QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Harman Corgis Puppy FAQs
Bringing home a puppy is an exciting decision, and it’s natural to have questions along the way. We’ve gathered answers to the questions we hear most often about our breeding program, waiting list, puppy selection process, transportation options, and life with a Harman Corgis puppy.
If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, we’re always happy to help.
YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS
Getting Started
How do I join the waiting list?
The first step is to complete our Getting to Know You Form so we can learn more about your family, lifestyle, and what you’re looking for in a companion.
After reviewing your form, we’ll schedule a phone call to answer questions and discuss upcoming litters. If you’d like to move forward, a $200 reservation deposit secures your place on our waiting list and is applied toward the purchase price of your puppy.
How much is the waiting list deposit?
The waiting list deposit is $200 and is applied toward the purchase price of your puppy. The deposit is partially refundable, with $150 refundable and $50 retained for administrative and processing costs until you commit to a specific litter.
When you commit to a specific litter, an additional $800 payment is due and is also applied toward the purchase price of your puppy. The remaining balance, plus applicable sales tax, is due before your puppy leaves Harman Corgis.
For complete details, please review our Waiting List Policy.
How long is the wait for a puppy?
Wait times vary depending on upcoming litters, the number of families already on our waiting list, and what you are looking for in a puppy. Because we consider preferences such as sex, timing, and temperament when placing puppies, some families may be matched sooner than others.
Once you’re on our waiting list, we’ll keep you updated about upcoming litters and opportunities that may be a good fit.
What happens after I join the waiting list?
Once you join our waiting list, we’ll keep you updated about planned and current litters.
When we have a litter that may fit your preferences, we’ll contact you. Families who commit to a litter receive regular photos, weekly videos, preparation resources, and access to a private litter page as the puppies grow.
Later, you’ll receive temperament information and participate in a private Zoom meeting for puppy selection.
Can I choose my puppy?
Absolutely. You’ll have the opportunity to watch the puppies grow through regular updates and weekly videos. At approximately seven weeks, each puppy completes a temperament evaluation, which is combined with our observations from the previous weeks.
You’ll receive the results and participate in a private Zoom meeting to discuss the puppies. The final choice is always yours, and we’ll provide information and guidance to help you choose the puppy that may fit your family best.
When do puppies go home?
Our puppies typically go home between 8½ and 9 weeks of age.
This timing allows puppies to benefit from important developmental experiences with their littermates and mother while completing key milestones in our Next Level Puppy Program. Before going home, puppies receive a veterinary examination, age-appropriate vaccinations, temperament evaluation, and continued socialization experiences designed to help prepare them for life with their new families.
BRINGING YOUR PUPPY HOME
Transportation & Location
Where are you located?
Harman Corgis is located near Perryton, Texas, in the northeastern Texas Panhandle.
While we’re located in a rural area, many of our puppies join families throughout Texas and across the United States. We are happy to discuss pickup and transportation options to help make the process as convenient as possible.
Do you offer transportation or delivery options?
Yes. We work with families throughout the United States and offer several options for bringing your puppy home, including pickup in Texas, meeting at the Amarillo airport, flight nanny service, and ground transportation.
Can I get a puppy if I don't live in Texas?
Absolutely. Harman Corgis puppies live with families throughout the United States. We regularly work with out-of-state families and can help you understand the options available for bringing your puppy home.
Can you tell me more about flying home with a puppy?
Yes. Many families fly to Texas and return home with their puppy in the cabin. We can meet you at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport (AMA).
You’ll arrange your flight, required pet travel pass, and airline-approved carrier. Because we are approximately two hours from Amarillo, please confirm the date and time with us before booking your flight.
How does a flight nanny service work?
A flight nanny personally accompanies your puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight and meets you at your local airport. Families are responsible for the nanny’s airfare, pet travel fees, and service fee.
We’re happy to discuss this option and help connect you with trusted transportation providers.
How do you prepare puppies for travel?
Travel preparation is part of our early socialization program. Puppies are introduced to age-appropriate crate experiences, car rides, new environments, handling, and other confidence-building activities before go-home day.
We also provide the health records and documentation needed for your puppy’s journey.
CLEAR EXPECTATIONS
Pricing, Registration & Policy
How much do your puppies cost?
