Corgi Mix FAQs
Where Do I Find a Corgi Mix?
One of the most challenging about finding a Welsh Corgi mix is finding a reputable breeding source. Many breeders are, in fact, inhumane puppy mills that are breeding Corgis for profit and not out of care for the animals.
You can adopt a Corgi mix from your local vet clinic or animal shelter, or you can search online at AdoptAPet.com.
If you choose to go through a breeder, we recommend doing your homework beforehand. Start by reading our guide to finding a reputable breeder, and go from there.
How Much Does a Corgi Mix Cost?
As Corgis are one of the most popular breeds in the world, they command a high price tag – though mixed-breeds tend to be priced slightly lower than their purebred counterparts.
A Corgi mix’s average cost is between $500 and $1000. However, this varies wildly based on the breed of the other dog in the mixture, the pedigree of the Corgi parent, location, and many other factors.
How Long do Corgi Mixes Live?
The average lifespan of a Corgi mix tends to be somewhere between the average lifespans of each mixed breed dog. Most Corgis live to over ten years old, meanwhile other mixes vary in age from 8 – 10 years to 12 – 14 years.
To be safe, the average lifespan of a Corgi mix will likely be over ten years, but usually not more than 15 years. Mixed-breed dogs tend to inherit hybrid vigor, which generally makes them healthier than some purebred parents.
