Corgi is a beautiful breed originally from the United Kingdom. The always friendly face, docile nature and some similarity with the terriers because of the short legs made these dogs among the favorites among the breeders.
Breed history
It is very difficult to determine the exact date when these mestizas arose, but many believe that these dogs were among humans for many centuries. There are a lot of variants of origin - from mythical to historical. Translated from the Welsh, the breed means "dwarf dog." Almost always, these dogs lived only on English soil, but at the end of the XIX century, when dogs began to be brought to other lands, metorgas corgi were officially recognized, allowed them to exhibitions and competitions.
Now "chanterelles" are gaining popularity in the American territories in Europe and are clearly planning to conquer the whole world.
The nature of dogs
Dog metisy always get good-natured and faithful. They take the best traits from both parents and become “ideal dogs” - quick-witted, funny, protecting the owner and his family. They are characterized by innate intelligence and appeasability. With strangers are not hostile, but not particularly open.
This dog is ideal for busy people: it does not beg for games and attention, it can easily do without a society of owners for a long time, while it is not shy.
Metisy corgi perfectly get along with other pets living with them under the same roof. They perfectly adapt to different climates and can live both outside the city and in the “stone jungle”.
Despite its small size, the dog eats well and is even inclined to corpulence. You should always control the amount of food consumed by a pet, and not react when the dog “begges” for delicacies.
Corgi are very compassionate, catch even the most subtle notes of the mood of the owners and always try to support, if you are disposed towards it. If not, they will not be imposed, but will “survive the storm”, and will approach only when they feel that you really want it.
Corgi half-breeds are quiet dogs, they rarely bark, more often just by howling.
They do not cause unnecessary trouble, but they make the lives of breeders much happier.
Varieties of hybrids
Dogs are often compared to fox with a little fox - a tiny fox of unusual appearance. But not because of the ears, but because of the muzzle and the expression on it. Metis are very beautiful, their ears are standing, their eyes give intelligence, and the nose is black and wet. They do not grow more than 30-35 cm. Welsh corgi is distinguished - welsh corgi cardigan and welsh corgi pembroke. Cardigans are larger and quieter, and pembrokes are very mobile and energetic.
Metis, regardless of who the mix is with, are obtained with a short undercoat and a different coat color. Because of hybrids, you can most often meet tricolor and other extraordinary color variations.
Corgi and Husky
With such a cross, the dog has short legs, therefore, a small height. The size of the head remains the same as the structure of the body. From husky acquired color and shape of the ears. The tail will be the same, in the form of a sword, and the wool is also inherited from the husky. Emotionally, these dogs will be tied to their owners, obedient and faithful. They are very courageous and mobile, but at the same time reserved in character.
These mestizas are very beautiful because the husky are one of the parents.
Corgi and Dachshund
Queen Elizabeth II wanted to cross these two dogs in order to get a “designer novelty”. It turned out very unusual half-breeds that grow more in length, like dachshunds, with erect ears and a light color like corgi.The dogs turned out with a very bold, not afraid character, ready for trials and adventures. They require movement and simply refuse to sit still. Raising them is not the easiest thing, and you need to start from the moment they are puppies in order to have credibility in their eyes. They perform well in hunting and shepherding.
Corgi and Sheepdog
Such a cross brings the dogs closer to the sheepdog, increasing the resulting mestizo in size, but still it seems as if “not reaching out” to the full size of the sheepdogs. This breed absorbs all the best features of the sheepdogs, and many consider these mestizos the smartest of all the other hybrids.
Corgi and Spitz
These cuties are made of corgi with spitz. Like fluffy chanterelles, they have the same cute friendly character, they are inherent in playfulness and curiosity. They have well-developed guard instincts and a sense of responsibility for the security of the hosts.
The ears of the mestizos stand, the tail turns out, like that of Spitz, and the amount of the well-known “Pomeranian fluffiness” depends on which side of the mestizo will have a bias at birth.
Corgi and Chihuahua
Even smaller mestizo from already small parents. The dog can be long or short hair with a nice smoothness. The legs will be from corgi, and far from being timid in nature from the Mexican parent. They are very selective in taste, and there may be many problems with food, as the dog will give up a lot. These are very brave mestizos, often rushing into battle without good reason.
But with the owners are always nice and docile. Many people dislike the character of the Chihuahua for some pomp and pretentiousness, but their mixed puppies are not as daring as their parents, and in this they take more from the corgi.
Now it is much more popular to start a mixture, and not pure breed dogs. It is considered fashionable and exotic. However, remember that corgi are not simple mestizos, their parents are terriers of all possible species, and it is not recommended to take crossbreeding options with husky and shepherd dogs, unless you are ready to pay particular attention to the health of the resulting puppies. They often get sick and have various medical "moments" that can never be ignored if you want to have a healthy pet.
You can not mix the corgi with terriers, and you should not buy such dogs. So the mestizos are not cultivating as a breed, but seem to be going backwards in a very unhealthy way (remember, who has the corgi parents).
Always buy a future friend from real, experienced breeders, be sure to ask for documents, learn everything about the puppy's parents. It doesn't matter if the parent is a purebred breed or a mongrel, it is important for you to know everything related to what kind of half-breed you have turned out to ensure proper care and nutrition.
Whichever cross you prefer, You will get a faithful friend who makes your life bigger and brighter.
