We are currently no longer offering the American corgi, but this flyer is unfair and inaccurate. Quite frankly it made me mad.
Blanket statements that label all American Corgi breeders as “unethical liars” are not only false, they’re harmful. Ethical breeding is defined by honesty, transparency, health testing, and responsible placement—not by whether a dog fits someone else’s preferred registry or definition of “purebred.”
There are American Corgi breeders who are completely upfront about what they breed, what the dogs are, and what they are not. These breeders do not misrepresent their dogs as Pembroke or Cardigan Welsh Corgis, and many do extensive health testing, sometimes more than what is routinely done in some purebred programs.
The claim that American Corgis are inherently unhealthy or that their breeders “don’t health test” is simply false. Unfortunately, lack of health testing exists in all corners of the dog world, including AKC Pembrokes and Cardigans. There are purebred breeders who do not test for DM or other heritable conditions—being “purebred” does not automatically equal ethical or well-bred.
Calling American Corgis “disease-carrying mutts” is fear-based rhetoric, not education. Mixed-breed dogs are not automatically unhealthy, just as purebred dogs are not automatically healthy. Health comes from responsible selection, testing, and breeding practices, not labels.
Most importantly, buyers also have responsibility. No one should blindly trust a flyer, a registry, or a breeder’s word alone. Consumers should:
• Ask for health testing proof
• Learn about the breeds involved
• Talk to multiple breeders and owners
• Do independent research—then do more
I actually seen a rescue group “rehoming a Merle Pembroke”. Several people politely corrected them saying she was an American corgi, but her adoption fee was $900! Nothing like a rescue capitalizing on her Merle coloring!