Our pet puppies are $2,000 and are placed with limited AKC registration. This includes extensive health testing of the parents, early socialization, age-appropriate enrichment, temperament evaluation, and ongoing breeder support before and after your puppy goes home.
Full AKC registration may be available on a limited case-by-case basis for approved breeding programs. Please contact us if you would like to discuss full registration options.
What is the difference between Limited Registration and Full Registration?
Most of our puppies are placed with Limited AKC Registration as family companions and are sold on a spay/neuter agreement. Puppies with Limited Registration cannot compete in AKC conformation classes, and any offspring cannot be registered with the AKC.
Full Registration includes breeding rights and is available only in select situations.

BREEDING WITH PURPOSE
Health & Breeding Program
What health testing do your dogs receive?
Health is one of the most important considerations in our breeding program.
Before being included in our program, our breeding dogs undergo comprehensive genetic testing for inherited conditions found in Pembroke Welsh Corgis, including Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), Exercise-Induced Collapse (EIC), von Willebrand Disease Type I (vWD1), PRA-rcd3, X-SCID, MDR1, and other relevant genetic traits.
We use these results when planning every litter. Through careful selection of breeding pairs, we ensure that no Harman Corgis puppy will ever be genetically affected by DM, EIC, or vWD1. This allows us to prevent these inherited diseases from being passed on to future generations while continuing to preserve the qualities that make the breed special.
In addition to genetic testing, many of our dogs complete additional health screenings, including OFA evaluations. We believe transparency is important, which is why health testing results and supporting documentation are available on our parent dog pages.

Are your puppies Microchipped?
Yes. Every Harman Corgis puppy is microchipped before going home. The microchip must be enrolled to the new owner before the puppy leaves, with Harman Corgis listed as an additional contact for the life of the dog.
Do you recommend pet insurance?
Yes. Unexpected illnesses and accidents can happen even with carefully bred, health-tested puppies.
Every Harman Corgis puppy currently goes home with 30 days of complimentary Trupanion coverage. There is no obligation to continue with Trupanion after the complimentary period ends.
BEYOND GO-HOME DAY
Support & Ownership
What support do I receive after bringing my puppy home?
Our support continues long after go-home day. Families receive our Puppy Success Series, access to the Buyer Resource Center, and ongoing breeder support for questions about training, health, behavior, and everyday life with your Corgi.
We’re always just a phone call, email, or message away.
What if I can no longer care for my dog?
We believe every Harman Corgis puppy is a lifelong responsibility.
If circumstances change and you are no longer able to care for your dog, please contact us. We will either welcome the dog back into our care or help you find an appropriate new home.
Our dogs should never be surrendered to a shelter or rescue without first contacting us.
Do You Allow visitors?
To protect the health and safety of our puppies, we do not allow in-person visits. Young puppies are especially vulnerable to contagious illnesses such as parvovirus, so limiting outside exposure helps protect them during their early development.
Families stay connected through regular photos, videos, updates, and private Zoom meetings where you can see the puppies live and ask questions.
FINDING THE RIGHT FIT
Puppy Selection & Matching
How are puppies matched to families?
At approximately seven weeks, each puppy completes a structured temperament evaluation. We combine those results with weeks of observations to help families understand differences in traits such as energy level, confidence, resilience, sensitivities, human focus, and trainability.
You’ll receive the results and participate in a private Zoom meeting to discuss the puppies. The final choice is always yours; our role is to give you the information and guidance to help you make an informed decision.
Can I request a specific sex or color?
Absolutely. We’ll note your preferences for sex, color, and markings when you join our waiting list.
Because we cannot control what a litter produces, very specific preferences may mean a longer wait. We encourage families to consider temperament and lifestyle fit alongside appearance when choosing a puppy.
What happens if there isn't a puppy in the litter that is a good fit for my family?
There is no obligation to choose a puppy from a litter if none feels like the right fit for your family. You can remain on our waiting list and be considered for a future litter that may be a better match.
If you commit to three litters without selecting a puppy, we may determine that our program isn’t the right fit for what you’re looking for and refund your waiting list deposit.
We would rather help you find the right puppy than encourage you to choose one that isn’t a good fit.
