Awww no livings for us mutts. Lol

The world has begun to love mutts more than purebreds. The truth is that all dogs can be amazing, pure or mongrel. However, these days people are okay bashing breeders and fanciers of purebreds- no joke, I've actually had total strangers yell at me because I'm buying my next dog, a purebred, instead of just getting some generic mutt from a shelter. They ignore all of the volunteering and donating I've done for shelters, all the YEARS of advocacy, and all of the services- I am a professional dog groomer and I used to offer my services FREE to shelter mutts so they could have a better chance at being adopted. Yet I get hate from people who have never done ANYTHING to help homeless animals because I choose a purebred for my next dog. Hell, they ignore the fact that my current dog is a shelter mutt!!!

So you'll pardon me when I call ABSOLUTE FUCKING BULLSHIT on the notion that people don't like mutts, lol. However, for this picture in my mind, I need purebreds only, thanks!!!

I'll have free art offers for non-breed-specific canines and for general characters at some point...but this is purely for Corgis and ONLY Corgis, thanks!

Oh I was only picking on you. Lol. My mom is a breeder not for making money but for showing since its her hobby. What she does sell the pups for that she can't use for the ring barly covers medical expense. My dog is one she has finished and now is pet with a championship to her name. I know the next dog I would like to be another pure breed but that's only cause I like the bred has nothing to do with not liking mutts. (Obviously by my character.)

I'm a wee bit concerned...this is for purebreds only, he's part Pom? :P

...you know what's REALLY stupid? It says he's part Pom so he can have more fluff in places, when there ARE Corgis who have extra-fluff (it's just considered a fault and thus those are not shown, but there are PLENTY of pet-quality Corgis with extra fluff) and his markings are in no way Pomeranian, there are plenty of Corgis with those markings, so I don't even know why the person made him a crossbred to begin with. :(

For example. Here's a sable-colored extra-fluffy but purebred Pembroke Corgi: http://s3.photobucket.com/user/Judy.....dited.jpg.html

I kind of wonder if the person did any Corgi research before making him a cross. ;)

I was about to enter my sona, and then I saw Abs here already did it!

Haha.


And to answer the description, I've dropped the pom from him as is reflected on my profile, but it hasn't been reflected on the refsheet since I figured I'd wait until I redid his sheet. If he's still not allowed to be entered, that's alright though.

But to comment on your assumptions, I did indeed do my research into Corgi fur types and as I've lived around many different types of corgis through my life, I am aware there's ones with extra fluff.
But I also loved pomeranians, and thought when I made my sona originally it would be nice to show some props to the pompoms out there, which get so little love. Adding the detail of him being extra fluffy, and backing it up with the pompom part was a nod to artists, to make sure they didn't draw him with short fur though. I've seen lots of work involving him where he looks like he has quarter inch long fur, because the artist assumed corgis were shortstacks all around! LOL

Either way, I don't consider this additional information to be stupid, although it seems you do.

Hey, if you renounce the Pom, he's in!!! :D

I don't see much Pom-love in the furry fandom, but I've groomed hoards of them over the years...they get plenty of love in the pet world, at least in my area. Especially after "Boo the cutest dog in the world" published a book and became internet famous. Ironically it was Boo that made me HATE Poms...they're neat little dogs but holy shit, everyone and their mother wants them shaved to look like Boo, yet 99% of pet-quality Poms don't have enough of a mane to have that perfectly round friggin' head. And then I look like the asshole when I can't make their shit-coated dog look like Boo.

My life as a groomer actually became more difficult because of Boo the shaved Pom. Kills a little bit of my soul, honestly. :P

Anyways! :D

As a dog professional and avid fancier of purebreds, I get really irked about how so many folk make mutt-sonas when the traits they're using can be found in purebreds. MAJOR pet peeve. And also hence why I wanna do this picture of purebreds only- it's become cool, even fashionable, to bash purebreds and fanciers of purebreds. :P

Pssst, here you go! :) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16005086/

I wish I still had the ref for the undead corgi I made a few years ago. I need to try and find him for this.

LOL find eeet. :)

The only one I found is without his stitches and his fly entourage! XD He's a rotten/rancid undead critter.

I'm off to find some free lines to color and get his stitches on! I also needs to see if I can't commission some ref sheet lines so I can do the coloring. -scuttles off to look for free lines- I'll be back to post another ref when I've gotten his stitches in place. :3

EXCELLENT, perfect timing as I was just about to ink him!!!! :D

Squee! -dances- I can't wait to see.

Midterms are killin' me this week...I probably won't finish inking/coloring til this weekend. :(

Pssst, here you go! :) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16005086/
