Corgi Portrait Ornament from Your Photo

The Corgi coat

Corgis have a thick, weather-resistant double coat of medium length, and they shed impressively. Pembrokes are most often red, sable, fawn or black-headed tricolour with white on the chest, legs and face, and often a white collar. Cardigans also come in brindle and blue merle and have a long tail. Both have the big upright ears, the fox-like face and the short legs that make a corgi recognisable from across a park, and the white blaze differs on every dog.

How we handle a Corgi's coat

Our checker scores ear set and muzzle shape separately, so the large, upright ears stay large and the fox face stays fox-like. Markings are compared with your photo, which for corgis means the white blaze and collar, and for sable corgis the darker tipping across the back and head. Blue merle Cardigans are checked for pattern placement.

Which style suits a Corgi

Renaissance royal is almost a requirement for a corgi, a breed long associated with the British royal family. The PawRegal mascot is a corgi in a crown for a reason. Watercolor suits red and sable coats. Line art captures the ears. You see all 4 styles (Renaissance royal, watercolor, minimal line art, festive) on your own pet before choosing.

Common Corgi portrait mistakes

Common corgi portrait mistakes: ears drawn too small or rounded, a sable coat painted as plain red, and a white collar that disappears. Fluffy corgis, those with a long coat, often get their fluff trimmed by generic portraits; if your corgi is a fluffy, the portrait keeps the fluff. The famous corgi smile is kept when it is in your photo.

Photographing your Corgi

Corgis are expressive and food-motivated, which helps. Get down low, hold a treat above the lens for ears-up attention, and photograph in soft daylight so red coats keep their colour. More tips in our guide to photographing your pet for a portrait.

A Corgi portrait as a gift

Corgi owners tend to embrace the royal joke, which makes the Renaissance ornament ($27.99) a safe bet. The canvas ($69.99) suits a corgi with a big personality.
