Information on Tri-umph Puppies and Upcoming
Litters
We are very
careful breeders and only have two or three litters a year, from quality
animals who are not only fine representatives of the breed, usually champions
or at least well on their way, but who have been screened for health problems
such as hip dysplasia, and inherited eye problems such as PRA and PPMs. We
do not breed for profit and do not view our puppies as merchandise, but rather
breed to produce the soundest and healthiest corgis that conform to the standard.
Because of this, I never have to advertise in the newspaper and always
have a waiting list for my puppies before they are actually born. People
who are on the waiting list are kept informed of the progress of the upcoming
litter and have an open invitation to visit us at our farm in Brookshire,
Texas, west of Houston, and meet our corgi family.
After the puppies are born, they are raised in our house with lots of
love and stimulation, to make the
most
of their
personalities and intelligence as they develop. At four weeks the pups begin
playing in miniature tunnels made of PVC pipe and at five weeks, weather
permitting, they start going outside for play periods. By six weeks they
can use a dog door and begin house training, and by seven weeks are started
walking on leash. The first evaluation between show quality possibles and
companion dogs is made at eight weeks and continues until twelve weeks or
beyond. All companion quality pups are sold with a neutering agreement. All
show pups are co-owned if the individual has never shown a dog
before.
All pups are sold with a health guarantee and must be returned to us if the pup can not be kept, not resold, placed, or put in a shelter. It is very important to us to know whom our pups are living with as they are "our family" forever!
I hope this gives you some idea of the care and thoughtfulness that goes
into each litter that carries our Tri-umph prefix. If you would like to get
on the waiting list, please reply by e-mail, sending a detailed history of
your experience in dogs and your current living situation (house or apartment,
fenced or unfenced yard, etc.).
