As cute as that may be, I really fear for that poor pup's later life. I've heard that Corgis and Shibas both have enough complications of their own due to breeding so cross-breeding between them seems like it's bound to end up badly.
It's because of stuff like that that I always go with a Border Coli. Smart, hard-working sheepdogs. Healthy, long-lived, and plenty of fun.
It entirely depends what the health condition is about, I suppose.
Bigger dogs cross-bred with smaller dogs can lose the future strain on their hearts and organs because of their other genetic half.
That said, I had a German/Collie mix. Old man lived until he was about 15, nearly 16, and could've probably kept going if he didn't lose his back legs to Shepherd's Arthritis. The Collie mix kept him going remarkably well though past anyone else his age.
Will do. She's with a foster now, and does have a Kong, frisbee, plus four other dogs to play with, but this was the only pic I could get of her standing still for any longer than 3 seconds. I'm getting her all kinds of goodies before I pick her up on saturday
Actually, that makes the dog think whats happening is dangerous, it's better to teach them there is nothing to fear than confirm that there is something to fear.
