The Corgi Ship Captain Set His Tricorn Hat and Scanned the Horizon
A black tricorn hat with a gold edge sits at a confident angle on this Corgi's head, and the tricolor face below it has a white blaze, a tan mask and big upright ears. A white cravat is tucked at the throat, and the navy coat is covered in gold embroidery. The background is a green damask wall. Captain Muffin does not look at the viewer so much as through them, as though scanning for storms. The hat is a little large, but the confidence is much larger.
Corgis were bred in Wales to herd cattle, and they are known for being smart, active and very vocal. The tricolor coat of black, tan and white is common in Pembroke Corgis, though coat colors vary. Corgis tend to have a lot of energy and need daily exercise and mental games to stay out of mischief. They shed a lot, so regular brushing is helpful, especially in spring and fall. Because of their long backs and short legs, keep them lean and avoid high jumps. Ask your vet about portions and exercise. Many Corgis enjoy herding games and training, and they quickly learn who is in charge of the snacks.
A ship's captain needs a sharp eye and a loud voice. This one has both, and a tail that wags at the right moment, which is the true sign of leadership.
