Hello curious why this corgi is listed at 4000? Also says it’s a marked blue corgi? Is that bad? Was reading bluies are not pure Breds?

Ads like that are puppy Miller's, if it's even a legit ad. Many online puppy ads are scams.

Puppfind is a broker site, kind of like an online pet store, where commercial breeders and backyard breeders list their dogs. the website handles the money end of the transaction for a commission.. You would be very unlikely to find a good breeder on there. And the puppy is listed at $4000 because someone will be misinformed and/or uninformed enough to buy it for that much.

Of the two Corgi breeds, blue merle is an acceptable color in Cardigans, but not in Pembrokes. Neither breed is supposed to be a blue tri-color.

I'd start with the corgi clubs associated with the AKC: Pembroke and Cardigan. It's not a guarantee of a perfectly ethical breeder doing everything 100% right, but it's much more likely. A good breeder will be prioritizing the health and temperament of the dogs they breed by testing the parents for diseases and genetic disorders they not only might have, but might be able to pass onto their offspring. They'll also typically participate in some kind of dog activity - showing is a big one, but also sports like agility or activities like being therapy dogs that visit hospitals. These are all signs that the parents are physically and mentally sound dogs (again, not a guarantee, but it helps) and that the breeder cares about the dogs they own and produce and breed as a whole, not just the money they can make from puppies.

You may have to be on a waiting list, and a good breeder will ask you questions to determine that you're a good home for their puppies (again, they care about their puppies and don't want them ending up in the shelter system!), but you get much more for your money - and probably at a considerably cheaper price, in my experience.

The AKC parent clubs typically have a list of member breeders, as well as a tone of information about things like health and temperament. This is the Pembroke club Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America and this is the Cardigan club The Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America

There are several distinct differences between the two breeds, despite their initial overall similarities.
