Hi all, just wondering what the average weight for a corgi puppy is...the vet says Maple is healthy, she is 21 lbs @ 6 months! Wondering if this is a bit too much...Her father is named "Tank", and he is a big corgi, possibly 40 lbs. Is there such a thing as a Big Corgi breed? Your thoughts...
I am the exact opposite! My corgi pups are on the small size, only being 10 lbs at 4 months, and ive asked my vet about this and he says they are healthy. I think its just the corgi.
Big does not mean Corgi standard which would be about 12"high at their shoulders and 18" long from their shoulders to their butt. Sage and her mom weighed 19 pounds till almost 2.She is exactly at the weight she should be(24#) at 2. She is now at 5 the same weight. I feed TOTW or Canidea(ALS) which is grain free and my Corgis get 1/3-1/2 cup 2 times a day. I believe that just like for people that too many carbs are NOT good!!!!!!
Where we live the vets are not really used to Corgis and so they can't always offer the best advice for food. Yes, there are different sized Corgis. Corgis do not reach their full size till about 18-24 months...that's why they are considered a large breed dog as they take so long to reach their full size.
Just like people....they do come in different sizes but we need to be aware of their weight.

Do corgis keep growing after a year? I thought they topped out their growth (unless they get fat of course) by 12 mo's - I'm hoping mine stays small!
