Typically, from a reputalbe breeder, “pet quality” puppies cost roughly $600-$1200. (Sometimes more, depending on the breeder and the lines they are from.)For the first year you have the puppy, getting all the initial “puppy supplies” (crate, bed, grooming supplies, collar & leash, food bowls, etc.), the required vet visits (vaccination series, spay/neuter, microchipping, etc.), heartworm and flea preventative, etc. will run you at least $1000, likely more than that even.EDIT: I honestly wouldn’t touch a $200-300 puppy with a 10-foot pole. Quality dogs are expensive. I want to get a puppy that I know comes from healthy parents (health checks, eyes certified, patellas checked, etc.). My pet-quality papillon was $1000. (Her fault is she has white on one of her ears, which is why she was sold as a “pet”, she can’t be shown because that mismark is a fault.) If you have someone selling puppies for $200-300, they can’t even come close to covering thier own expenses of the litter. Therefore, it is a huge red-flag that they are skimping out on things they shouldn’t be.Here is a break-down of some of the above mentioned expenses:I’ll give you a run-down of the estimated costs I’ve spent on my healthy puppy in the past 6 months that I’ve had her: initial supplies (crate, grooming needs, toys, etc.): $150puppy wellness exam: $80vaccinations/booster shots: $150spay & microchip: $300training classes: $300 (2 obedince classes and 1 agility class)flea preventative (1 yr): $150heart worm preventative (1 yr): $60food & treats (each month): $20-$25bully sticks to chew on (typically 1 per week): $3 eachAll-in-all, I’ve probably spent well over $1500 in these first 6 months of owning her, and I think that’s a low estimate. (It’s probably closer to $2000.)It adds up fast. Having a dog is expensive, especially in it’s first year of life..... Show More

This is a difficult question to answer.Do you want it from a breeder or a shelter? Where do you live? What state?You could spend around 800-1000 for a pup from a breeder. (that was a quick search and it’s an average – that’s why I asked where you lived) Rescues are less.Vet care varies by where you live as well. I spend – per dog on average about $1500 – $2000 on food and vet care. More if something unusal happens. I have 5 dogs – 4 labs and one mix. This is for toys, food, vet care, beds, bones, boarding, grooming etc. yeah, close to 9k per year on our dogs. Maybe a little less but it’s about close to 9k. We went out of town for the weekend. 400 to board all 5 of them for 4 days. Try going on vacation. Owning dogs is expensive. I can’t give you an exact amount for a corgi without knowing more but estimate at least $1500 per year per dog – AFTER the purchase price of the dog – AFTER you get through the first year. The first year is more expensive usually. Buying crates, spaying, 4 sets of shots etc.... Show More

I live in NY, and my Corgi who’s father was Sammy Sosa the Westminster Champion cost 900 dollars, and my other corgi whose blood lines go back to the Queen of England’s dogs, but had bowed legs, cost 800, but would’ve cost 900 had his legs not been bowed. Both are Pembroke Welsh Corgis…as far as vet bills, it depends on the vet, accessories, look up the store you are most likely to buy from (PetSmart, Petco) and look up their prices and add ’em up. Food depends on which brand you buy…we use Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul, it’s an all natural dog food, and our dogs seem to love it. Good Luck!... Show More

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I’d suggest you https://tr.im/BNwiW A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.... Show More

If you want a Welsh Corgi, then you should go to a reputable breeder.. Don’t skimp on quality, just as you would not skimp on your dogs food.... Show More
