corgi colors and how they develop
Red and White Female
Sable and White Female (Classic)
Sable & White Female (Red)
Redheaded Tri Female with Lesser White Markings (STRANGE BUT TRUE!)
Redheaded Tri Male
Blackheaded Tri Female
YOU CAN SEE HOW HARD IT IS TO TELL FOR SURE WHETHER A CORGI WILL BE RED
& WHITE OR SABLE & WHITE - WE HAVE NOT HEARD OF A SYSTEM FOR SEEING
WHICH THE CORGI WILL BE, UNLESS THE BREEDER KNOWS GENETICALLY WHAT IT MUST
BE, WHICH IS NOT THE USUAL SITUATION (SOMETIMES WE KNOW BUT NOT ALWAYS).
MANY CORGIS REGISTERED AS RED END UP BEING SABLE AND MANY REGISTERED AS
SABLE END UP BEING RED - BOTH ARE BEAUTIFUL AND VERY SIMILAR AND BASICALLY
RED, SO ENJOY WHICHEVER YOU END UP WITH!
WITH THE TRIS, UNLESS THE BREEDER KNOWS GENETICALLY WHAT IT MUST BE,
WHICH CAN BE THE CASE, BOTH RED AND BLACK TRIS LOOK PRETTY MUCH IDENTICAL
AT BIRTH. MANY BREEDERS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TELL THE EARLY SIGNS OF
WHETHER THE PUP WILL BE REDHEADED TRI OR BLACKHEADED TRI. THERE IS
EVEN CONFUSION AMONG BREEDERS AS TO WHAT A BLACKHEADED TRI IS - IT IS A
TRI WHERE THE AREA AROUND AND BENEATH THE EYE REMAINS BLACK.
