Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low to 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

Moderate to very high

The Corgi rates moderate and the Cocker Spaniel very high; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low to high

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

The Corgi is usually described as affectionate, smart, alert. The Cocker Spaniel as gentle, smart, happy. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
