Health and breeding information
What diseases can occur in Dachshund and Corgi Mix.
Even though mixed breed dogs are healthier overall than their purebred counterparts, they can still be susceptible to the health issues of both parent breeds. Dachshund-Corgi mixes, in particular, are prone to some serious health problems that all prospective owners should be aware of.
One of the most common health problems in Dachshund-Corgi mixes is Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). This disease is caused by deterioration of the discs that cushion the vertebrae of the spine. When the discs tear or herniate, they can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, causing pain, weakness and even paralysis. IVDD most commonly occurs in Dachshunds, but can also affect Corgis and other short-legged breeds.
Another condition to watch out for in Dachshund-Corgi mixes is patellar luxation. This is a dislocation of the kneecap that can range from mild to severe. It can be caused by trauma, genetics, or even poor conformation. Patellar luxation can be very painful and may require surgery to correct.
Dachshund corgis are also susceptible to von Willebrand disease, a bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in a protein that promotes blood clotting. This disease can range from mild to severe and is common in Dachshunds and other small breeds.
While these health concerns may sound scary, it's important to remember that mixed breed dogs are generally healthy and resilient animals. With proper care and regular veterinary checkups, your Dachshund-Corgi mix can live a long and happy life.
