Hello, My husband and I are currently looking into Corgi mixes or even purebred Corgis. Does anyone know how they get along with rabbits? I do know they can try to herd people and this behavior would be need to be corrected. Any other info would be appreciated!
Only experience I have had with them is they bite the ankles of my friends children. She has Welsh Corgi & think other is either Pembroke or Cardigan ? Corgi
Yeah. I heard they can try to herd people and children and the behavior shouldn't be tolerated. Not sure if it could be corrected in an older dog or not. Thanks for the info!
Friend 2 dogs are 5 & 7 years old, her children are 9 & 11 years old, everytime her children walk pass the dogs they snap at their ankles, the younger child as had skin broken on ankle several times
I love Corgis, and often end up watching the Pem. judging at Championship shows. In the UK, Corgi registrations are at an all time low, hence not many pet Corgis around - and therefore not many Corgi mixes. I believe they are more popular on the US. When they were more numerous here, temperament varied a great deal - possibly depending on individual bloodlines. I have known quite a few sweet, happy and intelligent ones, (they do quite well in obedience), but also one or two moody, snappy ones. The running at heels is a trait from their original purpose as herding dogs. As with a lot of breeds which have a mixed reputation, I think that a lot must depends on the temperament of the parents - especially the dam, and the capability of the owner.
