Colors

Hi all

I'm about to be a new Corgi owner. Have been researching the breed for a while and I think I found a puppy I want. My question is, he's very black with white....almost no tan. Is this considered a fault in a Pem?

You can tell this by looking at the inside edges of the ears. If the edges are black = BHT if the edges are red = RHT (red headed tri) And if you see some tan on him then that's good, even if it's just a little. It is considered a fault if they are only black and white. But that would only be a problem if you are wanting a show dog. As a pet..... the color is secondary to personality. At least in my opinion : )

Good luck with your little one. He looks like a real cutie!!

A puppy-mill rescue? Good for you both. That missing ear will be a lifetime reminder of your bond.
