AKC Pembroke Welsh Corgis • Purposefully Raised, Socialized Early, and Matched to Your Family
Finding the Right Puppy Should Feel Exciting, Not Overwhelming
Bringing home a puppy is exciting — but choosing the wrong one can lead to frustration, stress and a poor fit for your family.
Many buyers struggle with:
- Unpredictable temperaments or the wrong energy level
- Lack of early socialization
- No guidance or support to prepare for getting a puppy or after the puppy arrives
- Puppies that aren’t prepared for real-life environments — no potty training, crate training or basic manners
A Life With the Right Corgi
A Corgi isn’t just a dog you bring home – they are part of your family.
Corgis are very loyal to their owners and most just want to be with their people. Expect them to be by your side from the time that you wake up until you go to bed.
These dogs were bred to herd cattle, and these instincts are still present in some Corgis today. Corgis with strong herding instincts tend to have higher energy levels. Most people today don’t live on large ranches and want a calmer dog. They want a family dog that will grow up with their children, a companion that is always happy to see them, even when they have a bad day, or a dog that they can take along on family outings.
Energy level and herding ability are highly heritable, and this is one reason that we are so picky about the temperaments of our moms and dads. Paying attention to the energy level of the parents and temperament testing results of puppies can help you choose the right puppy for your lifestyle.
One of our main goals in recent years has been to breed Corgis who are calmer and have less energy.
The right Corgi does not overwhelm your home, they blend in as part of the family. Many Corgis have a “Big Dog” attitude and can become bossy and snappy if not trained properly. Corgi puppies need boundaries and training. This is why early socialization, parent temperament, and a plan for training your puppy are so important.
Yes, they do shed and bark when they know that something is “out of place,” but they are the funniest and cutest dogs that you will ever meet. Each one has its own unique personality.
We Understand How Important This Decision Is
I get it.
When I look for a puppy to bring into my own program, I ask the same questions you are.
We have spent years refining our program to focus on:
- Genetic tested dogs. We want to ensure that no puppy ever develops a genetic disease that can easily be tested for.
- Lower energy dogs who are calmer. We temperament test every puppy and have found results to be a good predictor of energy levels and trainability.
- Family oriented Corgis
- Confident puppies that can adapt to different situations.
- Well socialized puppies that have a head start on manners, potty training & crate training.
- Puppies that are attentive and highly trainable.
- Good structured dogs that adhere to the Pembroke Welsh Corgis breed standards.
OUR STORY
Who we are
I am Leslie Harman the breeder behind Harman Corgis. My husband, Wayne and myself live on a farm in the Texas Panhandle near Perryton, where we raise Pembroke Welsh Corgis and showpigs. Our dogs help around the farm and are not only well socialized with people but also with livestock, horses, and cats.
What Makes Our Puppies Different
We work with each buyer to help them find the Corgi companion that is right for their family.
Our program is different by design. We perform extensive health testing on all of our dogs, and focus on temperament which is heritable. Our puppies are hand raised using a structured adaptive early socialization program to produce puppies who are confident, well-adjusted, resilient and flourish in their new homes.
We know that the first step towards that extraordinary connection between owner and dog starts by picking the right puppy. Just like humans, puppies are each individuals. When you find the right dog it is magical and when you get the wrong dog it is a nightmare.
As a Corgi puppy buyer you are looking for a puppy with a particular temperament and energy level. Energy level is one of the most important things to consider when getting a puppy since most Corgis have plenty of energy! If you are not an active person, you are probably not going to want a high energy puppy which will require multiple walks a day and hours of play to tire the puppy out. Sorry but you can not determine the energy level or temperament of a puppy from a picture and we don’t get an determination of these traits until puppies are around 6-8 weeks old. That is why we formally temperament testing all of our puppies.
We work closely with you to make sure you have the resources needed to select the right puppy for your family. This includes a private zoom meeting so you can see the puppies in action and ask questions, temperament test results, weekly videos so you can watch them grow up, and as many one on one conversations as needed.

Our puppies are healthy
No one wants to buy a sickly puppy or one that could later develop a genetic disease. While we can’t foresee the future, we do out best to set your puppy up for a long healthy life.
Corgis, like all breeds are genetically predisposed to certain diseases. As ethical breeders, we genetically test the dogs in our program and use this information to make good breeding decisions.
This ensures us that none of our puppies will be at risk of developing the Pembroke Welsh Corgi genetic diseases of DM, vWD1, EIC, PRA-rcd3 or X-SCID. Our puppies are also covered by a one year genetic health guarantee.
We make sure that our puppies are vet checked at 6 weeks of age to ensure that they are healthy. At this time our vet checks their general health, bite, eyes, heart, knees and elbows and they receive their first vaccination.
Once puppies have passed their vet check, we set up zoom meetings for puppy picking to begin. This ensures that your getting a healthy puppy.
We focus on producing great puppies
We understand how important socialization is for setting puppies up to be successful living in the human world. Our puppies are raised using our Next Level puppy program which is based upon Puppy Culture. We also includes activities which deal with the herding characteristics of the breed. This program gives our puppies a head start and teaches them how to deal with situations that they will encounter later in life. Our puppies go to their new homes being litter box trained and have started crate and general obedience training.
We know that temperament is heritable. That is why we are so picky about the dogs that we place in our breeding program. We temperament test all of our puppies when they are around 7.5 weeks old. Our buyers love this additional information to help them select their puppy.
Our waiting list guides our breeding decisions. We use preferences supplied from people on the list to determine who we breed, when we breed, what colors we need and so forth. We want to ensure that all puppies we produce have possible homes before we breed so if you are interested in getting a puppy from us please get on our waiting list.
