Species group: Mixed Breeds

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

The first generation Australian Shepherd / Cardigan Welsh Corgi Mix is a cross between a pure Australian Shepherd and a pure Cardigan Welsh Corgi, although subsequent generations may have different proportions of the two breeds in the mix. At the current time, the cross between the Aussie and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi seems far more popular, but you may occasionally encounter this mix.

Appearance / health:
It's impossible to predict the exact traits inherited by a mixed-breed dog, but you can expect a smaller, probably less wide-ranging dog than the purebred Aussie.

Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact personality of a mixed-breed, the cross between two well-respected herding dogs is likely to retain all the usual herding dog pluses and minuses-- a strong intelligence, a love of exercise and getting outdoors, and a tendency to try to herd or even nip its human "flock" together in one place. Expect these dogs to become depressed and destructive if you don't give them enough to do. They demand mental and physical challenges.

Easy dosing with liquid form in small dogs

I use a lot of Metacam liquid for arthritis pain in my small patients. It tastes good, and can be given over food or directly by mouth. Won't be effective for all patients, and potential GI upset, careful with compromised kidneys/livers etc. Overall, a good medication. I us...
