Chorgi

/ˈtʃɔːrɡi/ noun

Definition

A dog breed that is a cross between a Corgi and another dog breed, particularly a Corgi mixed with a German Shepherd (also spelled 'Corgi').

Etymology

A modern blend of 'Corgi' (the Welsh dog breed) combined with other dog breeds. This is a contemporary portmanteau term that emerged with designer dog breeding in the late 20th century.

Kelly Says

Designer dog names are basically portmanteaus made from parent breeds—a 'chorgi' combines the short legs and charm of a Corgi with traits from another breed, creating a whole new trendy pet!
