edgar to be a father. Lacy is very happy for Edgar.

Hi There, I am fairly new to the Corgi Website. I have a 2 1/2 year old male named Max who is an excellent pet and very lean and in good shape. We recently have been considering having him sire a litter. We were supposed to meet with someone this past weekend who mentioned that they wanted to breed their female but they decided at the last minute that they were going to have her spayed and not breed her at all. We never had the chance to meet and were a bit disappointed although I am sure that they had their reasons.
We are not "breeders" and are very new at this prospect but are interested in finding out more about it. We have enjoyed Max so very much. He is bright and loving and very smart!

Pembroke Welsh Corgi do have some inherited problems – the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club recommends checking for these defects before breeding:

Von Willebrand's Disease (vWD)
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
Hip Dysplasia (HD).
Eyes and hips should be checked by accredited veterinarians and declared to be within normal limits.

I know we all want our dogs to have a good start in life. I knew about the PRA and HD before choosing Bandit, but the vWD was new, but the breeders had tested for it.


You can read on down for more detailed explaination/information:

Eye Disorders. Eye exams can be done at any age. Since some eye disorders can appear at any age, parents of the pups should have CERF or ACVO Normal rated eyes during a checkup with an ophthalmologist within a year of the litter being bred. It’s good to get a guarantee in your contract against eye disorders that severely affect a pup’s vision. However, most eye disorders do not affect quality of life.

Persistent Pupillary Membranes (PPM’s) are very common in Pembrokes and in small numbers do not affect a dog’s vision and aren’t a worry. However, when found in large numbers or in sheets, they can obscure vision and are not good to have in a pet. PPM’s are blood vessel remnants in the anterior chamber of the eye (the liquid-filled area in front of the iris and pupil) which do not degenerate as normal before the dog is 3 months old. Pembrokes often have some which are retained after this age, but most usually disappear before the dog is 1 year old. Retinal folds fall into the same category as PPM's. Juvenile cataracts and retinal problems are quality of life conditions. Some bottle fed pups have been found to develop non-progressive cataracts induced by the ingredients of the formula, but most breeders now avoid these formulas.
More information on inherited eye diseases in Corgis and other breeds can be found from CERF or EyeVet.

Bleeding disorders. Bleeding disorders are rare in Pembrokes, but do occasionally occur. Von Willebrand’s Disease (vWD) is a blood clotting disorder that occurs in a few breeds in different magnitudes. Pembrokes can have a mild form of vWD which rarely causes life threatening symptoms. A DNA test is available to determine if a dog is affected (will show signs of the disease), a carrier (will not have the disease but carries the gene), or is clear of this disease, but will not test against other bleeding disorders.

I am not normally a soap box thumping person. But, I must say, that at least once if not more a week a Corgi is in the shelter or on Craigslist needing a home. I recently applied for a job at the Humane Society and they have 3 to 4 dogs in a kennel right now due to the economy and people not spaying and neutering their pets. I think you should tour some of the Humane Society's before randomly breeding your male. He may be a wonderful pet, but lordy, there are tons of dogs that go to sleep on a cold, poopy kennel floor needing a home each night.

God Bless people like Gini and the Corgi rescue that pull our little Corgi's out and nurse them back to health at great cost, financial and emotional! Both my girls are adopted through the rescue. Please, Please, Please think long and hard about breeding your sweet Corgi boy at this time.

Linda makes some good points.

The lucky ones sleep on a cold poopy floor for a while and then get adopted. The unlucky ones get euthanized.

Spay and neuter your pets! And crazy relatives! :)

Ditto Linda and Diane, and I'm so glad to hear the other person decided to do the right thing and spay her girl. Enjoy your guy, and let the people that truly know what they are doing deal with the breedings.
