Corgi Great Dane Mix: Everything You Need To Know
Have you ever wondered what a Corgi Great Dane mix looks like?
More importantly, what is their personality like?
A Corgi Great Dane mix is not a crossbreed you hear about or see very often because they are very different breeds to mix together. This crossbreed cannot occur naturally and is only possible via in vitro fertilization.
Let’s take a closer look at this unusual crossbreed.
Is it possible to mix a Corgi with a Great Dane?
It is possible to mix a Corgi with a Great Dane, but only via in vitro fertilization.
This crossbreed cannot occur naturally because a Corgi and a Great Dane are incompatibly sized.
At its largest, a Corgi will reach 12-13”. A Great Dane is typically more than double the size, reaching 28”.
What is the temperament of a Corgi Great Dane mix?
It’s unclear exactly what the temperament of a Corgi Great Dane mix would be because there simply aren’t enough of them around to make an assessment.
Great Danes are considered gentle giants that are a little bit playful and great with children.
Corgis, on the other hand, are energetic little dogs that need a lot of mental and physical stimulation each day.
It would be fair to assume that a Corgi Great Dane mix would fall somewhere in between, being a fairly energetic dog that’s affectionate and playful.
However, you never know with a crossbreed which traits might be dominant. For example, a Corgi Great Dane mix might have more Corgi in it, making it very active and stubborn.
Or, it might have more Great Dane in it. That would make the Corgi Great Dane mix more chilled out and up for a laidback lifestyle.
What does a Corgi Great Dane mix look like?
There’s only one image online of a Corgi Great Dane mix.
You can see that it has the Corgi’s stubby legs and pointed ears. Its coat, markings and face shape is the same as a Great Dane’s.
Plus, it’s a few inches bigger than the average Corgi.
Other Corgi Great Dane mixes might look more Corgi, with a fluffier coat and more pointed nose, or more Great Dane, with longer legs and big, floppy ears.

Is a Corgi Great Dane mix ethical?
Mixing two different breeds together can be problematic, especially if it’s done for purely aesthetic reasons and not for a specific purpose (e.g. trying to breed a dog to be hypoallergenic).
Corgis and Great Danes are very different in size and stature and this could cause problems for their offspring.
One of the reasons for this is that Corgis have dwarfism. Breeding a dwarf breed with a non-dwarf breed could cause issues as the litter may have traits or genes incompatible with dwarfism.
