If I might offer some constructive criticism?
Honestly, to me, this head doesn't read "corgi" at all. The muzzle is too broad, reads as "husky". Corgi's muzzles are slim, and very pointed. Think like a fox's muzzle. The face, especially in Pembroke corgis, are very fox-like in build with a very fluffy set of cheeks. Corgis have a riff under the lower jaw that puffs out, making their muzzle look like it's higher in the skull than it actually is.
The ears don't look large enough or pointy enough, nor set high enough on the head to be a corgi. It might be the black fur making them look smaller, or the ear fluff obscures part of them, I'm not sure. Corgi's carry their ears relatively high on their heads, and their ears are fox-like and pointed, except for Cardigan corgis, which have a rounder ear.
The whole head looks like a husky or generic canine. There's little here that says "corgi."
However, I will compliment you on the very smooth carving job and the excellent furring of the head, Both are smooth and look professional. The eyes, while a little close-set for my tastes, are well done and the follow-me effect is superb. It is a very well-made head, regardless of what species you were going for. I would recommend next time to have more ref images.
BTW, if you ever need corgi references, feel free to let me know, as I own them, as well as having a corgi character myself. I can provide you with references for just about every life stage. :)

He is a cardigan; if that clears up any confusion lol. And the way i originally planned this head; his ears weren't supposed to be atop his head and carried high; more slanted. Also; i wanted to emphasize that this was a male suit, so i re framed from thinning out the muzzle. I tried sculpting in my style of 'cartoon' rather than realistic.. and i used the cardigan's breed standards which i have at hand. like; if i added a thinner muzzle more people would end up saying its a fox. its a dog.. and dogs generally have thicker muzzles so when they see it; they'll also think 'dog' before anything else. then probably husky; but oh well. Most people aren't dog people and know nothing.
I do feel however that i made the muzzle way too long.. you cant really see that here; but in person its really noticeable. :(
And a corgi's a very hard breed to reproduce with having it look exact. since they already look like the overused foxes and wolves we see all the time. And hey.. i mean; if you look at most suits on here.. especially the toony wolf ones.. theres sooooo much that we could say they got anatomically incorrect. but thats what i feel makes the suit toony and stylized. Not every roo looks like a roo. Not every goat looks like a goat. ( i get 'cow' on my goat suit all the time, haha. )
But in the future if i ever re-do this, ( which i probably wont.. i'll just trade or commission next time. DX fursuit making isnt my thing. ) i'll look back and think about what i can tweak. Thanks for your comment :)
