哥基犬
簡介
威爾斯哥基犬平均肩高大約25至30厘米、重約15公斤,原本培養來放牧牛羊,低矮的身材讓他們免於被牛隻踢到。哥基犬是主動的犬只並且相當的聰明,是絕佳的夥伴動物,並且在牧羊競賽跟犬只敏捷競賽中是出色的參賽者。
威爾斯哥基犬通常分成兩個品種:“卡提根”威爾斯哥基(ardigan Welsh Corgi)跟“潘布魯克”威爾斯柯基。1934年起美國育犬協會承認他們為不同的品種。卡提根是兩種中較大的、有著較大的圓耳跟狐狸般下垂的尾巴;潘布魯克的特徵則是較圓的耳朵跟較小的身材。潘布魯克的尾巴傳統上是斷尾成平貼的兔尾巴,讓他們看起來像無尾。兩種的毛色皆非常多樣,但在品種間仍有一些差別。
這也是在日升社動畫星際牛仔出現的天才犬Ein(名字典故是愛因斯坦)的品種。
