Worgi

Worgi History

The Worgi is a designer hybrid, or mixed-breed, dog that was developed by crossing a Labradoodle with a Miniature Pinscher. The origin of this mixed-breed is over 20 years old, when in 1997 a breeder from Sydney, Australia, achieved the cross. The popularity of this cross began to grow quickly, and in 2000, the American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized the Worgi as a purebred. The AKC currently registers the Worgi as a “cross” rather than a “purebred”.

Worgi Temperament and Behaviour

The Worgi is a very outgoing and independent dog that can sometimes be stubborn. They are very intelligent and can learn quickly, but they can also be difficult to house train.

A cross between the Pug and the Boston Terrier, the Worgi is a small, compact dog that is easy to train and eager to please.

A daily walk or jog is a great way to start the day. A trip to the dog park is also a great way to spend an afternoon. While a Worgi can be a good choice for first-time dog owners, they are best suited to a home with older children. They are small, but they can be stubborn and may challenge more dominant children.
