Anyone with a approx 20lb PW Corgi out there?

My Ollie is projected to be around 20lbs -- his mom is around 17-18 (very petite) and his dad is around 24lbs... if anyone has a similar sized corgi, I was just wondering how tall/long yours is as an adult? I was told that his mom's pups have tended to lean towards her petite size.

Also a couple of questions...

Ollie is 11 and 1/2 weeks right now and at 10.5-11lbs... is that spot on? He's very healthy, a good but not voracious eater and very happy and playful... just being a worried mommy :)

Lastly, I brush his teeth with doggy toothpaste 1-2x a week and he's chewing hoofs and rawhide and cardboard all over the place; is that enough for maintaining his pearly whites? Does he need yearly dental cleanings and if so, when do those start?

THANK YOU!!!!

You're doing great with the brushing, keep it up and you'll save on dental bills, always supervise the hoofs and rawhide chews, little bits can break off, swallowed and cause obstruction.

I have a 20 lb. corgi. She doesn't want me to measure her just now, since she's barking at fireworks, but she is very well proportioned. Sometimes people ask if she's a puppy, but mostly they just say she looks gooooood! In agility class I restrict her to 8" hurdles, but she can jump over the back of the sofa. Faster than a speeding bullet, too. And easy to lift.

Thanks! Yes, that is what I'm thinking Ollie will be like... the vet agreed. I don't mind his being small at all :) He turned 3 months yesterday and is at just under 11lbs and in great health! We're starting a puppy agility class next weekend that I'm so excited about! He loves to play and jump for toys and balls so I hope it goes well :) if any of you are in the LA area, the puppy agility course is at The Zoom Room in Culver City :)

Happy 4th of July!
