About My Corgi(s):
Gromit was born in September of '09. He is the third Corgi I've been owned by and what he lacks in a tail he makes up for with his tongue. Gromit is named for the super smart dog "Gromit" in the "Wallace & Gromit" movie series from the UK. Our newest family member is Sparkle, a female Corgi, who was born in January of 2012. Sparkle is as bright and happy as her name. Her brother Rocky is on MyCorgi, too: http://mycorgi.com/profile/RRG
I have:
Pembroke

    Thanks for posting Obesity in Corgis.  I have seen a lot of FAT Corgis.

    I keep My Wynne between 23 - 24 pounds and Will between 27 - 28 pounds.  We weight them monthly.  Then we adjust their food if we see a gain or decline in their weight.

    I just saw a really fat corgi yesterday.  She mentioned that he was a rescue and timid.  I assumed he was a recent adoption and so I said something about his weight and it was good that she could now help him slim down.  I assumed wrong.  No, she had him for years.  She said his weight was due to neutering.  I told her NO...mine were both neutered and not fat. I hope I got her thinking. 

    I will use this quote you included the next time I meet a Corgi when the owner tells me they are over 40 pounds, but just big boned. 

    Note:  The Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America breed standard says the following:  "Weight is in proportion to size, not exceeding 30 pounds for dogs and 28 pounds for bitches [females]."

    OMG...whatta mouth. Didn't mean to barge into the Corgi weight issue. But, since I did, hello to you, Doug, G & S. And a big shout out to mycorgi.com and all my old friends on this site. Hope to get back soon. Sometimes life interferes with Corgi fun. But, my life, knock wood (!) is good stuff, just busy. Hope it stays just good stuff. Love to you Doug and your beauties. Love to all mycorgi people, and a shout out to Sam!
