There are two kinds of corky. Generally, we see pembroke and Welsh Corgi (this is what we will talk about next), and the other is Cuddy and Corgi (later if you are interested). Find out what kind of Keji you like first, because although both Keji are called Keji, their personalities and appearance colors are completely different.
To put it simply, pembroke is more in line with the aesthetics of China people? Cuter? Hair loss, relatively cheap, a little noisy personality. Cuddy's heel is bigger, she doesn't like to lose her hair, and her personality is more stable, but her appearance doesn't conform to the aesthetics of Chinese people? Not cute? (It's cute, actually), and it's more expensive.
2. What color do you like?
There are so many color combinations in pembroke Keji that we often hear such words: yellow and white, yellow head, black head, mink, cream, black and white.
Yellow and white: the most likely coat color in genes, the most common, yellow and white, nothing to say.
Yellow head and three colors: the head is mainly yellow. Adult dogs look like wearing a black vest, and their limbs are yellow. There is a black line from the corner of their eyes to their ears, but puppies look darker because of incomplete molting.
Blackhead tricolor: the head is mainly black, which has an obvious feature. Two thick yellow eyes are the same as small eyebrows. Blackhead tricolor Most of the black hair on the legs after adulthood is irreversible. Distinguish between yellow head and tricolor.
Sable color: there are two-color mink and three-color mink, which are actually three-color, but there is less black hair.
Cream color: light yellow, not white. Cream color is not a color classification, but the yellow hair on the base is lighter.
Black and white: In fact, there are only a few yellow hairs, which are not really black and white.
But these are actually folk sayings. Although they are also correct, the more academic and formal description of coat color is as follows:
Concern 1: The younger you are, the less you can see the coat color. You are almost always black when you are born, and the details of Corky's coat color will change slowly.
Key point 2: Nothing is more expensive than this. It's all the same, depending on your preferences and looks.
Point 3: Hairless color has obvious characteristics of large weight, and the weight depends on appearance and feeding.
Point 4: If the color is a little unqualified, it means that this small gene is defective and has invisible disease genes. What exactly is disqualification? I'll talk about this later.
3. What personality do you like? Every puppy has a different personality. It makes a big difference whether you like quiet or lively. But the younger you are, the harder it is to see their personalities. Even Keji, who has a particularly different personality, still has some annoying habits (such as yelling at the door), which depends on future training. So how do you roughly distinguish the dog's personality when you meet for the first time?
There is a way to try. Pick up the dog, then sit down and turn it over to you. Abdomen up, back against abdomen. Observe the reaction of the puppy in this posture, whether to turn over immediately, or turn over later, or not to turn over by yourself.
Turn it over at once: the wolf's character is not easy to tame, and it will have its own ideas and possessiveness.
I waited for a while to turn it over: the thinker's personality will judge the situation, and this kind of dog will be smarter or more naughty. I don't take the initiative to translate: a tame dog, although occasionally naughty, is easy to manage.
Focus 1: The smaller it is, the harder it is to distinguish. It is best to observe its character for two and a half months to three months.
Point 2: Personality will change after tomorrow because of some things, such as being brave and becoming timid, which are related to the socialization of dogs and owners.
4. Do you want the offspring of the competition or ordinary pets?
Generally speaking, there are two demands for raising dogs, most of which are to find a partner like family, and some people hope that their dogs can appear in the dog-raising industry and get some honors. If you are the second kind of person, you need to find a dog with birth certificate or pedigree certificate. The parents and grandparents of these dogs can trace back, and they can study the health genes and performance of their ancestors. These dogs will also be more expensive. If it is the first person, it doesn't matter whether the birth certificate or the pedigree certificate. Just find a Corky you like, keep a pet at home, and don't expect training and competition.
Focus 1: Single pedigree and non-pedigree are the same, both are pet-grade, and double pedigree is the real purebred dog.
5. What do you mean by unqualified dogs?
Are the prices the same? To disqualify is to lose the qualification of competition (physical competition). Why did you lose your qualification? Because unqualified dogs don't meet the breed standards.
Why should it meet the standards of dog breeds? Because the standard is to determine whether the dog is a known healthy genetic inheritance. Why should we judge whether it is a known healthy genetic inheritance? Because only in this way can dog breeds develop healthily.
Then what is disqualification? Anyone who does not meet Ke Jiquan's standards will be disqualified. Disqualification is a genetic mutation of purebred dogs, not a string. Give a few common disqualifications: blue eyes, white ears, pirate face, white hair on the back (over the shoulder), cryptorchidism, disproportionate bones, etc. The most common is the unqualified color. The general standard is this. You can refer to it: white can't appear outside the nose line, corners of the mouth, top of the head, neck, stomach, legs and tail tip (you can't see the broken tail), otherwise you will be disqualified.
So if there are unqualified dogs, what is the general practice of regular kennels? Sign a sterilization agreement and sell it at a low price. Why not recommend unqualified dogs to breed? See the main reasons in this article.
6. Are the three links a good standard for Keji?
Three links is a concept hyped by dog dealers in China. Whether there is white on Keji's head does not constitute a judgment of good or bad appearance, but the less white it is, the less likely it is to be disqualified. There are dozens of Kejiquan of the Queen of England, only one of which conforms to the aesthetics of China dog dealers, and the others are not three links. Many champion dogs on the field don't have so-called three links, so the price of three links will be high? These are all concepts hyped by dog dealers. A really good cork depends on the size and proportion of the skeleton.
