9. Corgi Pom (Pomeranian + Corgi)
One of the most common Corgi mixes is the Corgi Pom, considering both the pups’ pint-sized nature. This makes an easy match for crossbreeding, eventually having the energetic side of the Corgi, while the Pomeranian brings all the yaps.
This breed guarantees you a long life for your pup, but it also comes with endless barking, so if you’re quite sensitive to noise, you’ll probably wanna sit this one out.

Even if there’s no guarantee of being a completely hypoallergenic dog, the Corgipoo will likely be much easier on your allergies than the rest of the Corgi mixes on this list. This combination’s color can be a little hard to predict as it will take any color from his Poodle and Corgi parents. The Corgipoo inhibits a balance of enthusiasm and calmness, thus perfect for a family dog.

12. Corgoyed (Samoyed + Corgi)
This Corgi mix is best as a pet for places with cold climates, as its fur is not only for fluffiness but also to keep itself warm. His Samoyed genes prevent it from freezing in the harsh colds of Russia, so if you’re in warmer weather, this may not be the best choice.
If you’re living in a somewhat cold environment then this guy is perfect for you. With the Samoyed’s calm and mellow temperament that gives a meek family vibe, plus the Corgi’s jolly personality, this will cater perfectly for a calm day but with little energy outbursts.

13. Corman Shepherd (German Shepherd + Corgi)
This next Corgi mix is the best alternative for those who want a German Shepherd but are slightly burdened with its huge size. The Corman Shepherd is just like a dwarf German Shepherd featuring a bigger head, yet smaller legs from a Corgi, it also inherited both the large ears of its parents.
Inheriting its protective personality from his German Shepherd parent, expect a loyal sidekick to you and your family. It may be cautious around strangers first, but once it warms up and finds a friend in them, the Corman Shepherd is a softie especially when it comes to belly scratching.
The Corman Shepherd is of medium-level maintenance since they shed moderately. This dog tends to bark at strangers, thus their protective trait makes them suitable as a watchdog, keeping your family safe for 10 to 15 years.
14. Dalgi (Dalmatian + Corgi)
One of the most memorable Corgi mixes of all time is the Dalgi. Its spots would catch Cruella de Vil’s eyes, wanting to own one. Featuring a longer coat than the Dalmatian, it may not be as smooth to the touch but still displays a gorgeous feature. Naturally, it is shorter than a Dalmatian, but slightly more athletic than a Corgi.
The Dalgi doesn’t just make a great playmate with its enthusiasm, it’s also perfect for a watchdog thanks to the Dalmatian’s genes, plus the Corgi’s love for barking. If you’re looking for a playmate that doubles as a watchdog, this may be it for you.
Since the Dalgi is considered an athletic breed, expect them to have high energy levels. They are also suitable as a watchdog, and will live for around 11 to 13 years.
15. Dobergi (Doberman Pinscher + Corgi)
Just like that of a Chorgi, this next Corgi mix also requires early socialization as its Doberman side brings more aloofness than friendliness. The Dobergi is a people-oriented dog that brings instant affection with his family, and with strangers too, if trained with early socialization.
This combination will most likely look like a Corgi with the colorings of the Doberman Pinscher. Similar to those on this list, it will inherit the Corgi’s large ears, just longer and thinner like that of a Doberman’s.
The Dobergi is an affectionate dog mixed breed so it is best to let them go through a socialization training in their early years. Also, make sure to make your Dobergi wear a harness all the time. Expect them to be with you for 12 to 15 years.
16. Golden Corgi (Golden Retriever + Corgi)
Just like a mini Golden Retriever with cute short legs, the Golden Corgi has the golden sheen of the Retriever with a few white splashes of its Corgi parent. Just like both of his parents, its fur is of medium length.
With this combination, you must expect a sweet but naughty canine addition as Retrievers are known for their friendly personality, while Corgis are naughty and jolly. If you’re a big fan of a Golden Retriever but slightly doubtful because of its size, the Golden Corgi can easily sub as a dupe.
The Golden Corgi may have a compacted size but they shed a lot. However, they are perfect companions for a family, making the family laugh for the next 10 to 13 years.
17. Greygi (Greyhound + Corgi)
Like the miniature of the big dogs on this list, the Greygi also looks like its Greyhound parent, with just shorter legs. This breed mix may seem a little bit unusual due to its contrasting appearances, but its compatibility is of wonderful levels.
This Corgi mixed breed is more on the calm and sleepy side, with just a little bit of energy outbursts. The Greygi mix will most probably result in a bug-like face, long and pointy, together with the Corgi’s big eyes and cute smile.
This quirky looking guy is highly affectionate. They tend to lounge and nap most of the time. In fact, they spend most of their 12 to 15 years just napping.
18. Horgi (Husky + Corgi)
Quite confusing what to call this next Corgi mix, it has few names you can choose from, namely Horgi, Siborgi, Horgski, and Corgski. Regardless of what you call him, I guarantee that he’s a spunky guy with a huge personality. With the Horgi’s thick and lustrous double coat, you should expect to brush him numerous times.
Naturally, he’s shorter compared to a Husky, but more athletic than a Corgi one. Because of the natural energetic personality of a Husky, this Corgi mix also requires about an hour’s exercise every day.

What a cute combination this next Corgi mix is! The Porgi is an adorable head-turner with its short and stout nature, goofy eyeballs, and big ears. In terms of adventures and braveness, you can never go wrong with opting for a Porgi.
This is perfect for those who get tired easily as the Porgi has short energy outbursts but a huge love for snoozing. Given that if he inherits a Pug’s flat face, you’ll instantly have a snuffler by day and snorer by night, so if you’re somewhat sensitive to sounds then you might wanna pass on this one.
The Porgi is loyal in stature. They have balanced energy levels but like to bark a lot, so you’ll be hearing lots of barking and yapping for the next 12 to 15 years.
20. Rottgi (Rottweiler + Corgi)
Among the rarest Corgi mixes on this list, the Rottgi or Corgweiler may be unusual, but it has the same cuteness the Corgi mixes in this list offer. This mix will typically result in the ears and overall shape of a Corgi but with the head and color markings of a Rottweiler.
Often times the Rottgi’s head may look a bit odd and disproportioned together with its little body, but this makes more room for that cutesy smile a Corgi offers, which brings out all our “awe moments.”
If you are looking for a perfect watchdog, a Rottgi might be the best choice for you. However, they love to bark and require daily exercise. That said, Rottgis have a short lifespan of only 8 to 10 years.
21. Spitzgi (Spitz + Corgi)
This Corgi mix will not only steal your heart, but also that of the passersby because of its smaller size compared to a Corgi, with double the fluff! The Spitzgi’s color will depend on his Spitz parent, but most often it will vary from a golden or brown color.
Adding to another rare Corgi mix on this list, it’s mainly because the Spitz is one of the lesser-known breeds. Despite its unpopularity, the Spitz loves to bring quite the show with its feistiness and enthusiastically lets you be aware of its loving presence.
Although a Spitzgi sheds a lot and sheds a lot, they also make a perfect watchdog, barking at strangers for the next 12 to 15 years.
