I feel I should let you know that $400 is a very low price for a corgi. Even for a dog bought from a reputable breeder who health tests their dogs. Also, a dog with a price this low would be considered a "pet quality" and a reputable breeder requries spay/neuter with that designation.

I am really upset with the person that sold him to me, cause I feel like they knew something was wrong and just didn't tell me.

They might not have known about the allergies or even the mange.

I promise that When I have another litter of pups, I will quantee them so that they don't end up with the same problems I have. I really feel sorry for my poor baby as well.....he looks so miserable!

How can you guarantee for something you have no control over? The way to produce quality puppies is to buy quality stock to begin with and to do the health testing that is recommended for this breed.
The quality dogs you would want to be breeding to or from will be found in the show ring with "hobby" breeders. These are the dogs that have the health testing behind them and the breeders who care enough to make sure they are breeding from healthy dogs with good temperments.
