Pembroke Welsh Corgis are known for their striking coat colors, which can vary from

Red and white, Sable, Fawn, to tri-color combinations of a Red headed or Black headed corgis. From the moment they are born their coats often begin with a subtle shade of brown, which then slowly transitions and develops into the vibrant hues that characterize the breed.
