Virginia’s experience

  • About Virginia

    We are Corgi lovers through and through! Our dogs are such an important part of our lives, and we can’t imagine being without them. It’s an amazing experience as breeders to provide others with quality puppies that we know will bring them the same joy! Owning a Corgi is a beautiful experience, and it would be our honor to connect you with the perfect new addition to your family.

  • What makes Virginia’s program special

    We take responsible breeding very seriously. As breeders, we are stewards of the future of the breed, so we are careful to always have ethical breeding practices. This includes proper health testing, intentional breeding for specific traits, and raising our puppies with proper socialization. From birth, puppies grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. If you are looking for the perfect furry companion, look no further!

Price

Puppy prices range from $1,800 - $2,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $400.

“The price includes tail docked , dew claws removed, deworming and first set of shots. I start litter training my puppies at 4 weeks old and they start using a doggy door at 5 weeks old. I do offer the option to keep the tail as well but in that case the full amount of puppy is due before puppy reaches 3 days old. I require a non refundable deposit of $400 to hold your new furbaby and remaining balance due at pickup.”
