Does my corgi looks like a full breed pembroke?
Our Corgi's name is Ein, he's 7 1/2 months old. This morning my boyfriend and I realized that his legs are really long for a corgi. Last week I saw a full grown corgi that is shorter. He is also able to jump on high things, over 3 ft high. He loves to jump up to our bed with no problem and jumping off it. I was wondering if anyone can help me figure this out. We still love him no matter what but we would like to know if the breeder that we got him from lied to us or not. Any thoughts would be much appreciated =)
Thank you all for the responses.

An obedience class will really make a big difference in figuring out how to get him to listen to you! My Sparty was very mouthy as a pup but a very dramatic yelp and, if it continued, stopping any attention put a stop to it. They are smart like young children, if they get away with something once they will continue until you figure out how to consistently discourage it.

We're not really looking into training him. We just want a happy dog as a part of our family that can understand what "no" and "stay" is hehe.. we tried the "stop attention" but he will jump on you and bug you until you have to give him attention. We try to teach him bad attention is not a good one.. but it seems that it doesn't matter to him any attention is ok for him.
Yes he is very dramatic and much like a child. We'll try and see if he can focus more as he gets older and we'll look into an obedience class. Thx =)

I do not compete with my dogs. A basic obedience class will give you a chance to have the happy, well balanced dog you want. Frequently we create the hyper, inattentive dog with out realizing we are doing it. Classes emphasize basic manners.

You might also check out herding classes - it makes my Ein very happy and helped a ton with the excess energy and listening skills! As mentioned, I think more of the farm stock have longer legs (my girl does) so the herding instinct is stronger.

He looks purebred. You should have seen my Spike at 7 1/2 months old, we went to dog shows ONLY to get experience under our belt as she was having a very gawky growth stage. We didn't stand a chance. But now, she is maturing into an awesome example of the breed.

Our Cogi is a bit taller than most as well. We recently went back to the breeders for another pup and took Buddy with us. Next to his cousins he was noticably taller. He is also able to jump on our bed - its a bit of a reach for him but he does it. I think some Corgis are just born with a bit longer legs than others. Ein's face, ears and body are definately all Corgi.

Looks like a Pem to me. Our corgi doesn't have as shorter legs as others I've seen (maybe he's leg just look longer) and he's a purebred Pem.

Corgis, like all organisms are things that are subject to natural variations regardless of what the breed standard is. He is only 7 months and not completely done growing give him a few before you start bad mouthing a breeder and get yourself into possible legal issues for defamation.
from AKC website:
http://www.akc.org/breeds/pembroke_welsh_corgi/index.cfm
Size, Proportion, Substance
Height (from ground to highest point on withers) should be 10 to 12 inches. Weight is in proportion to size, not exceeding 30 pounds for dogs and 28 pounds for bitches. In show condition, the preferred medium- sized dog of correct bone and substance will weigh approximately 27 pounds, with bitches approximately 25 pounds. Obvious oversized specimens and diminutive toylike individuals must be very severely penalized. Proportions--Moderately long and low. The distance from the withers to the base of the tail should be approximately 40 percent greater than the distance from the withers to the ground. Substance--Should not be so low and heavy-boned as to appear coarse or overdone, nor so light-boned as to appear racy.

I never badmouth the breeder! If i wanted to do that I would've went to them and said something on their website.. but instead I went here to ask for opinions from the more experienced corgis owners.
Please don't start assuming that I'm a bad person for wanting to know if my dog is a full breed or not. Wouldn't you want to know (as an new corgi owner) if your dog doesn't look like the normal breed just for knowing sake??

Hello Jessica,
My boy Toffee's body and legs length is identical to your Ein right now. He's 8 months and his legs too are unusally long. I worry about this all the time whenever I see other corgis in the park. How does Ein look right now? Did he get fill out yet? Please let me know. Thanks a lot.
Best,
Another concerned Corgi Dad
