When it comes to size, the Corgidor typically stands between 12-15 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs between 25-45 pounds. They have an average lifespan of 10-14 years, making them a great companion for many years to come.
The personality of the Corgidor is one of their most endearing traits; they are known for being loyal, loving, and affectionate dogs who love spending time with their owners. They are also very intelligent dogs who enjoy learning new tricks and commands.
Corgidors are generally friendly with other dogs, children, cats, and other animals when properly socialized from an early age. However, they may be wary of strangers at first but will warm up quickly once they get to know them better.
The temperament of the Corgidor is generally calm but alert; they make excellent watchdogs due to their protective nature towards their family members but are not overly aggressive or territorial towards strangers or other animals.

The adaptability level of the Corgidor is quite high; they do well in both urban and rural environments as long as they get plenty of exercise each day such as walks or playtime in the yard or park nearby. The benefits of having this breed as a pet include their loyalty towards their owners along with their intelligence which makes them easy to train for basic obedience commands such as sit/stay/come etc., plus they make great watchdogs due to their protective nature towards family members while still being friendly towards strangers once introduced properly!
History
The Corgidor is a small to medium sized dog that was developed in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The Corgidor is a cross between the Welsh Corgi and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. The Corgidor is considered to be a rare breed of dog and is not recognized by any major kennel club.
The Corgidor breed was developed in the early 1900s. The breed was created by crossing the Welsh Corgi with the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. The resulting offspring were smaller than either parent breed and had a more uniform appearance. The Corgidor quickly became popular in Wales and England.
The popularity of the Corgidor declined during World War II. During this time, many of the dogs were used as working dogs on farms and were not bred for conformation. After the war, the popularity of the breed declined further and by the 1970s, there were only a handful of Corgidors left in Wales.
In recent years, there has been a resurgence in interest in the Corgidor breed. This has been due in part to celebrities such as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles owning pet Corgis. The number of registered Corgis has increased dramatically in recent years and they are now considered to be an endangered breed.
The ancestry of the Corgidor can be traced back to two different breeds of Welsh origin-the Cardigan Welsh C orgi and Pembroke Welsh orgi . Although it is not known exactly when or how these two breeds were first developed, it is believed that they both descended from a common ancestor-the Swedish Vallhund . Vallhund means herding dog in Swedish , which indicates that these dogs were originally bred for herding livestock . It wasn't until much later that they began to be bred for companionship . In Wales , both Cardigan and Pembroke orgis were used as working dogs on farms , but they eventually became popular as pets among the upper class . Queen Victoria is credited with being one of the first people to own a Pembroke orgi , which she received as a gift from her daughter , Princess Alexandra .
Although there are records of individual orgis being imported into North America as early as 1909 , it wasn't until 1931 that the first litter of Cardigan orgis was born in Canada . In 1934 , two American Kennel Club representatives traveled to Wales to study both types of orgis . They decided to recognize only one type-the Pembroke-and gave it the name " Welsh corgi ." This decision caused controversy among corgi fanciers at the time , but eventually led to increased popularity for the Pembroke corgi in North America . Today , both Cardigan and Pembroke corgis are recognized as separate breeds by major kennel clubs around the world .
