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 !

The Gauntlet Has Been Tossed !

Please don't blame Harri , he was only being a Cardigan ! His owner said . . . I can't believe it . . . " Harri's the best dog ever ! " . What does that make the Cardigans you got from us , Pembrokes ? Please I can understand her pleasure & excitement of owning a Big Ears Cardigan , many sent emails backing her feelings ( some bought 3 ! ) but no one was bold enough to claim " best dog ever ! " . Advised her to enter Witness Relocation Program , once reaction hits from this heartfelt but bold statement !

    Why do I say Harri's the BEST? Well, he manages a household of two cats, two horses, countless squirrels and annoying birds. He chases off bears. He ensures that nobody walking by enters our 23 acres of sanctuary. When anyone does come in he greets them with love and kisses. But most of all, whenever I touch him I feel better. He eased a lot of sorrow and makes me laugh every morning before I even get out of bed.

    I'll echo that sentiment re: Clifford. Can they both be the best dog ever? Perhaps.

    My sparky is also the best, though Millie is better. Sparky protects us form evil doers that walk down our road, pieces of paper that have blown across the road and caught in the weeds, and the burn cage. Millie is the best because she puts up with him. They are the best in my world.
