calvinandmommy Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 So I was trying to find a husky breeder and I came across this picture. I guess it was on a Corgi site but either way....I WANT ONE!!! Not really it is just funny looking! Why would anybody breed something like this?! Please let it this be from a oops litter.

Christine0925 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's not,people are poorly breeding huskies with Pomeranians and corgis to produce 'mini huskies'. It's sad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenwolf Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Nope, they're out there - I used to own one! Determined to fit in the cat bed. This was after she had been clipped and at the end of her long battle with Cushing's and Hypothyroidism. Trinity was lucky - she had legs that were halfway between a husky and a corgi, so while stumpy they weren't overly so. I saw one other dog from her litter and it looked very much like the one in the OP's photo. But she was a full 50 lbs at a healthy weight - husky-sized on little legs. I can only imagine the leg and hip issues she would have had as she aged (she died at 6). As it was she needed a chiropractor to keep her hips in line so she could trot, and she only ran on her left lead. I think it's a terribly cruel mix - a sled dog with a herding dog. Health problems aside, I swear that the only reason she learned good recall was that while she was obese you could outrun and tackle her if she tried to bolt. Once she lost weight and got fitter, she'd give you a dirty look and keep going, but the moment you made to run at her she'd scoot to the side and sit and wait, LOL. Lesson well learned!

RIOTcore Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 omg that's so sad, although my mums comment was hilarious just then, "Imagine that at a husky meet, the huskies going up to it goin wtf are you" the dog replying "i'm a husky" the husky replying "no you're not" then they're arguing and the little one looking up at the sibes arguing aha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmscott Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 · Hidden Hidden There is also a condition that causes dwarfism in the limbs, the same as humans can have. I knew a chow that had it. Link to comment
xLOBOx Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I've seen that picture before, too. I hope it is photoshopped and I definitely hope whoever may own that dog's parents learned to get their pets fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dammyy1 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yes, this dog is a corgi and husky mix. This dog SHOULD be this height because the corgi is short. THIS IS NOT A "MISTAKE".

dammyy1 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 It's not photoshopped. That dog is suppose to be like that. It is a corgi and husky mix and it has the corgi size and the husky colours. I've seen that picture before, too. I hope it is photoshopped and I definitely hope whoever may own that dog's parents learned to get their pets fixed. It's not photoshopped. That dog is suppose to be like that. It is a corgi and husky mix and it has the corgi size and the husky colours. Please search it up and THEN comment. if someone wanted a mini husky why didnt they just get a klee kai ???...... would love to know which the dad was lol xx They are CALLED corgi and husky mix. There is also a condition that causes dwarfism in the limbs, the same as humans can have. I knew a chow that had it. It's just SUPPOSE to be that small.

Chula Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I am curious what the purpose of this cross breeding would be, if not just because people think it's cute to have a husky with short little legs. It doesn't seem to me that dogs could be bred this way for any reasonable purpose. Edited August 7, 2014 by Chula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

^Aurora^ Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yes, this dog is a corgi and husky mix. This dog SHOULD be this height because the corgi is short. THIS IS NOT A "MISTAKE". Do NOT ever say that corgi and husky mixes are mistakes because my family is getting one. Don't take it so personally. You have your opinion as do other people. Personally I think it's irresponsible to breed such a large dog with a small one. Although in the current climate with so many dogs in kennels you could say it's irresponsible to breed ANY dog! I'm no expert nor do I claim to be but I'm pretty sure with any cross breed it's not 100% which traits your dog will have from each parent, physical and behavioural. So as long as people buying these dogs are fully aware they may end up with a husky size dog with a corgi head hopefully we won't find them behind the glass at the dogs trust! It also opens the door for people to make stupid mistakes thinking they can make money out of 'designer dogs' such as these. Can you imagine a corgi having to carry and give birth to husky sized pups? Sounds dangerous to me but again these are purely my opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
