Corgidor Temperament and Behaviour

The Corgidor is an energetic, playful and fun-loving small breed of dog. They are curious and active, and they love to play and run around. They are generally good-natured and easy to train, although they do have an independent streak. They do well with other dogs and cats, and are loyal to their owners.

Corgidor Activity Requirements

Corgidors are a fairly new hybrid dog, created by crossing a Pembroke Welsh Corgi with a Dachshund. They are a medium-sized, short-legged, long-bodied, and fluffy dog. They are born with a fox-like face and a long, low body. Their ears flop over their head, giving them a very unique look. Both of the parent breeds were originally used for herding cattle, so they have very strong instincts. They tend to have strong prey drives, so they should be supervised around small animals. They are loyal, intelligent, and protective of their families, making them great guard dogs. Because they were bred for herding, they are very full of energy. They require lots of physical and mental stimulation. They will want to herd everything, from other animals to small children. They require a lot of exercise and attention, so they are not a good choice for homes with young children.
