The Corgi Pug is a crossof the Pug and the Pembroke or Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Besides the Pug’s squashed face or black mask, the other physical or behavioral traits depend on whether it has the Pembroke or Cardigan Welsh’s blood running through its body. The Pembroke-like ones might have a small or no tail at all with high energy levels, while those on the Cardigan’s side appear larger and less on the activity meter.
On the whole, they are an excellent family companion with a curious demeanor. They might not go on barking and disturbing everyone around but would, for sure, be watchful of their surroundings.
The only flip side that you need to watch out for is its nipping tendency and bouts of stubbornness. Supervise its interaction with the little ones of your home and give it obedience training since it is a puppy.
