Revision as of 16:19, 16 December 2019
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.
Dorgi's have 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.
