So you are considering a Cardigan for yourself or family.

First, Cardigans are a unique breed and are not suited for everyone. Cardigans will do best in an engaged situation; they don't need to be performance dogs but they do need people who want to be involved with them--daily stimulating them both physically and mentally. Before placing a puppy or older Cardigan, we want to be sure its new owner is informed and understands the unique and special characteristics of the breed, as well as learning a bit about the care and purchase of a Rhoswen Cardigan puppy.

Puppy Buyer Information

Since we take our responsibility seriously to raise each puppy in our home with love and care, we also want to ensure that any puppy placed goes to an individual or family that will ensure that their puppy is loved, cared for and has a forever home. As such we do ask each prospective buyer to complete our questionnaire so we might better understand your needs and we can make sure each of our puppies are placed where there is a best “match” between you and the puppy.

If you have never owned a Cardigan before, we highly recommend that you visit some of our links to learn as much as possible about the Cardigan breed. We want anyone considering a Cardigan puppy to take the time to make an informed choice to be sure they are able to offer the unconditional love and necessary activity and socialization that makes for a happy Cardigan.

Puppy Care

We work closely with our veterinarian to ensure the proper and best care is provided to all our Corgis including both pre- and post-delivery of our puppies. Proper nutrition for both mother and puppies are of utmost importance. Our puppies receive the required vaccinations and deworming care appropriate for their age prior to being placed in their new homes.

In addition, puppy socialization is very important to us. Our puppies enjoy individual attention and socialization from birth. We believe this maximizes the puppy’s ability to adjust to ever-changing situations and transition to their new home.

Puppy Placement

Once a litter is born we evaluate each puppy and as the puppy grows we select which puppies we will retain and which puppies we will sell as companion quality only. Puppies placed as companions are sold only with a spay/neuter, non-breeding agreement, AKC Limited Registration, and a one-year health guarantee. If age appropriate, companion puppies will be spayed/neutered prior to leaving for their new homes. Our contract is available upon request.

Going To Its New Home

Safe delivery and transport for our puppies is also paramount. For buyers who live outside the immediate Treasure Valley area but within the State of Idaho arrangements can be made with us to pick up their puppy. All other puppy pickup arrangements are to be coordinated with us and transportation costs will be the responsibility of the buyer. When it is necessary to ship a puppy to its new home, we will coordinate the shipping arrangements with the airlines to maximize the safety and comfort of the puppy. We ship from the Boise Airport and it is necessary to follow strict government and airline safety guidelines for live animal shipments. Shipping costs including an appropriately sized shipping crate, and required health certificates are the responsibility of the buyer. Rhoswen will provide transportation to the Boise Airport necessary to ship the puppy to its new home. 

After Arrival

We care enough about each and every one of our puppies to keep in touch with their new owners to ensure that the puppies transition goes smoothly and to answer any questions that might arise. Periodically, we like to hear from owners about their Cardigan and we always appreciate pictures.
