Stud dog owners don't provide a list of puppy buyers. How many of your corgis have you actively had stand at stud? Even if one of your boys was used by his breeder, the circle of Breeders you would be traveling and dealing with is far different than what the proposed situation is here. So unless you have actively bred, had a dog at stud, whelped and placed puppies, an idea or vision of how things should be can totally miss the mark as your points in this discussion have illustrated.
Even if someone has a waiting list for puppies of two dozen names doesn't mean that a one of them will actually buy a puppy by the time the litter is ready to go home. Happens all the time. People change their mind, get another dog/puppy or were never serious to begin with. Responsible Breeders hang on to the puppies until the right home comes along, that's a part of the Code of Ethics they go by for one, and just part of being a Breeder and we know that. Now where this differs from what is being played out before us is, the motivation for breeding here is so their dog can have some "fun", provide corgi puppies for "everybody" and pocket cash. Via my rescue position, I had a phone call after Christmas wanting to know what to do with her leftover Christmas puppies, the ones out of a litter she had ready to go "just in time for Christmas." Where was the stud dog owner here? They'd pocketed the stud fee and gone their merry way.
