I copied this from one of my friends who breeds cardigan welsh corgis. I absolutely support what she said! Itās really quite annoying to have to deal with people who try and bully you into reducing the price of a dog or puppy. The price is the price unless I offer to reduce it.
This is a simple psa post. I am only posting this due to the amount of messages I've gotten from people now.
Corgis are NOT low end dogs. You will not find a well bred corgi for a low end number. If you are certain that you will, you are not bringing home a well bred dog from an ethical breeder. Especially if the only thing you claim to the need the dog for, is an emotional support or a "friend" for your other dogs.
No breeder in their right mind, will let their pups, or adults go to a home for less than they are worth. Not to mention as a "friend" or "emotional support" without valid proof, and vetting.
Messaging a breeder and stating that you can and will find a corgi for less than 3 digits, and the breeder letting you know you will not in fact find one of good quality for less than that, is well.. insane. Then blocking a breeder and stating that giving facts is not a good S a l e s move, is well.. ridiculous, when said breeders recommended other options, or to save up.
Our dogs are not only our life, they are what drives us. We spend time. So much time researching, pairing, vetting, etc. To make sure we breed the healthiest if pups. We spend am ungodly amount of recourses to ensure pregnant goes, that there is an emergency fund in place, should the pregnancy or whelping go south. Not to mention the resources and time spent raising the pups, socializing, working with them, vetting potential new families, etc.
A few of these said people were previous breeders and claim to know several who will have lower digit dogs.
If you were "once" a breeder and looking for a dog to help you emotionally, especially a female.. you have no intention of following through on a contract, let alone only being a support to you or your other animals.
Please beware of potential people like this. They do not have good intentions, nor do they actually understand or want to accept facts.
