Woogiebear,

I had posted a thread a short time ago regarding the various prices breeders
charge for Corgis - $500 to $900 and Deb was nice enough to enlighten
everyone in regards to this, you might want to check that out.

I have my own opinion on backyard breeders, but I am sure Deb can even
fill you in on that more. I consider my sister in law(thank heavens she doesn't read this site) a backyard breeder. The last two times she bought her own dog from a back yard breeder - they usually sell them on full registration. So now, my sister in law, will in the future ,breed her new dog, and the puppies will be able to be registered by the AKC. She will not do the research on what problems could affect her breed of dog,and will not do any genetic testing on either the sire or dam because that would cost too much money out of her pocket. She will also sell them on full registration to the new owners so they can go on to breed also if they want, and then may pass on negative genetic problems if there are any - it is a wait and see and tough luck for the new owner if it does happen down the road.

She breeds to make money rather than to improve the breed; they think inbreeding is fine and dandy. Back yard breeders let their puppies go younger than what is in the best interest for the puppy - they don't usually have contracts and will not be there for you if something goes wrong with your puppy, and most of all, they advertise in the classifieds and are usually not members of their breeds reputable club because then they would have to follow more strict breeding rules, They often boast that their puppies are raised underfoot, and usually charge different prices for the males and females. There are other things, but I think you get the idea, Deb will have more comments, I am sure.
