Breed Information
Overview
The Dorgi is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Dachshund. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and understand that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed. This designer breed is recognized by ACHC (American Canine Hybrid Club).
The Dorgi is a cross between a Dachshund and a Corgi. Their appearance may vary slightly depending on which of their parents they take after more, but Dorgis tend to be social, friendly, energetic, intelligent, and loving dogs that make a great family pet. Although their precise origins are unknown, we do have a few “origin stories” about the Dorgi.
Queen Elizabeth II is one of the most prominent Corgi supporters, but did you know Her Royal Highness is also fond of Dorgis? As the story goes, one of the Queen’s Corgis mated with Princess Margaret’s Dachshund, and a littler of Dorgis was born. After that, more Dorgis were bred and the designer breed started to catch on across the world.
Although they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by other notable dog organizations. The Designer Breed Registry, American Canine Hybrid Club, Designer Dogs Kennel Club, and more all recognize the Dorgi.
Temperament
Along with their adorable features, Dorgis also have great personalities. They are affectionate dogs that are devoted to their families, loyal to them, and bond closely with them. They are happiest being close to their favorite humans and getting attention from them.
These energetic dogs are playful, social, and friendly. They love having someone to play with and also tend to get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets. Although they are open and friendly, they will still bark to alert you of strangers, people, animals, etc. near your home. If left untrained or unmanaged, it can result in barking that becomes a nuisance.
