Pounds. The dark band is where most Corgi Pomeranian Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 8–10 inches at the shoulder, against 10–12 in for the Corgi and 6–7 in for the Pomeranian. 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.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

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

The Corgi rates moderate and the Pomeranian moderate; 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 Pomeranian as inquisitive, bold, lively. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
