Toy Poodle and Corgi Mix-breed (Corgipoo)_ Info, Temperament, Training and Health

The Korgapoo dog is a cross between the corgi and the toy poodle. This dog falls under the category of herding dogs, however, they were not bred for this purpose.

Korgi Toy Poodle Mix Appearance Although the Korgipoo is a petite dog, they are strong, sturdy dogs that have short legs. Depending on how much they inherit from their parents will depend on their appearance, and it is not unusual for a number of Korgipoos from the same litter to look totally different from one another. The average Korgipoo is small and weighs on average between 12 to 27 pounds and measures 10 to 12 inches in height. Both the females and males will weight around the same with the adjustment of a few pounds lighter or heavier. Coat of the Korgipoo The coat of this mixed breed is very different and unique from other dog breeds. The coat can either come in long or short, but most likely, the coat will be very curly. The Welsh Korgi has a naturally thick double coat, and when it is combined with the poodle's very curly coat, this outcome is usually a very curly, thick double coat dog. Their coats have no typical color, and they can range in colors that include sable, brindle, black, red, white, or even blue merle. If they do not suffer from any hereditary disease or illness, their average life expectancy is between 12 to 14 years. Korgi Toy Poodle Mix Health Problems The Korgipoo is generally a healthy mixed breed dog, but in some cases, like with all hybrid dogs, they can inherit health conditions from their parents. Typical health conditions that your dog could inherit from its parents include PRA, ear infections due to wax-filled up skin conditions, epilepsy, bloat, patellar lixation and glaucoma. Just remember to take your dog to regular checkups with your veterinarian to make sure your dog is okay. Your vet will closely watch to see if your dog ever develops one of these health conditions. Korgipoo Temperament The Korgipoo is a very intelligent dog, just like the poodle, which makes the breed easy to teach them to be obedient and perform tricks. These are playful dogs that like a lot of attention, and often they do not do well with other dogs because they want to be the center of attention. Despite their mischievous and playful side, the Korgipoo is an excellent family dog and loves children and older people. They will often show off their tricks to receive your praise. They will try to test you and see what they can get away with, and at times your patience will be tried. They need attention and consistent training, and if they get this, your dog will remain happy and a loyal companion. Korgi Toy Poodle Mix Grooming The Korgipoo is a low-shedding dog. Therefore, unlike the poodle, it does not require frequent visits to the grooming parlor. If your Korgipoo has a curlier coat like its poodle parent, it will need daily brushing with a fine bristle comb to keep its fur tangle-free. Because they are prone to having a buildup of wax in their ears, it's necessary to check and clean the Korgipoo's ears with a damp towel to avoid infection. Korgipoo Exercise Due to their size, they do not need a huge amount of exercise, and active playtime is sufficient. It is, however, recommended to take your dog out at least once a day to stretch its legs and change its surroundings. Your Korgipoo will require more mental stimulation rather than physical stimulation, and this can be done with various games and toys. This breed still needs between 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day. You can achieve this goal in many ways through walks and playtime. Korgi Toy Poodle Mix Feeding This mixed breed is in the medium-sized breed category, and it will need around one cup of high-quality dog food for the entire day. The food will need to be broken up into three to four smaller meals. This will help reduce the risk of obesity and other health concerns such as bloat. Depending on the quality of the small breed dog food, it could cost between $0.90 to $1.10 a day to feed your dog. Korgi Toy Poodle Mix Training Dog training with your Korgipoo needs to be fair and consistent. Because of their energetic and playful side, it is recommended to take your Korgipoo to a professional dog trainer. Remember, when you are training your dog, you should always reward positive behavior with lots of praise, love, and of course, treats. Early socialization is another essential component when training your new Korgipoo. This helps curb behaviors like aggression and promotes healthy socialization with other people, children, and even pets. Also, remember when your dog is a puppy, you should keep your training session short to limit distractions. This will help them learn when they need to know in short bursts.
