Pricing for corgi pups with
neuter/spay agreement is generally $700. Puppies with breeding
papers start at $900 and are sold rarely and only by
special
agreement.
We prefer to sell our
puppies to homes where they will be pets. Our puppies are brought
up in the home and sleep
in
the
house - we spend a lot of time and lose a lot of sleep on their crate
training
so they will be good family members, and we will not place a
puppy
in a home where it will be kept outdoors full-time, unless it is that
unusual corgi puppy who does not like crating and prefers outdoor life
with an attentive outdoorsy family.
While
we do not have a big show name, we do have top show lines
and high health certification standards - Our corgis are all
tested for vWD and have acceptable eye evaluations.
We
use
PennHip and/or OFA for hip certifications. Our corgis are all
tested with the new DNA test for degenerative
myelopathy risk factor* and we are producing only puppies that are not at risk for this. Our Corgis have
excellent pedigrees, with many champion ancestors. Puppies
are vaccinated at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 16 weeks, and wormed regularly
from 2
weeks
of age. Our veterinarian generally checks them over at 7 to 8
weeks
of age. All puppies are now microchipped before leaving with
AVID
microchips. Parents and often grandparents (and even
great
grandparents)
are on the premises and waiting to meet you. We are located
midway
between
Knoxville and Chattanooga in Southeastern TN, about 15 minutes
from
the Sweetwater exit of I75. We are about 3 hours from Atlanta,
Georgia; 2 hours from Nashville, Tennessee; and 3 hours from
Asheville, North Carolina. We
will sometimes consider shipping a puppy, but please check with the airlines
beforehand and see if there is a flight from us to you that has no more
than one transfer. If there are 2 or more connections, because of
the current scheduling problems with airlines, the pup would be very
likely to miss at least one flight and end up stranded for too long a
time. You can contact the airlines directly to
find out if delivery to you is practical and flight costs (from TYS -
Knoxville,
TN) via Northwest (800) 692-2746 or Delta (888) 736-3738 or Comair
(877)
528-4961.
You would book and pay for the flight directly after
arrangements are made - there are additional charges by us for the
necessary carrier, veterinarian health certificate, and travel. We will generally notate if we have
a puppy scheduled to fly in the event someone is considering getting a
puppy in the same area and would like to share the travel costs. |
How Immer Essen Farm puppies are brought
up:
Our puppies are born in our bedroom and live there for about the first 3 weeks of their lives, after which they and their mom are moved into a family room of the house where they will be able to continue their socialization. At around 4 to 5 weeks, they are taken outside for "potty" several times a day, and between 5 and 6 weeks they pretty consistently no longer soil the home box. Crate training is started at 6 weeks so that they will be accustomed to a crate in their new homes. At this point, puppies go out for potty and people play in the morning, come back into the house for breakfast, and then go out again a bit later to spend the day in a play area, where lunch is served. They come back in the house in the evening for dinner and then are taken out around 11 p.m. for the last potty and people play session, coming back in to their crates until the morning. This routine has resulted in well socialized and clean AKC Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies. |
We
would like to urge all prospective neuter/spay pet
people to forget
everything they ever heard or knew about male versus female dogs as
pets
and consider selecting a boy pup for their new pet corgi. We have been
absolutely amazed at the friendly, low-key, companionable nature of the
male corgis. We've seen no inappropriate sexual habits or displays from
our boys, nor any of the bad habits which we have heard attributed to
male
dogs - they are just honest and true friends and have less desire to be
sneaky or willful than the girls. It isn't that the females aren't
sweet
and nice pets, but the boys are more interested in YOU as a friend and
are actually more involved in escorting you to do your daily chores,
hang
around the house more and wander less, and spend virtually no time out
looking for things to bark at. We have added this note because 95% of
the
inquiries we get are for female pet corgis, and we think it is both sad
and unfair that so many people are unaware of the wonderful nature of
the
boys and seem to be prejudiced against them - particularly since 1/2 of
those born do tend to be boys and do tend to be marvelous!

* While around 60% of all Pembroke Welsh Corgis tested have been found to be "at risk" for degenerative myelopathy,
a quite low percentage of these "at risk" dogs actually do develop the disease, which occurs late in life.
