<p>Regi is just under 9 months old and weighs a little under 25lbs. He looks good--healthy but not skinny. He's definitely solid but he doesn't look bloated or unhealthy. I imagine he will gain another 5lbs before he's "full grown" since his dad was so massive, but maybe not. </p>

Here is a link: <a href="http://www.hillsvet.com/">http://www.hillsvet.com/</a> you have to sign up (I don't remember if I signed up with my vet I worked for or not) and it will give you guidelines for how to take various measurements of a dog or cat and you pick a body score and it calculates how much they have to lose and will create a graph for how long it should take the weight loss to occur. It is a really amazing program. Franklin weighs 29 pounds right now, 21 does seem to be a bit light for a corgi but what I tell my clients (I am my vet's weight loss coach) is to shoot for about 5 pounds and see what they look like at that point and go from there. Its really hard to pick an actual weight to shoot for because muscle weighs so much more than fat. </p> (I know I am talking Cardi he…tag:mycorgi.com,2013-04-28:1150197:Comment:17441392013-04-28T23:24:40.122ZChris Westhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/ChrisWest

<p>IMO it really relates to the size and build of your corgi. Frosty is just inside the top of the standard for size, and he always hovers around 38-40 lbs. Sounds HUGE for a corgi, and you'd think he'd be a chunky fatty butt, but here's a side shot, and he looks good. We can feel his ribs easily, exercise him regularly, and watch his treat intake. I would rely more on a human's opinion (the vet) of your dog's weight status than some computer program. What was the vet's opinion on his…</p>

<p>My 13 year old Bear is 27 lbs., 11 year old Tasha is 23 lbs. and the wild child Linus is 24 lbs. They all have lovely waists (you can only see Linus' when he's soaking wet) and I can tickle their ribs. Dr. Bates says my pet quality threesome are an solid example of good exercise, judicious feeding and itty-bitty treating. They are the joy in my life! </p>

<p>It depends on the build of the Corgi. Our smaller, more fragile Corgi, weighs 30 pounds after having lost 4 pounds. "Tank" has a much stronger and larger build. He weighs 35 pounds and he looks healthy and lean.</p>

My corgi, Edwyn, weighs right around 30 pounds. He is 12 years old and the vet says he is in great shape. Vet also said the same thing that someone else posted - you should be able to feel his ribs fairly easily.

My (female) Ein is at the top of the height scale - about 12 inches and hovers around 28-30 lbs at 3 yrs. If you are doing any activity with jumping/turns (like agility, herding, flyball) you really want to keep the weight down to avoid injuries. I got yelled at by my herding instructor - we took about 3 months off and she says Ein has gotten chubby (or rather "really filled out"). Ooops! Time to up the walks and cut down the treats.

<p>I would not go by a computer generated number to target my own ideal dog's weight, but that number would make me take a closer look at my dog.... You should be able to feel the dog's ribs and backbone with a little padding over them, but not so much that you have to hunt to find them. Standing and looking down at your dog, you should be able to detect a definite tuck-in at the waist, between the end of chest and the hips, in other words a waistline.

You should be able to feel the dog's ribs and backbone with a little padding over them, but not so much that you have to hunt to find them. Standing and looking down at your dog, you should be able to detect a definite tuck-in at the waist, between the end of chest and the hips, in other words a waistline. If the top of your gog is flat like a coffee table, your dog is in trouble. These guidelines apply to most breeds and mixed breeds. If your dog has a lot of coat your eyes can fool you, but your hands will not. When in doubt, a bit less weight beats a bit too much.</p>
<p>Puppies and old dogs may need to be assessed somewhat differently. Puppies go through different growth stages and old dogs tend to shift where their weight is carried.</p>
