The coat color of Corgis is mainly two-color and three-color. The back is mostly yellow or black, and the color on the back is darker and gradually changes to light or white around it.

 1. Two-color Corgi

Most of the two colors are yellow and white. According to the depth of the coat and the main color of the head, it will be further subdivided into light yellowish brown white, yellowish white, dark yellowish white, etc.

 2. Three-color Corgi

Tri-color Corgis are mostly black, yellow and white, and can be further divided into black-headed tri-colors and yellow-headed tri-colors.

 3. White distribution

Regardless of whether it is a two-color Corgi or a three-color Corgi, the color on the back can only be one and cannot have different colors (except for Blue Meteor). Blue merle (a mixture of black, gray, and marble is blue merle) with brown or spots is acceptable.

Tongtian (nose line): refers to the white strip in the center of the Corgi's head, preferably in the middle, straight and of moderate width. It’s not particularly good if it’s too wide, too thin, or if there’s a connection in the middle.

Neck gaiter: The white fur that appears around the neck is usually called a gaiter. A good scarf runs through the neck and is evenly distributed, but it can only be distributed on the neck and shoulders. If the white hair on the chest exceeds the shoulders, it will be disqualified. The scarf is optional and not very important.

White limbs: Corgi’s four feet are white, the white of the front feet does not cover the shoulder joints, and the white of the hind feet does not cover the knee joints. If the white of the hind foot is above the knee, the athlete will be disqualified.

Overall: Corgi has white distribution on its legs, chest, muzzle, lower body, tip of tail, and head. The white color of the head must not be dominant and must not surround the eyes.

 4. Disqualification

Anyone whose body is predominantly white is disqualified.

A variety of coat colors on the back are messy and inconsistent. Any color other than the allowed colors of yellow, sable, light yellow, black, and tawny will also be disqualified.

Long hair, fluffy hair, cryptorchidism, and obvious white hair on the ears will be disqualified. However, the lanugo hair of newborn corgis will appear gray, which is normal.
