Super Rare Newfoundland-Corgi Mix Looks Like a Cookies and Cream Bear Cub

Sometimes, people don't give people the whole truth. It's especially common in sales: you don't want to scare someone off, and you have to make sure what you're selling is appealing.

That is how you end up with a puppy like this: they were told he was a Newfoundland mix, plain and simple. As he grew up, though... It became very clear that he's a Newfoundland-Corgi mix, and he's absolutely hilarious:

I thought he'd be bigger than this #newfoundlanddog#mixbreed#corgi#fyp

A Lil Tosty was not expecting this at all. Even when you're told a dog is a Newfoundland Mix, you're almost always expecting a massive dog. They're basically bears! However, Corgi genes put up a fight every single time. If there's a Corgi mix in the world, they look like a Corgi.

Some people in the comments of this video thought he might be a Basset Hound mix before she popped in and said he was half Corgi. They thought he was most likely part Basset because he has:

• Spotted legs.
• Round, large paws.
• A back that dips a little.

Apparently, his mother was the Corgi, and she's seen her since buying the dog. The fact that a mix-up like this happened is just so funny! I can't imagine waiting for my dog to sprout into a big, black-bear-looking boy and getting a sweet Corgi mix instead.

What Are Newfoundland-Corgi Mixes Like?

Though it'll be hard for you to find a mix like this, it's not entirely impossible. Clearly, they're very cute, but there are some things you should probably know before you start considering one!

The Newfoundland-Corgi mix will typically end up with a larger body, but shorter legs, and a slightly longer back. They're a perfect mix of both breeds, and they'll love to:

• Run
• Play
• Nap
• Snuggle

They're incredibly loyal to their families, though they might try to herd you from time to time. In addition, you'll need to be a bit cautious: they often inherit some of the Corgi's back issues, which can make jumping difficult and painful. If you do get one, though, you won't regret it! Even if you have no idea until they start looking like a Newfoundland's head on a Corgi's body.
