We purchased two male corgis from Tiffany about a year apart. I should have trusted my instincts when dealing with her the first time around. No communication, but gladly took our money for a wait list. We had to keep following up with her to get updates otherwise she would have happily taken our funds and ghosted us. After reading other reviews here I can see that I am not alone in my experience with her. Her 'contract' is written very one-sided and holds no recourse for breach on her part, but imparts severe civil penalties to those who break the terms (purchasers). She does not have any reliable way to reach her which has prompted me to begin legal proceedings and at the advice of my attorney I will also be pursuing criminal complaints against her. I have a hunch she is no stranger to those either. Luckily, both of our boys are healthy and have not suffered the fates others have shared in their reviews. However, our boys are half-siblings showing pretty serious aggression toward each other, prompting us to invoke a clause in her contract to surrender one of the dogs back to her. No response for over a year. I have contacted her on Facebook, email and text, as has my spouse. It's very well documented and will be a key piece in my next steps against Tiffany. Tiffany has pretty terrible business ethics and based on other online searches she also has a significant problem with care of the animals she breeds. It is my opinion that she is shifty and knowingly scams people, which is where the criminal complaint comes into order. If you are reading this run away from this 'breeder'. Tiffany may think she is playing a nice con by taking people's money, but she has yet to meet someone like me who will hold her accountable. This will well exceed a small claims judgement. If you are one of her victims you may also want to look into advice on pursuing criminal complaints against her. I also strongly encourage people who have been scammed to look into her operating an unlicensed business and accepting Venmo and Cash App payments (which I would imagine she doesn't claim on her taxes). People like Tiffany can only dodge justice for a bit. Hopefully I will be the one to ensure justice finds her and lands her in jail. Please join me in pushing this through all the way with criminal and civil penalties. read more

Do not purchase from this backyard breeder. This review has been long overdue and it's a painful one to write. We made the unfortunate mistake of buying a puppy from Tiffany. From the day we picked up our puppy he started showing signs of poor appetite and vomiting. He was hospitalized and passed away six days after we had first picked him up. He tested positive for Parvovirus. Tiffany showed no remorse. Even when showing her the positive test results, she made up a lie stating that it is a false positive. She also tried to blame us for our puppy's passing. We took Tiffany to court and she was suppose to pay us back. She refused to pay the full amount upfront and would only agree to monthly payments over the course of about a year and half. She made four payments to us which were late from the agreed due date each month. Then stopped paying us. She would not respond to our messages about payment. We also discovered that a family went through a similar situation as us and tragically lost their puppy in less than 24 hours from when they picked their puppy up from Tiffany. Today, she still continues to produce litters of unfit puppies every month. Please stay away from this backyard breeder. No one else should go through the tremendous heartache that we and other families have went through because of this backyard breeder. read more

Absolutely DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS BREEDER!!! Read the reviews and beware. My mother and father in law fell for this, scam as anyone under 40 would call it. At first super responsive. But as the process continued they fell off and would respond to texts or calls regarding updates. The deposit is like $300-350 and non-refundable to hold your spot for a liter pick. The rents didn't do their research and if they did you would see that the dogs have genetic issues and issues with papers!!! You're paying for a hobby breeder. Not a dedicated breeder. They won't let you visit the location. Nor see the conditions the puppies come up in which should have been the parents first red flag. But they are in their 70's and it was not caught. My thoughts they have too many side projects and aren't focused on the quality. Which is fine. Drop your price. Drop the papers. And charge $500 a dog. Not $2,000. That's insane. Again.. No No No. don't do it. We are moving on to another breeder who is responsible and ethical. Who will let us confirm the conditions for the puppies are appropriate and will keep us updated on the entire process read more

I bought two pups from Tiffany within a year of each other. Initially, she was responsive and friendly, but every interaction I had with her, before and after receiving my dogs, were initiated by me. She never followed up on her own to check in on them or see how they were doing and adjusting. I followed all stipulations in our contract as far as spaying both of my girls once they reached 18 months, sent her the paperwork from the vet and then requested the papers she supposedly has on my dogs. She kept saying she would get the registration to me, but it never happened and she finally ghosted me. Paid $5,000 for two dogs that don't even have limited AKC registration, or the proof of genetic testing. In addition, one of my dogs has been to the vet numerous times now for bladder stones which after testing, the vet has determined is a genetic issue. This has turned into a huge financial burden with special diet food, supplements and an expensive surgery to try and alleviate my poor girl's issue. She's only three years old. Going forward, I'll never purchase a dog from her or any other breeder that won't provide registration and medical papers at time of purchase. All of the other reviews paint a pretty clear picture. But she'll keep making money because others (like me) will ignore the reviews, trust her and hope for the best. read more

Backyard breeder who does not care about the dogs. My gf and I bought a puppy a year ago and he died within 18 hours of pickup. We took her to small claims court and won (her second small claims loss within a year time frame) and she has yet to pay us the thousands of dollars owed. She has had numerous animal control incidents called to her property in Hemet. I have all the proof if you have questions message me. read more

