Heather, I had been following your questions and rising excitement and am so sorry to read about your disappointment. I knew about the litter and problems from the Corgi-L listserve, but didn't realize you were on the wait list until I read your post.
I think that Glencorgi offered sage advice when she said it was too early to tell about dominance or show potential. I started another thread about puppy temperment vs mature dog temperment because Owen was dominent in his litter and our first vet told me that he was very dominent (she seemed nervous around him), and yet he is and has always been very laid back for a puppy. More experienced corgi people can correct me, but I think you have to consider the dam and sire's temperments as well to get an idea about the overall outcome.
As for color--it sounds like you have very strong preferences and maybe you should go with them. I did have a preference for tri-colored pemmies, but the puppy that was right for us was a red and white. However, my coat preference was not all that strong--I thought they were all great.
We also had a disappointment in our puppy search last summer, but we had a happy ending in September when we got Owen! Good luck to you and let us know what is happening
Cathryn
