Corgi Pit History
The Corgi Pit is a cross between the Maltese and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. The Corgi Pit is a hybrid, or designer, breed that was developed by crossing the Miniature or Teacup Maltese and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. The Maltese and Welsh corgis are both medium-size herding dogs and both were developed in the United Kingdom, so it is not surprising that these two distinct breeds would naturally produce offspring. There are a variety of crosses between these breeds, such as the Cardigan/Maltese, the Cardigan/Corgi, the Llewellin/Maltese, and the Llewellin/Corgi, to name a few. The origin of the name “Corgi Pit” is uncertain, but it is likely that this name refers to the size and shape of the dogs’ heads. Some believe that “corgi” is a mispronunciation of “collie”, while others believe that the name is a reference to the shape of a cow’s stomach. The Corgi Pit is an intelligent, loyal, and affectionate pet. The dogs are devoted to their family members and enjoy spending time with them. The lively little pups are playful, energetic, and fun. The puppies are curious, easy to train, and eager to please. The dogs are small, gentle, and tolerant toward children. The tiny pups have big personalities, and they often get along well with other dogs and pets.

Corgi Pit Activity Requirements
The Corgi Pit is a hybrid dog that results from breeding a Welsh Corgi with a Miniature American Pit Bull Terrier. These dogs are intelligent, loyal, and playful, and make great family companions. The level of activity that is ideal for your Corgi Pit will depend on his size and age. In general, younger dogs will need more exercise and attention than older dogs. A good rule of thumb is one hour of aerobic exercise each day and 15 minutes of strength training. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small but sturdy dog that was originally bred as a herding dog. The Pit Bull Terrier is an energetic, athletic dog, so it’s no surprise that the hybrid offspring is an intelligent, active animal.
