The Corgsky is a cross between a Siberian Husky and a Welsh Corgi (Pembroke or Cardigan). Due to the size difference between the males, a Husky female and a Corgi male are usually used for breeding.

If the size difference is taken into account, the risk of injury and pregnancy can be reduced when mating.

Size and build

The average height of a Corgi-Husky mix is about 12 - 15 inches tall, with males generally being larger than females. The dogs typically weigh somewhere between 20 and 50 pounds.

The physique is similar to that of a Corgi: the dog mixes are elongated and have short legs, but as with all hybrid breeds, variations are possible.

Individuals can have very different facial features, with traits of a Corgi, a Husky, or a mixture of the two. Their ears point upwards and their eyes can be brown, blue or two different colors.

Coat type and color

The medium to long hair is dense and provides a thick coat. The coat color can vary greatly, which is why it cannot be predicted.

Depending on the parent animals and dominant genes, the mixed breeds can be one to even three-colored. The following colorations are possible, for example:

• Classic fawn, Corgi-like
• Typical Husky colorations in black and white
  
• Tricolor of red or tan, black and white coat as in many Corgi Pembrokes

Corgi-Husky mixes are very charming hybrids. They get along well with other dogs and children. They can also be described as follows:

• Active and playful
• Loyal and affectionate
• Friendly and social
• Intelligent and eager to learn
• Trusting and fond of children
• Curious and spirited
• Loud and communicative

Their loud "talking" or howling, which is familiar from Huskies, is distinctive.

The Husky-Corgi mix sheds a lot, which is why it is not suitable for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. It is advisable to brush your dog at least once a day, especially during the shedding period, to control shedding and keep their coat shiny at the same time.

Grooming also includes regular dental care and claw trimming.

Although this mixed breed is not an athletic dog, as a descendant of Huskies, it still needs plenty of exercise and activity to prevent unwanted behavior. It should be physically and mentally stimulated to avoid boredom.

Obedience training is advisable from a very early age. Agility or flyball are also good options. In bad weather, a dog can also be kept busy indoors.

As with other breeds, a Corgi Husky puppy can also inherit classic ailments and diseases from both parent breeds, such as

• Obesity
• Back problems and hip dysplasia
• Skin and eye problems
• Degenerative myelopathy (DM), a spinal cord disease leading to paralysis and death
• Epilepsy
• Blood clotting disorder
• Heart disease

The probability is lower for offspring of healthy parents.

However, with appropriate care and nutrition as well as regular visits to the vet, Corgskys live a healthy life and live to be around 12 to 15 years old.

Conclusion

A Corgi-Husky mix has a cute character with a compact and unique shape. Dog training such a puppy will develop into a loyal companion – ideal for families and first-time dog owners alike.
