We located these people via internet search for Welsh Corgi breeders. We were immediately were asked our location. They then offered us our choice of dogs from $500.-$600. With free shipping. We wired them (via Western Union) $500. The next day they emailed stating that they needed (and got) an additional $850.00 from the carrier for deposit on a refrigerated crate due to the weather. 98% of the deposit was refundable. The following day, they called from "Kansas City" stating that they needed another $3000.00 for "CITES Permit" and a transfer of breed form. I finally got smart and pulled the plug. The website has changed marginally, they have deleted the phone number which was different from the one listed. If you call asking about a pup, make sure you tell them that you’re a ways off and that you’ve been looking for Corgi Pup for weeks. BTW, the names used were Steven Milton (or Millton), Tommy Peterson, Dwayne Garderer who is at 1 Richard E. Bird Tunnel Drive, 23250. Phone # 5812212748, supposedly at "Ecotransporters", the carriers.
