Aussie-Corgi Puppies for Sale
About the Aussie-Corgi
The Aussie-Corgi, sometimes called the Auggie, crosses the Australian Shepherd with the Pembroke Welsh Corgi to produce a compact, sturdy herding companion. These dogs often inherit the Corgi's short legs and long body along with the Aussie's colorful coat, which may include merle patterning. Bright, energetic, and affectionate, Aussie-Corgis are built from two herding breeds and enjoy training, games, and being at the center of family life. Their intelligence makes them quick learners, but the herding instinct can lead to nipping at heels. A double coat means steady shedding, and the long-backed build calls for weight management.
Every dog is an individual — genetics, socialization, health, training, and environment matter more than breed averages.

History
The Aussie-Corgi is a modern designer cross joining two working herding breeds, developed for a smaller, characterful family dog with plenty of drive. It has no kennel-club standard and is generally a first-generation hybrid. Both the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Australian Shepherd have deep herding backgrounds, in Wales and the American West respectively.
Temperament
These dogs are typically smart, lively, and affectionate, thriving on interaction and activity. Both parents were bred to move livestock, so heel-nipping and a bossy streak can appear without direction. Positive training and daily exercise keep them happy and well-mannered.
Questions to ask a Aussie-Corgi breeder
- Have the parents been screened for hip dysplasia and degenerative myelopathy?
- Is the Aussie parent tested for MDR1 drug sensitivity?
- How long-backed are the puppies expected to be?
Health considerations to discuss
Intervertebral disc disease. The long-backed Corgi build raises spinal risk; keeping the dog lean helps.
Degenerative myelopathy. Corgis can carry the DM mutation; ask about DNA testing.
Hip dysplasia. Present in both parent breeds; request hip evaluations.
