Very Serious Faults

Very Serious Faults in Color:

Whitelies are those dogs with a body color of white with red, black, or sable markings. 

A whitely is a very serious color fault for the show ring. Whitelies should not be bred. No different in personality from a Corgi with proper markings, they make excellent pets.

Mismarks: Self colors with any area of white on back between withers and tail, on sides between elbows and back of hindquarters, or on ears. Black with white markings and no tan present. 

A mismark is a very serious color fault in the Pembroke Welsh Corgi for the show ring. There should be no white above an imaginary horizontal line drawn from the elbow through the stifle joint. White should not extend far into the upper arm and shoulder blade areas, nor should it appear on the thigh as other than a narrow stifle trim. Some red or tan, however pale, must appear on a white-marked black dog. Mismarks should not be bred. No different in personality from a Corgi with proper markings, they make excellent pets.

Bluies: Colored portion of the coat have a distinct bluish or smokey cast. This coloring is associated with extremely light or blue eyes and liver or gray eye rims, nose and lip pigment. 

The "bluie" Pembroke Welsh Corgi can occur in any color (red, sable or tricolor). It is easiest to see in the tricolor, as the areas on the coat that are normally black take on a decided gunmetal blue hue. The red and sable bluies have a smoky cast to the red coloring. The photos below depict several bluies. Bluies should not be bred. No different in personality from a Pembroke of normal coloration, they make excellent pets.

Coat

Medium length; short, thick, weather-resistant undercoat with a coarser, longer outer coat. Over-all length varies, with slightly thicker and longer ruff around neck, chest and on the shoulders. The body coat lies flat. Hair is slightly longer on back of forelegs and underparts, and somewhat fuller and longer on rear of hindquarters. The coat is preferably straight, but some waviness is permitted.

Very Serious Faults in Coat:

Fluffies: A coat of extreme length with exaggerated feathering on ears, chest, legs and feet, underparts and hindquarters.
