How to distinguish between real and fake Corgi? You can tell from the Corgi’s body shape generally in 25~31 cm, weight 10~12 kg, head shape fox-like, cranial rather wide eye oval, hard ears, medium size, rather long neck, hard back, horizontal, deep chest, short waist, short limbs with sufficient bone mass, short, very natural, self-effacing and smooth gait. As long as the following characteristics are met, it means that the Corgi is a purebred dog. Physical Height: Male Corgi 11.0-12.2 inches (28.0-31.0 cm) shoulder height Female Corgi 9.8-11.4 inches (25.0-29.0 cm) shoulder height Weight Range: Male Corgi 22.0-26.5 pounds (10.0-12.0 kg) Female Corgi 22.0-24.3 pounds (10.0-11.0 kg) Head Includes head, face, eyes, ears, nosepiece, mouth, muzzle, muzzle, jaw, teeth Head: Fox-like in appearance, expression appears intelligent, concerned about surroundings, and not timid. The skull is wide and flat between the ears, the frontal nasal frame is moderate, the cheeks are slightly rounded, and the front face is well defined, making the muzzle gradually pointed. The distance from the occipital bone to the center of the frontal nasal frame is greater than the distance from the frontal nasal frame to the tip of the nose, in the ratio of 5 parts of the total length of the skull to 3 parts of the total length of the front face. Eyes: Eyes oval, medium sized, not round or prominent, slightly oblique. Eye brown, in harmony with the color of the coat, black at the edge of the eye, black is the most appropriate color. Black is full of expression and true black eyes are the least desirable color, as are yellow eyes and blue eyes. Ears: Hard, medium sized, tapering to rounded ear tips. The ears are mobile and sensitive to sound. The triangle formed by crossing a straight line from the tip of the nose through the eye to the tip of the ear is close to an equilateral triangle. Bat ears, kitten ears, large, weak ears, droopy ears, and ears that are positioned too high or too low are all undesirable ears. Button ears, rose ears, or droopy ears are all severely punished defects. The nose is black throughout. The torso includes the neck, chest, ribs, loin and back, front of the torso, and skinNeck: The neck is quite long, with enough length to make the entire body rich in balance. It is slightly arched, neat and well integrated with the shoulders. A neck that is too short will give a stifling feeling, and a neck that is too long, too thin or ewe-like will detract from the dog’s quality. Backline: The back is firm and level, with the hips neither protruding nor concave. A slightly dense neck coat interspersed with a slightly shorter body coat will cause a slight concavity behind the shoulders, which is permissible. Body: The ribs are well sprung, slightly oval and of appropriate length. The chest is deep and drops down between the forelimbs. A body that is too low will interfere with ease of movement and should be penalized. The torso tapers toward the loin when viewed from above. Waist: Short waist. Round barrel chest, flat chest, inelastic ribs, too long and too round do not meet the criteria. Extremities include the anterior drive, shoulders, upper extremities, gumbo joints, gumbo, pedipalps, hindquarters, thighs, fly joints, joints and fly joint nails. Forequarters: short calves, as straight as possible, elbows parallel to the body. Adequate bone mass. Elbows close to the sides of the body, not loose or tight. Shoulders are positioned naturally, at a 90 degree angle to the upper arm. Hindquarters: Strong and flexible, with the hind knees at a natural angle. The legs are short. Adequate bone mass. Straight metatarsals when viewed from behind. Feet: Oval in shape, with strong, naturally arched, taut toes, two slightly longer middle toes, and firm foot pads. Naturally arched. Toenails are short. Tail tail: Short, very natural. The tail is as short as possible with a broken tail, occasionally a litter is born with a broken tail, this is allowed. An upturned length of 5 cm or less is allowed if the tail is not too high to dry out the contours of the dog’s backline. Broken tails are shorter. The unbroken tail is in the same line as the dorsal line, drops naturally and does not bend to the back. It is raised and level with the dorsal line when active and hangs low when resting. Tail too high or too low are defects. Gait movement gait is free and smooth. The front limbs are freely extended, not too high raised, and in harmony with the driving action of the hindquarters. The proper shoulder position, combined with proper elbow action allows the dog to walk freely in large steps forward. When viewed from the front, the limbs do not walk in a parallel plane, but are slightly tucked in to compensate for the short legs and broad chest. The hind limbs extend freely and are in a straight line with the front limbs, making the movement continuous and strong, and the hocks are neither inward nor outward. The movement of the paws is parallel to the movement route and cannot sway, cross, or interfere with each other from side to side. Inconsistent short movements, body swaying or walking with high legs, walking back and forth with a gait that is too compact or too open are all incorrect gaits. This Shepherd must move with agility, ease, and have stamina for the job.
