I don't think it's ironic at all, a dog can have a great coat and still not be of the correct structure. For a show dog the structure comes first, coat and markings are "cosmetic".

And in reailty there are not "show markings". There are limits as to how much, but not any markings that are considered to be correct for showing.

Oh, and a shiny coat is good, but a corgis coat should not be "soft". A correct coat has a harsh texture, not a soft one. So his coat is not quite correct. Right length but not texture.
