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

Height runs 18–21 inches at the shoulder, against 10–12 in for the Corgi and 26–30 in for the Saint Bernard. 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

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 Saint Bernard moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Corgi is usually described as affectionate, smart, alert. The Saint Bernard as playful, charming, inquisitive. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
