Colours
In a working dog, colour is undoubtedly
of secondary importance to construction,
but the wide range of colours found in the Cardigan Corgi is one
of the attractive features of the breed.
These are the colours accepted by the
standard:
All shades of red, sable and brindle.
Tricoulors with or without tan or brindle points.
Blue merle (black and gray; marbled) with or without tan or
brindle points.
There is no color preference.
White flashings are usual on the neck (either in part or as a collar),
chest, legs, muzzle, underparts, tip of tail and as a blaze on head.
White on the head should not predominate and should never surround the
eyes.
Any color other than specified and/or body color predominantly
white are disqualifications.
Liver and slate blue modifictions of the black in the coat are known,
but these colours are not correct as they lead to brown and slate coloured
nose
and eye rims, and light eyes.
Brindle merle and red merle are not accepted coulors.
Both standards state that white should not predominate,
but more extensive white markings are acceptable,
albeit not enouraged, in the US and FCI countries.
Frost is a Blue Merle with brindle points.
Lizzy, Bosse and Ärtan are
Tricoulors with tan points.
Peggy and Musti are tricoulors with brindle points
and Tassa is a red Brindle.
