19×24 colored pencil. Original unavailable. The Welsh Corgi is a small breed of dog that originated in Wales. They are believed to be descended from Swedish Vallhund dogs that came to Wales with the Vikings. Cor gi means “dwarf dog” in Welsh (and the OED gives the Welsh plural corgwn as an alternative to corgis). An average Welsh Corgi is around 10 to 12 in (25 to 30 cm) tall at the tallest point in the shoulders and weighs approximately 30 lb (15 kg). Originally bred for herding sheep and cattle, Corgis are active dogs, and considered very intelligent. They have proven themselves excellent companion animals and are outstanding competitors in sheepdog trials and agility trials. Welsh Corgis are generally recognized as two distinct breeds: the Cardigan and the Pembroke. Beginning in 1934, the American Kennel Club recognized them as separate breeds. The Cardigan is the larger of the two, with larger rounded ears and a foxy, flowing tail. The Pembroke features rounded, pointed ears and is somewhat smaller in stature. Historically, the Pembroke was a breed with a natural bob tail (very short tail). Due to the advent of docking, the trait was not aggressively pursued, with breeders focusing instead on other characteristics, and the tail artificially shortened if need be. Given that some countries are now banning docking, breeders are again attempting to select for dogs with the genes for natural bob tails. The coats of both breeds come in a variety of colors, although there are some differences between the breeds. The Pembroke remains the more common variety. Outside Wales, the breed has been made popular by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, who keeps at least four at all times. Corgis make wonderful companions. HealthBoth the Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh Corgi are among the healthiest and longest lived dogs in the Herding Group. The Cardigan tends to be a little hardier and has fewer documented hereditary health issues; among them are canine hip dysplasia, canine degenerative myelopathy and progressive retinal atrophy. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are susceptible to intervertebral disc disease, canine hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy and epilepsy. Welsh Corgi owners should have their dogs’ eyes and hips tested by a veterinarian before breeding. Cardigan Welsh Corgis typically live between 12 and 14 years, and Pembroke Welsh Corgis typically live between 11 and 13 years. (information from Wikipedia) Complete 1997

www.imagecreative.nl Model: Manon / Dogmodel: TJ / Styling by me I have trained my Welsh Corgi Pembroke TJ to be a photo model. You see him a lot in my work, he is kind of a trademark. He is a very funny and naughty Corgi. The only time he will stay and listen is when I take a photo ;-)
Meet Surprise our 10 year old Corgi. She goes everywhere I go. She does not like to swim but she is the best lifeguard. Surprise enjoys watching me get my chi on….. / canon A530 /
Otis, our 2 year old Corgi, gives me this look all the time. He’s trying to telepathically tell me something. If I don’t pick up on his thoughts, he gives me a little MMMMMM throaty sound. Sooner or later he gets / what he wants, then contently lays down next to my chair and keeps me company as I create on the computer.
Chester, our Pembroke Corgi. And yes he has a tail as it’s illegal to dock in Australia so he may look strange but he’s purebred, registered and the son of two champions. He’s also the naughtiest little thing on the planet! :)
Just trying out a certain look. / Corgi puppy. / Feedback welcome. More dogs, horses and pets here
This corgi has a tail. ...His best friend is the Chihuahua.
a painting of queen elizabeth when she got her first corgi by morgan fitzsimons / Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary;[N 1] born 21 April 1926) is the queen regnant of sixteen independent states known as the Commonwealth realms: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. All together, these countries have a combined population, including dependencies, of over 129 million, with their territory extending over every continent, and make Elizabeth currently the only monarch of more than one independent state. She holds each crown separately and equally in a shared monarchy, and carries out duties in and on behalf of all the states of which she is sovereign. Elizabeth is also Head of the Commonwealth, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Duke of Normandy, Lord of Mann, and Paramount Chief of Fiji. In theory her powers are vast; however, in practice, and in accordance with convention, she rarely intervenes in political matters.
My favorite Model, all you need to pay him is attention. Chiaroscuro (Italian for light-dark) is a term in art for a contrast between light and dark. The term is usually applied to bold contrasts affecting a whole composition, but is also more technically used by artists and art historians for the use of effects representing contrasts of light, not necessarily strong, to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects such as the human body.

More from Chester the Corgi. It’s very tiring being a dog. All that chasing your tail, running in the opposite direction when called, eating, chasing the cat, eating some more, barking at butterflies, eating… and that’s just the morning!
