Dog breed| Dorgi | |
|---|---|
 An adolescent Dorgi. | |
| Foundation stock | Dachshund, Welsh corgi |
| Variety status | Not recognized as a breed by any major kennel club. |
| Dog (domestic dog) | |
A Dorgi is a dog which is a cross between a Dachshund and a Welsh Corgi.
This hybrid started when one of Queen Elizabeth's corgis mated with a Dachshund, Pipkin, belonging to Princess Margaret. The sisters bred more Dorgis and these included Cider, Berry, Vulcan and Candy, who belonged to the Queen, and Rum, who belonged to Margaret. Over the years, the Queen had at least ten Dorgis, the others being named Brandy, Chipper, Harris, Pickles, Piper and Tinker.
Dorgis have a short coat in a variety of colours ranging from gold to brown to black.
Both the Corgi and the Dachshund have a long back and so there is a potential for structural problems. Health issues may include patella luxation, hip dysplasia and Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease.
