Dedicated Breeder
Greetings, Corgi Enthusiasts! I am Laura Shaver, a passionate hobby breeder of AKC Pembroke Welsh Corgis, nestled in the picturesque region of Northern California. My journey with these incredible dogs began in 1997, and since 2011, I have been dedicated to breeding and raising corgi puppies with upmost care and attention. At my home, I welcome two to three litters each year, ensuring every puppy is raised in a loving and nurturing environment. My esteemed corgi family includes Teddy, Buttercup, Nikki and Zuko, all of whom are integral to our home. I am unwaveringly committed to raising well-adjusted and healthy puppies. Our breeding program ensures none of our puppies will be at risk for developing degenerative myelopathy, as Buttercup, Nikki, Zuko, and Teddy are DM, EIC, Vwd1, and PRA clear.
Teddy boasts OFA Excellent hips and normal eye certification. Nikki's eyes are OFA certified, & waiting on hips. Zuko also has normal eye certifications and OFA Good hips. We are excited to pair Buttercup, whose eye certifications are normal, and hips rated OFA Good, with Zuko for a beautiful spring 2027 litter. This pairing promises an exceptional litter with beautiful red and sable puppies. Breeding these wonderful dogs is a true labor of love. I am committed to producing healthy, happy, and well-socialized puppies that embody the spirit and quality of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi breed. Join us on this incredible journey and welcome an Emerald Corgi into your family!
Puppy Showcase
Below are photos of recent puppies from Emerald Corgis who have already found their forever homes. While these little ones are no longer available, we proudly showcase them as a reflection of the quality, care, and consistency we strive for in every breeding. Each puppy is raised with intention, excellent structure, sound temperaments, and a strong foundation for family life. These past puppies offer a glimpse into what future Emerald Corgis families can expect when welcoming one of our pups into their home.

Purchasing A Puppy
The first step in our process is completing a puppy application.
Emerald Corgi puppies are $3,000 total, with a $500 non-refundable deposit required to reserve an approved application. This deposit is applied toward the total purchase price and secures your place once approved. I am proud to offer my carefully raised Corgi puppies to loving homes, where they are intended to be cherished family companions. Each puppy is placed with limited AKC registration, and we require that they be spayed or neutered at 18 months of age to support their long-term health and help preserve the integrity of the breed. Every puppy goes home with a one-year health guarantee (from date of birth) covering life-threatening congenital conditions. They receive proper veterinary care, including routine deworming, age-appropriate vaccinations, and a comprehensive health check prior to going home. In accordance with breed standards, tails are docked and dew claws are removed. As a proud member of Good Dog, I offer secure and convenient payment options through my Good Dog account. While service fees may apply, they provide added buyer protection and access to helpful puppy training resources (you may opt out of these fees if preferred). At this time, I do not have any available puppies. However, we are excited to be planning a Buttercup & Zuko litter, expected Summer 2026. As well as Elle & Zuko litter planned for September 2026. For updates, additional details, or to join the waitlist, please feel free to reach out via email, phone, or through my Good Dog page. Thank you for considering one of my beloved Corgis to become part of your family.

Little Wolves Potty Tray
At Emerald Corgis, we love setting our puppies and their families up for success from the very beginning. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Little Wolves Potty Trays. Little Wolves trays are a wonderful tool for puppy potty training. Their thoughtful design helps keep puppies elevated and out of their waste while also making cleanup simple and convenient. They’re a great option for continuing the potty-training foundation your puppy has already started before coming home. Another reason we’re happy to recommend Little Wolves is the company’s commitment to its products and customers. They stand behind their potty trays, so if you ever experience an issue, they’ll work with you to make it right. As part of our partnership, Emerald Corgis families can use discount code LAURASHAVER when ordering their Little Wolves Potty Tray.

Puppy Parent Reviews:

A worthy half-year waiting. Laura is amazing. Quick answer all the questions, very clear about the adoption process. She posted puppies videos and photos every several days on Instagram. I choose my cutest queen on the pick-up day. She already started the potty training. The most impressive thing is that she loves her crate on the first day come home. Just after two days, she can sleep in the crate through the night. I will definitely recommend Emerald Corgis for who would like to have a healthy, cute and smart Corgi.

Laura was so helpful through the entire process! She posted updates of the puppies and provided a lot of information so we could be ready to bring home our new puppy. We are experienced dog owners, but this was our first time getting a puppy from a breeder. Laura answered all our questions and provided us with updates in a timely manner. Our puppy has settled into our family smoothly and I believe it has a lot to do with how Laura socializes and raises the puppies before they come home with us. If you're looking for a healthy pet corgi puppy, we highly recommend working getting an Emerald Corgis puppy.

I had a great experience getting my puppy Ivy from Laura. Laura was great, communicated often and the pick up process was smooth. Ivy is a sable from buttercup and Zuko. I would recommend Emerald Corgis!
