Although the Corgi is small in size, its frame is quite broad, so when choosing a puppy, you must pay attention to their bone mass, head and coat color.

1. Bone mass, which is what most people talk about and is also an important indicator of the so-called good Corgi dog, is actually very one-sided. It is inaccurate to one-sidedly select a Corgi based on bone mass. The standard weight of a Corgi is 27 pounds for male dogs and 25 pounds for female dogs. But in reality, especially racing dogs and many championship dogs, the weight is obviously lower than the standard, because this can better reflect the inherent characteristics of the Corgi.

2. The front page. It is not comprehensive to judge a good dog purely by the front page.

3. Coat color is even more confusing. Everyone in the industry knows that the so-called big scarf is not the standard for a good dog at all. The three-color Corgi and the ordinary red and white Corgi are not the standard for a good dog. , of course some people will like three colors, but there are also many pet friends who like red and white Corgis. This is just a matter of personal preference.

Therefore, the Corgi standards circulated in the public are very misleading, and there are also some special factors. For example, a good male dog does not mean that he is a good breeding male, and a good breeding female dog is better than an ordinary good female dog. It's a completely different standard. I would like to share some of my own opinions. I think the most important factor in the Corgi’s high quality is balance, which means that the overall backbone and head shape must be in proportion. The weight of a domestic Corgi for an adult male is about 23 to 26 pounds. Female dogs should be around 20-23 pounds. As for choosing puppies, for high-priced dogs like Corgis, it is best to choose breeds with good pedigrees. In fact, there are many good imported breeds with high quality in China.
