yes I have a question about the mask corgies have. Moka is going to be 10 weeks this friday and she doesnt have any white markings or a mask on her head. I wasnt sure what age they develop this.

Brody just turned 5 and Lilly turned 3 a couple of weeks ago.  So I don't think their coloring is going to change very much.  Same amount of white they had at 8 weeks old.

Looks like she has about the same amount of white on her face as my two (just a ring around the nose)

Yep, as the others said they will not develop more white than they already have as a puppy. The white can actually get smaller. Any black markings on the face usually fade as they get older though.

 

For example, when Henry was a baby he had quite a bit of black around his muzzle. Almost all of that faded except for one tiny little spot on his snout. His blaze got slightly thinner but he got more white on the muzzle.

Yes, if a corgi doesn't have white on it's head they will not develop any. They are born with it and it does decrease in size as the pup grows. I do notice some sable on the back and tail and so the head might still get a mask  as some of my sables didn't get the mask till they got slightly older and since Moka does have the markings his head may  still get some black mixed in.

 

Love the tail and I don't know if you have seen the group Pembrokes with tails but you might want to join it:)

From what I've seen, if a red/white puppy isn't born with white markings on their face then they simply won't have any.  Tri color pups are the ones that tend to have lots of color changes, though even then they sometimes don't change too much.

Not all corgis have masks. Our eldest max doesn't have one. And by looking at yours if you haven't seen any color change by now he/she probably won't have one. Honestly I donttthink you'll have one.
