Introduction

The Horgi is a hybrid breed that’s a mix of Siberian Husky and Corgi. In short, they offer Husky looks in a Corgi-sized package, and with their super-sociable natures, they are proving to be popular family pets and companions.

History

The Horgi was first introduced in the 1990s, and although it’s a combination of breeds that may already have existed in mongrel mixes, the Horgi was an intentional mix of Siberian Husky and Cardigan or Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite). The resulting combination of striking Husky looks with sweet Corgi temperament made them instantly popular “designer dogs” that could adapt to apartment life as well as an active outdoor life.

Personality

The Horgi is an energetic, friendly, and even-tempered breed that makes a loving companion or fun playmate for active families and individuals. Very outgoing and always eager to please, the Horgi likes to be in company at all times, whether with people or another dog, and doesn’t do well if left alone. With immense stamina, the Horgi needs plenty of exercise every day and is therefore best suited to active owners who enjoy a lengthy hike.

Health Issues as a hybrid breed the Horgi is generally healthy and less susceptible to the hereditary conditions that may affect pure bred Huskies or Corgis. The Corgi-like longer back can give rise to back problems, especially if they become overweight.
Care Tips Horgis are relatively low maintenance but exercise needs are high. Grooming: daily brushing will help to remove loose hairs. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: one hour of exercise split into two daily walks is the minimum for this energetic breed, and ideally another hour or two of outdoor play in a secure garden. Where outdoor play isn’t possible, daily walks need to be lengthy and it may take a jog to keep them happy and settled at home.
