Getting a puppy from Elissa

Elissa has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices range from $3,600 and include a non-refundable deposit of $700.

“We breed the highest quality Pembroke Welch Corgis for temperament, structure and health. Both of the parents are completely health tested for all genetic problems associated with Corgis and the sire is one major point away from his AKC championship. Puppies are 3,000 for limited AKC registration, this includes vaccines being up to date, deworming, and a lifetime guarantee against any genetic crippling defects. We do take a nonrefundable, good faith deposit on our puppies when you are ready to reserve one. You were able to choose the sex that you would like and color, but final choice will be at breeder discretion based on temperament of the dog, and how it will fit in with the buyer that is purchasing the dog. If for any reason, the buyer is unable to purchase the dog when it is ready to go home, the deposit may be transferred to the next upcoming litter. If, for any reason, anything happens to the desired puppy, the deposit will be transferred to the next upcoming litter.”

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Puppies will be trained to use a litter box with pine pellets in it. Puppies are raised on a ranch with livestock, children, and a very busy household with lots of daily noises. We stimulate the puppies daily with touching, holding, stimulating their paws, and holding them on their backs. As the puppies get older we focus on teaching them to stand or sit, depending on what type of hike they will be going to (show versus pet home). I utilize the following enrichment methods: Various sounds, Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, Puppy temperament evaluation , We start house training, neural stimulation, Litter Box Trained, Behavioral shaping , Human Interactions , and Potty Training.

    Elissa is knowledgeable about corgi. She crate trained the puppy before we picked her up. The puppy slept through the night in her crate from the second night! She is healthy, intelligent, and strong....
