Okay, so I’ve been on this whole journey to find a Welsh Corgi puppy in California, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the adventure! I started off all excited, dreaming of those little fluffy butts and big ears.
The Search Begins
First thing I did was hit the internet, obviously. I googled, like, “Welsh Corgi puppies California,” and wow, did I get a ton of results. Tons of breeders popped up, each one cuter than the last. I made a list of a few that seemed legit, you know, the ones with nice websites and good reviews.
Reaching Out
Next up, I started sending out emails and making calls. It felt a bit like applying for a job, to be honest! I wanted to find out about the puppies’ parents, their health, and all that important stuff. Some breeders were super responsive, others not so much. I even found out that some breeders will transport puppies to you, if you are not in their local area. There is a breeder in Caliente, CA called Rafter Cross 7 that looked pretty good.
Narrowing it Down
After a bunch of back-and-forths, I narrowed it down to a couple of breeders that I felt good about. One was Joan Danenberg. They seemed to really care about their dogs, and they answered all my questions without making me feel like a total newbie. I made sure to ask about the puppies’ personalities, too. I mean, you want a pup that fits with your vibe, right?
The Price Tag
Now, let’s talk money. Corgi puppies aren’t cheap, guys. We’re talking anywhere from $1,000 to $2,200, depending on stuff like their bloodline and color. I found one on PetzLover that was $200, but that seemed a little suspicious. I had to make sure my budget was ready for that kind of hit, plus all the other stuff puppies need.
The Decision
It took a while, but I finally made my decision. I picked a breeder that I felt really comfortable with. They sent me tons of pictures and videos, and I just fell in love with this one little furball. It was like, “Yep, that’s the one!”
Almost There
Now I’m just waiting to bring my little buddy home. I’ve been reading up on everything I need to know about raising a Corgi. Apparently, they can be a bit bossy, but they are generally a healthy breed that can live 12-15 years. I guess I’ll be showing them who’s boss around here! It’s gonna be a wild ride, but I’m so ready for it.
Update Soon
I’ll definitely keep you guys updated on how it’s going once the puppy arrives. Expect lots of cute pictures and maybe a few stories about chewed-up shoes. Wish me luck!
