No reputable or responsible breeder in the US will agree to such a request. This subject came up on our club's discussion list and none of our breeders would even consider such a notion. Now those breeders breeding for $$$ and not concerned with breeding to the standard would likely be more than happy to take one's money. Now the other option, as I mentioned in another post is to explore options in rescue. There have been a number of wonderful Pembrokes of all ages come through rescue organizations that were undocked. And we've seen a few docked Cardigans as well.
