Corgi mixes are low to the ground and wide in personality. Their size is small to medium, but their coat and their appetite behave like a bigger dog's.
Pembroke or Cardigan, the weights are close
The American Kennel Club lists the Pembroke Welsh Corgi at 10 to 12 inches and up to 30 pounds for males. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is 10.5 to 12.5 inches and 25 to 38 pounds. A corgi cross with a Beagle, Husky or Lab can land anywhere from 20 to 50 pounds. Economy at $52 a night suits most of these, and a pair from the same home pays $52 plus $44.
A herder's double coat
Both Welsh Corgis have a weather-resistant double coat, and corgi mixes shed enough to be famous for it. The bath chart effective January 1, 2024 puts a 26 to 50 pound double-coated dog at $55 and a 16 to 25 pound dog at $45. A smoother-coated cross may use the short column at $40 or $35. Please ask to confirm the price on your dates.
A long back on short legs
Corgis have a long back on short legs, which is why many owners limit jumping off furniture. If your dog has a back history, say so in the boarding agreement and tell the staff at check-in. Walks are included every day.
Appetite and exercise
Corgis gain weight easily. Bring your own measured food if your dog is on a diet, in the original bag with the amount written in cups; we also feed grain-free kibble with wet food at no charge. Herding dogs like to nudge and circle, so walks and a Happy Lick Mat at $4.99 keep them busy without overfeeding.
Before you drop off
Upload the vaccine records to your account ahead of time, and check that the recommended canine influenza booster is on file; the kennel accepts the first dose and suggests the booster 3 to 4 weeks later. If your corgi mix is new to boarding, a day of day care at $38 is an easy way to practice.
