Height runs 16–20 inches at the shoulder, against 10–12 in for the Corgi and 23–27.5 in for the Bernese Mountain Dog. The parents differ a lot in size, so litters vary more than usual. Breeders normally use the larger breed as the mother to keep whelping safe.

Figures are for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, the more common corgi.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Very high

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

High

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

High

The Corgi rates moderate and the Bernese Mountain Dog high; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Moderate

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

The Corgi is usually described as affectionate, smart, alert. The Bernese Mountain Dog as good-natured, calm, strong. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
