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 . 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 . Wife's two retired Greyhounds have passed away , but we still have YoYo ( a 3 legged cat ) .
We welcome inquiries about Cardigans and am generally available by email , bigearsk@gmail.com . Am member of Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America . 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 !
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 , in a series of emails , 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 . AKC states 80% are fronts for puppy mills & scams . Some will never see their money or puppy . One site had over 144 complaints !
A common request we get for this uncommon breed is " A Blue Merle female " . Cardigans are not a common breed . There are only a few breeders east of the Mississippi . Only a few of these breed for Blue Merles . To get a quality Blue Merle , one must breed to a Black & White for crisp color & avoid genetic faults attached to recessive genes . Breeding for Blue Merles a litter may produce one or two Blue Merles . One might be a female . For every Blue Merle pup we get 10 inquiries . So don't be hurt if Mother Nature is cruel !

So sweet.....We're 71. Have had two rescue Cardigans, a bro & sis we purchased when couldn't find any in rescue.. Both are gone now. Have had other shelter/abandoned dogs and was on a board of a shelter years ago... Have had cats, horses, sheep etc....... That said we would like another cardigan but would prefer something a bit older. Do they ever come available? We've always had two dogs but think now just one.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great breed. We have downsized to a condo but we're active..... still involved in a lot. So thought I would connect... Thanks

Ok.... NO idea if anyone is on here. But put our last Corgi Kid down a couple of months ago.. he was almost 15... His sister was put down at 10 as she had DM. So anyway, we are 71-- been on animal sheoter board, had dogs, cats, horses... but now in a condo. Still very active and looking forward to another Cardigan kid! Would maybe want one if possible that's grown..... So thanks....
ReplyDeleteWe were lucky! A breeder in New England re-homed a 7 y.o. Cardigan with us! He was shown- not used for breeding. He's very happy and loves chasing tennis balls. Since we never heard from anyone here... we hope that you are all well.
