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 . 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 !

Our Woodchuck Philly Gal !

Settling in Cardigan style !

Hacker Alert !

A woman claiming to be a CWCCA member , emailed me . Seems this party ( unknown to me ) asked if I could buy a $200 gift card for her friend . Once her bank account is straightened out , she will send me the money ?

Buying the Brooklyn Bridge , the Easter Bunny , Santa , & now this ?

Be wary of anyone running this scam or using my name ! I contacted the CWCCA .

Please Don't Blame The Doggie !

The other day we spotted a water spill in the kitchen . The blame fell on poor Jane . A little detective work proved Jane was innocent ! It was the kitchen sink . We called the plumbers in the area . It was a step into the Twilight Zone ! To replace 2 baskets , $429 plus tax , so I called 2 other plumbers . . . $249 for house call ( 1/2 mile away ) & $275 from a highly praised plumber . What ? A veterinarian will make house calls for $65 ! My Scott-Irish blood boiled ! The parts cost $10 each ! Then there was the insult . . . My nephew fixed it with only tape & putty !

This took a lot out of Jane !
