About the Aussie-Corgi
The Aussie-Corgi is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Miniature Australian Shepherd and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Aussie-Corgi is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.

General Description
This breed is known to be very playful and friendly, yet not as hyper as some of Corgis can be. Aussies are somewhat laid back and Augies inherit some of this good quality. They love people and seem especially fond of children. They also get along well with other dogs. Most will have prick ears, a softer fluffier coat, not quite as long in the body as a Corgi. The legs will be a little longer than the Corgi, but still short in comparison to the body. Can be any color with white markings anywhere on the body. Eyes can be any color. Nose should be black.
Character
This breed is hyper, affectionate, intelligent and sometimes stubborn. They crave human attention and interaction. They are not considered lap-dogs. They require a lot of daily exercise. They should be properly socialized with other animals and children from birth. They require daily training and will learn quickly based on their high level of intelligence. If under exercised, they may become bored and destructive.
General Health
They are very healthy for the most part but can be prone to eye and back problems.
Maintenance
The breed requires weekly brushing to keep shedding inside the house minimal.
Ideal Environment
This breed loves the outdoors and prefers a large yard. Daily leash walks will be required if a yard isn't available.
