Chigi

Chihuahua / Corgi Hybrid

The Chigi is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Chihuahua and the Corgi. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Recognized Names:
American Canine Hybrid Club = Chigi
Designer Dogs Kennel Club = Chi-Corgi

Dash, Welsh Corgi and Chihuahua hybrid at 3 years old. "We've been calling him a Corhuahua, but we see you have it listed as a Chigi here! He is laying in his dog bed that looks fit for the king that he thinks he is!"

"I would like to introduce you to my little Chigi, Frida shown here at 6 years old. She is a Chihuahua/Corgi mix and my pride and joy. She weighs about 7 pounds and is much smaller than I expected her to be! She is a great little dog, but can be kind of snotty sometimes. For instance, she sleeps on my bed with me, but if I get too close at night she growls. Also, she's not very good with kids. I just finished reading your page on Small Dog Syndrome and I think I know what the problem is: she thinks she is the boss of me. As recommended, I think I will look into the Dog Whisperer."

"Ok, enough about her negative qualities. She is a very happy little dog. She loves to play with Piggy, which is a stuffed animal she's had since she was a puppy. It is the same size as her, but she manages to drag him around everywhere. She loves her boyfriend Simon. He is a 100 lb. Rott-Lab mix. So far, he is the only dog that she really, really likes. Any other dog, no matter what the size, she would be trying to dominate. When I got her, I was very relieved to find she didn't get the corgi eating habits. Any other corgi I've ever had would eat themselves to death. Frida on the other hand is kind of picky, and is actually meticulous when it comes to eating. She always eats exactly half of her bowl and then saves the rest for later. When I say half, I mean she eats the right half or the left half, and there is always a nice, neat line down the middle!"

"By getting a mix, I was hoping to avoid some of the health problems pure breeds get. I managed to avoid the skin problems and allergies some Corgis are susceptible to, but in exchange Frida has had more serious health problems. She's had two intestinal infections, one rather serious (and expensive!), and has had 3 seizures this year. The vet still can't figure out what is causing the seizures. On top of that, she was attacked by another dog when she was a puppy, which resulted in surgery and a night in an animal hospital. All the vet visits keep me on my toes though and remind me of how lucky I am to have her."

Brady the Chihuahua/Corgi hybrid with Moses the Cat

"Brady is an affectionate 9 year old Chihuahua / Corgi hybrid (Chigi), with a natural gift for performing. He can walk on his hind legs, roll over, speak, dance, twirl, and when you point your forefinger at him and say "bang", he plays dead! He likes to burrow deep into the pile of pillows on our bed, with just his face visible."

"He lives with three cats, with whom he has very complex relationships (he tries to tell them he's the boss, they remind him that he isn't). The cat in the photos is Moses, a 9 year old DSH tabby cat with an obvious love of food. When he was two, he disappeared and was long feared dead. I received a phone call a full year later, from a woman who had found him on an old logging road 30 miles away. We were reunited because of the ID tattoo in his ear, and we've been together ever since. (He is now an indoor-only cat!)"

"Because of food allergies, Brady the Chigi is on a strict vegan diet. His favorite treats are popcorn and baby carrots. When he first developed allergies at the age of eight, he scratched off most of the fur on his chest and abdomen, and had to wear clothing to keep him from doing further damage to himself until the source of the allergic reaction was identified and eliminated."

Brady the Chihuahua/Corgi hybrid

"Brady the Chihuahua/Corgi hybrid loves going to the West Coast to frolic on the beaches and run through the forests...but he always makes sure his people aren't far behind! He is 7 years old in this picture, but still acts like a puppy."

Brady the Chihuahua/Corgi hybrid

"Brady, the Chigi, or Chihuorgi, as we like to call his hybrid. He was born in Toronto, but now lives in Victoria, BC, Canada. He is very smart and affectionate, and the centre of his "parents" lives. He likes camping (so long as he has his own camping chair), hiking, and long walks on the beach."
