Height runs 10–14 inches at the shoulder, against 10–15 in for the Miniature Poodle and 10–12 in for the Corgi.

Size figures assume a Miniature Poodle parent, the size closest to the Corgi. A different poodle size moves the whole range.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Very low to high

Poodle has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

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 Poodle rates very high and the Corgi moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low to very high

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

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