Big Ears Kennel

Welsh Cardigans

We specialize in breeding quality Black & White and Blue Merle Cardigan Corgis since 1999 . Have taken a fancy to Black & Whites and Blue Merles with tan points . Will start selecting promising tan pointed puppies to develop a line . We offer puppies for sale to qualified homes and generally have three litters per year. Our older Cardigan friends will sometimes be placed in special homes to enjoy their retirement .

Thanks to the enforcement of zoning restrictions from the Town of Glenville , we are no longer allowed to have chickens . Still enjoy vegetable gardening . Added raising Californian Rabbits last Spring .

We welcome inquiries about Cardigans and am generally available by email . Am member of Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America & New England Yankee Cardigan Club . Breeder in good standing with AKC . Have AKC , Canadian champions & Grand Champions . Recently AKC notified us that based on our history , number of champions , showmanship , & number of litters successfully whelped , Big Ears Kennel can apply for Breeder of Merit status !

People have found my old website on angelfire . It has not been updated in 10 years & states " no puppies " . Not so , we have puppies & will have more in the future ! Follow my blog , bigearskennel.blogspot.com !

Over the years two things that bother me are ; those that ask only price & the term corgi . There are so many questions a interested party may ask about Cardigans , price should not be the first & only question ! One fellow's entire inquiry was " How much , might be interested in a female " ? My reply based on this limited inquiry was " $82,000 " . He did not appreciate my humor . Now corgi is my second bafflement . Few people realize there are two corgi breeds . I've answered " corgi " inquiries in great detail only to learn they were only interested in Pembrokes . So if you inquire about " corgis " , I will try to define which breed . If your only question is price , I may not reply !

Wish people will understand Mother Nature limits color & gender of pups available . We try to match the best pup to a good home . That can only be done by visiting & bonding . Shipping is not an option , too many horror stories . Many online sites promise Blue Merles & shipping . Before you send money to these sites , check them out . Many are fronts for puppy mills & scams . Some will never see their money or puppy . One site had over 144 complaints !

Best contact bet is my email : bigearsk@gmail.com . Still relearning new programs on my computer , so bear with me .

Last Litters for 2016 !

Had 2 Californian Rabbit litters last night . One doe had 10 , the other doe had 13 . 3 more does expecting to kindle tonight or tomorrow . Like to balance the litters , so each litter averages 8 . So if the next litters are small , I'll steal a few from these larger litters . Plan is to balance litter size with good moms .

Bruno Another Pretty Face !

Grand Champion George !

Atta boy Bruno !

Bruno attends a socialization puppy show & wows them ! Along comes a judge & wrongly states " AKC standard requires removing dewclaws " . WRONG ! AKC standard states " dewclaws removed preferred " not mandatory , not disqualification , not fault , not point deduction . President of CWCCA & other officers backed me " preferred not mandatory " . Proof of the pudding , my George earned his championship & grand championship with his dewclaws ! He was shown under at least a dozen judges with his dewclaws !
