Dog Breed Profile

Corgipoo History

The Corgi Poo is a hybrid, or designer, breed of canine that was developed by crossing the Cocker Spaniel and the Welsh Corgi. The hybrid is commonly referred to as a “Corgi-Poodle”, “Pedi-Corg”, or “Many-Poo”. The origin of the term “Corgi Poo” is unclear. Some believe that the name originate out of confusion between the “puppy” and “toy” versions of the Welsh corgis. Others believe that the name is a reference to the fact that there are typically more puppies than adults in a litter. While the Corgi Poo is generally considered a novelty or “designer” dog, some breeders claim that the hybrid possesses some of the qualities that its forebears are known for, such as athleticism, intelligence, and affection. The parent-hybrids of the Corgi Poo are recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC), the Designer Breed Registry (DBR), and the AKC.

Corgipoo Activity Requirements

The Corgipoo is a cross between the Welsh Corgi and Poodle. While they may look like they have a lot of energy, they actually don’t require much. In fact, they are content to spend most of their day lounging around. While they may be the most laid-back dog on this list, that doesn’t mean they don’t need to be walked. A daily walk around the block or some playtime in the backyard will help keep them in shape, and they will enjoy interacting with you. Because they require minimal exercise and grooming, they are a good choice for people who live in small apartments or in homes with limited space. They are also a good choice for older adults or people with mobility issues who are unable to take their dogs for a long walk.
