Just read all of the replies.

I am not offended by any of these questions. If I was, I could simply leave and never come back. Jespah said it best: you all are concerned for me and my pup and you only want the best. So do I.

...

Dewey is scheduled to arrive in Virginia (where I live) on November 17th. So far I have not spent a single cent to reserve and/or buy him. I've only picked up dog toys and bowls; I just couldn't help myself.

I'm going through Aaron because he seems to know breeders. I want the opinion of an 'expert' on this situation and the way he talks with the other dog lovers at works I figured he the guy I can trust.

Two days ago Anne told me I can find a corgi in Virginia for $250. I figured there were breeders here - corgimom gave me a list - but since Aaron secured Dewey for me, I feel compelled to buy him. I've seen his pictures, I know his face - I named him already. I don't want to just forget that because I found a cheaper dog.

I can buy one of Anne's dogs right away if I wanted to but I trust Aaron and I trust his faith in his breeder.

I have one huge concern now though. I have pictures of Dewey's parents and I don't know if they are pure bred or not. Aaron insists they are but I am not convinced. I don't really know what to look for. The mother looks like a mix of something (Aaron said they look different after having babies) and the dad looks scrawny (Aaron said the breeder keeps them that size cause the extra weight isn't healthy).

I requested side views of both the mother and the father.