One year anniversaries are usually reserved to celebrate happy moments from the past. However, a year ago yesterday we lost Bova I, a mere 18 hours after picking him up. When we purchased him from Tiffany Vandenberg, of California Corgi Dog Kennel https://m.facebook.com/CCDK2022/ and now Arevalo Corgis of the Midwest https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552585693749&mibextid=LQQJ4d , we thought we'd had found our perfect puppy. Unfortunately for us, that was not the case. We came to find out Tiffany is a backyard breeder who has been "raising" and selling unfit puppies for years. In fact a week before we picked up Bova I, she was in small claims court for another poor family that tragically lost their puppy in a similar manner - which she was found liable for. When we confronted her about the situation, she showed no remorse, and we had to bring her to court, where again she tried to deflect the blame, and in fact tried to blame us for his passing. A completely unsubstantiated claim. To this day she has yet to pay us the thousands of dollars that is legally owed. Not to mention the multiple animal control reports she has on her property in Hemet, CA. While it was never about the money, she should have to bear the responsibility of her irresponsible actions, which have caused immeasurable pain upon many. To this day, she is still selling puppies - multiple litters a month in fact. In a world where nearly every profession has some licensure, it's a shame that she is able to continue selling animals she clearly does not care about. This post is to raise awareness about backyard breeders and to expose her indecent acts, as she continues to be found responsible for the deaths of puppies, and refuses to show any remorse for her actions. read more

They're cruel, unprofessional, and only in it for the money. Customer service be damned. My review is backed by the text message screenshots I've taken that can be found here. https://imgur.com/a/yY1Ka5j If you don't believe it, see the messages and then decide. Tiffany tried to change the terms of our contract 4 months after it was signed and 6 weeks before we expected to have a new addition to the family. When I wasn't ok with the change, she made up an allergies excuse to get out of the deal (we don't have allergies) and then canceled. You could hear in her voice the power trip she has and how angry she gets if things don't go her way. She canceled on us after we made arrangements, purchases and took time off to spent with our new pup. We lost 4 months because she couldn't hold her end of the deal. Also, I had to consistently follow up to get any status updates and she flat out ignored questions asked of her. All of this is seen in the texts. https://imgur.com/a/yY1Ka5j Buyer beware, you need to be ok with sketchy behavior for months, else she'll drop you in a heartbeat because she has a waitlist of customers. read more

Tiffany is terrible! I asked about testing for hip dysplasia, based on research and information from my grandparents who used to be corgi breeders and show-ers, and she got extremely defensive, asking me for evidence of the prevalence of hip dysplasia in corgis. I provided her with the research that says "The OFA ranks the Pembroke Welsh Corgi as one of the top 50 breeds in terms of hip dysplasia prevalence (18.4% as of May 2011). Similarly, the present study diagnosed hip dysplasia in 31% of Corgis [over] 2 years of age, agreeing favorably with this figure." and instead of assuaging my concerns or answering my questions - she remained defensive and said I'm welcomed to look elsewhere. When I left a review similar to this one on Facebook, she removed all of her Facebook reviews, which have now disappeared. This is purposeful negligence toward her customers. She is not registered with the PWCCSC, and for good reason on PWCCSC's part! If she had been able to assuage my concerns, I would have been happy to move forward, but she's just looking to cut corners and make a quick buck off of unassuming corgi lovers! read more

See all

Was very responsive and had sent a deposit/holding fee for a corgi. But unfortunately I was no longer to be on the waitlist and had asked for a refund 24hrs after and they ghosted me... Did not state that it was non-refundable. Also said they would send a contract later that day to confirm being on the waitlist, which they never sent! Previous reviews make sense, and I hope no one else goes through this with these people. read more

She definitely only cares about the money. And until you've given her money, she doesn't care about you. Expect to be on a waitlist for wayyy longer than her "estimate" (try double). And while you're on the waitlist, you won't hear a peep from her. No updates, no check ins. And if you reach out to her, she'll just keep telling you that you should have a pick at the next litter which was just a straight up lie. She doesn't do all the recommended corgi breed health checks but yet still charges $3k per puppy. Do yourself a favor and find a breeder outside of California, I wish I did. There are amazing breeders out there that'll sell you their puppy for half the price this lady is selling for. read more

First of all, I've been wanting a Corgi for years! I've researched like crazy and was recommended this business to finally make the leap! Tiffany is informative and friendly. Our pup does extremely well in social settings and LOVES meeting other pups at the dog park! We've had no health issues, but that's to be expected as Tiffany provides assurance that you receive a healthy, happy dog. The parents are health tested so I've definitely gotten peace of mind about no sudden health issues arising. The puppies are absolutely adorable... I wanted all of them!! I will definitely be purchasing our next pup from this business, again, and can't recommend it enough to others! read more

The business conducts false advertising. Tiffany has a website that claims she conducts testing on all of her dogs and it leads one to believe she is reputable but nothing could be further from the truth. If you see the pictures of people purchasing dogs they are all in a mall parking lot that way you don't see how she raises the pups. Should you make the mistake of failing for the deposit request without verifying she actually tests the sire and dam, she will keep your deposit and burn you. We asked for proof of the tests and got one test result for a "Tri color male" not the name and AKC number of the Sire. Instead of providing the test results, she provides a smart ass comment, stating she does not raise substandard pups. If you check OFA website, you will not find any breeding pairs as she claims she is OFA certified Stay clear of this deceptive bitch. Tiffany, should you read this enjoy your stolen $250 read more
