When you purchase a Rail Edge puppy, you are doing so much more than just buying a puppy, you are investing in a long-term pet that we have spent years and high costs to do health testing and bring in good genetics to improve the breed.

Rail Edge stands behind each puppy with a 3-year health guarantee, the best guarantee around. We also invest a lot in each of our puppies in their development program. We do the 8-week Puppy Culture development program etc. with all our puppies, that comes standard and included. The price for a puppy with the 8-week development program is $3,900 including HST.

For an additional $1,500 plus tax we also offer the option to keep your puppy an extra 3 weeks for our “11-week Puppy Culture/Imprint Program”. This includes more one-on-one socializing and “groundwork” training. More details in another FAQ. The total price for a puppy with this 11-week program is $5,595.

We require a $200 deposit to hold the puppy you choose until he/she is at least 8 weeks old and ready to go home. The balance  is due by the time of bringing your puppy home.

We do the 8-week Puppy Culture development program etc. with all our puppies, that comes standard and included. The default going home date is the Saturday after the puppy turns 8 weeks.

We also offer the option to keep your puppy an extra 3 weeks for our “11-week Puppy Culture/Imprint Program. This includes more one-on-one socializing and “groundwork” training. More details in another FAQ.

We do our best and start working at it but we don’t have enough time to get done by the time they are 8 weeks old. If you take the puppy outside once an hour or so to start (especially after feeding time) he/she will catch on fast. See the question below regarding our 11 Week Puppy Imprint Program.

Yes, absolutely!  They are our pets and love to meet and play with new people.

• Puppy starter pack sent home with the puppy includes:

  • Tube (30-day supply) pre/pro biotic paste https://www.animalproproductsshop.com/companions-choice
  • Small bag (one week supply) of TLC puppy food https://tlcpetfood.com/nutrition/railedge/
  • Soft toy with littermate’s and mom’s scent
  • Pkg of dried liver training treats

Moving away from us and their littermates can confuse them for a bit so they might whimper a wee bit but it’s usually not too bad at all. We do our best to socialize them properly so they are much more likely to take new things in stride.

We recommend you work with your vet on the exact timing. As per our agreement it must be done by the time the puppy is one year old. You don’t want to do it too early but waiting too long has cons too, we think 8-10 months is a safe age.

It’s good to protect your new puppy from places like dog parks etc until he/she is fully immunized. The puppy will come to you with only the first set of shots done. Your vet can give further advice. Having said that, it’s not good to isolate them too much through this crucial socialization period, so if you have friends with dogs that are up to date on shots or other pets it’s a great idea to let your puppy spend time with them.  

Our preferred method of payment is e-transfer, but we also accept cash, Square debit portal, and PayPal. Please add 3% surcharge if paying via PayPal. 

Great question, we like when people are concerned they are getting their puppy from an ethical breeder.  First off, we are a family of 5 (3young children) plus we have 2 wonderful employees that help us.  Therefore we are able to give wonderful care to enough adults to have regular litters without breeding each one too often. 

First off, we wait until a female is grown up and matured enough to reproduce. For Corgis this is around 2 years of age.

Secondly, we do not breed on the heat after a litter. We always give each female a nice long break to fully recover between litters, we work with our vet and wait until they are in perfect health before breeding.

Third, we have a lot of interest in our retired adults so we have them spayed and find them amazing homes before they are very old. 

We’re excited to offer the option of keeping your puppy till 11-12 weeks old and continuing the Puppy Culture course as well as doing more comprehensive Puppy Imprint Training!   This would still allow the puppy to get into your home before 12 weeks, as the first 12 weeks are the “impressionable” weeks where they are socialized and accept new situations very readily.  After 12 weeks they become more set in their ways, and it takes them longer to adjust to new situations.  

Below are the things we would work at:

• Continue the 12 week Puppy Culture program – this includes a wide variety of things, see https://shoppuppyculture.com/pages/puppy-culture-1
• Puppy Imprint Training as per the Professional Dog Training Course by CCS (Canine Correspondence Course)   http://www.dogtrainingcareers.com/about-ccs.html
• House/potty training
• Problem Prevention: aggression, resource guarding, biting, and jumping
• Crate training
• Walk on leash training
• Basic commands: sit, stay, down,

The additional cost for this optional program is $1,500 + tax. We only use positive re-enforcement training. We don’t guarantee everything will be completed after the puppy is 11 weeks and goes home to you, but this will go a long way toward setting your puppy up for success and should make things much easier for you! 

We understand this isn’t for everyone, many of our clients are capable trainers with the time to invest. This is just something we offer to those interested.
