The Corgidor is a mixed breed that crosses the Corgi, usually the Pembroke Welsh type, with the Labrador Retriever, and it is also known simply as the Corgi Lab Mix. The combination has likely occurred naturally for decades, and many Corgidors end up looking like a Labrador on short legs, complete with the Lab's broad head and friendly expression. The mix joins two working traditions, the Corgi's cattle-herding watchfulness and the Labrador's retrieving and companionship, which helps explain its reputation as an alert yet easygoing family dog. As a cross it is not recognized by the American Kennel Club, though hybrid registries acknowledge it.
Corgidors are typically medium-sized, standing roughly 12 to 23 inches tall depending on which parent they favor and weighing about 30 to 60 pounds. They are good-natured, loyal and even-tempered, usually getting along well with children and other pets, though some inherit a herding instinct that can show up as heel-nipping without early training. The short double coat sheds moderately and needs weekly brushing, more during spring and fall. These are moderately energetic dogs that enjoy daily walks, fetch and outdoor adventures with their families, and their long backs mean jumping from heights should be limited. A healthy Corgidor generally lives 10 to 15 years.
