History: The Corgipoo is a rare and recent hybrid breed between a corgi and a poodle, and like many hybrid breeds, its origins are unknown. Because they are such a new breed their puppies can be unpredictable, which is why you won’t find them registered with AKC until there is more consistency within the crossbreed. No single breeder has claimed to be the first to breed the Corgi and Poodle together, but it is assumed the first occurrence of the breed occurred in the late 1980s as people began experimenting with Poodle crossbreeds.

Temperament: Corgipoos are people pleasers and tend to get along with everyone they meet. They love spending time with their family and get along great with kids. They are also friendly with other pets and get along well with strangers. They can get attached to their owners, and do not like being left alone for extended periods of time. If left alone, their usually cute mischievous behavior can become destructive. They are very intelligent and take to training well, but they should be trained early to prevent the cross breed’s stubborn tendencies from developing.

They are high-energy, but only require a moderate amount of daily exercise to keep them happy. They love playing, and do best when their exercise involves mental stimulation. A few short walks or play sessions in the yard daily are usually enough to keep Corgipoos happy and healthy.
