The Duke Buttoned His Velvet Coat and Gave Us the Biggest Corgi Smile
The duke has arrived in his finest velvet, and he is delighted to see you. A red and white Corgi sits with those big ears standing straight up like satellite dishes and a wide, happy grin on his face. His deep blue velvet coat is buttoned all the way up with round gold buttons, and a small lace cravat sits under his chin. A single candle flickers behind him, and the rich folds of the coat seem almost soft enough to touch. His chest fur is thick and snowy.
Corgis are cheerful, clever herding dogs, and they tend to be devoted to their families. They are famous for their lively energy and for their talent at herding anything, including children and ankles. Daily walks and training games are important to keep that active mind busy, and positive, consistent training works best. With their long backs, it is best to avoid too much jumping and to keep them at a healthy weight. They shed generously, so regular brushing helps. Your vet can offer advice on diet and care.
The duke's coat is undeniably elegant, but the star of this portrait is the smile. It is the face of a dog who thinks every visitor is a friend. If a duke has to rule over a vast estate, this one will do it with a wagging tail and an open door.
