"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…"

How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Shauna, Jeff, and Regi Apr 29. 18 Replies 0 Likes
I just took Herky to the vet. The vet has a program that tells you how much he should weigh, how much to lose, what to feed him to reach goal, and how long it will take. I actually thought he looked…Continue

Discussed with the vet about putting Mia on alternative treatment plan for her limping. They recommended glucosamine and chondroitin. They have the chews at their office but I can also buy "human"…Continue

First I want to thank everyone for the suggestions to help Herky and his dingleberry problem. He has been to the groomer and so far so good (fingers and toes crossed)!Next on the list is Mia. She has…Continue
HELP!!! Poop On Herky's Butt!!!
Started this discussion. Last reply by mia, herky, & kim Feb 15. 7 Replies 0 Likes
Herky has just started having a problem with little bits of poop sticking and drying to his fur "back there". I think it is his "nub" hair or maybe the area under his nub. Mia has NOT had this…Continue

"yes, this is the program my vet used. ever since Mia hurt her leg they have gotten much less exercise so I know that is why he has gained. now with his foot also hurt it has been trying to get exercise but not enough to aggravate his leg."
Chris West replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"(I know I am talking Cardi here, not Pem lol, but the point was, every corgi is different ;)"
Chris West replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"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…"
"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…"
MCE replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"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."
Terrilee Miller replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"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."
Ivy replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"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…"
Anna Morelli replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"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…"
Beth replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"It is possible for a small Corgi to go only 21 pounds, but that would be unusual. Especially for a male.
I looked at your photos and I would say that I agree both should lose some weight, but I'd be surprised if 21 pounds is a realistic…"
Jane Christensen replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"Height (from ground to highest point on withers) should be 10 to 12 inches. Weight is in proportion to size, not exceeding 30 pounds for dogs and 28 pounds for bitches. In show…"

Ingrid & Ein replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"25 pounds. A good weight for her. Lean, visible waist, but not scrawny. "
Jen Giammona replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"Linus is about 26 pounds. The vet commented that he looked "lean" for a corgi when he was neutered at the beginning of the month, when he turned a year old. I think he looks fine, you can feel his ribs, but can't see them (he has a…"
Linda replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"Max weights 37 lbs. Sounds like a lot but he is a big boned guy and the vet is happy with his weight considering when we got him he was 54 lbs. Looked like a pot bellied pig with a corgi head. We probably gave him an extra 5 years…"
heather jones replied to mia, herky, & kim's discussion How Much Does Your Corgi Weigh?"My corgi just turned 7 months and and was weighed in at the vet yesterday at 25 pounds, that sounds like too much but he is just solid, not chubby at all. I think it just depends on their build."

LA Stewart said… Kim,
I read what you said about "Itchy Dog" and Wynne has that allergy issue. It started 2 years ago when she was a bit over 1 year old. I hoped it was a one time thing, but it came back last year with a vengence. It always starts mid-August for her, so I have been watching her. She already seems to over react when I rub her belly and that is usually the first sign. I called the vet and picked up pills so I am ready. *sigh* I hate that she goes through this every year. She hates when we have to soak her feet about every other day, but it does help her.
Hope Herky makes out OK this year.

Mitch said… Hi Kim,
well, there will be at least three or four people at the meetup. We also know some non-mycorgi.com people who have corgis and we invited them; we have also invited all the corgi-owning dog park regulars. I hope as many as possible show up--it would kind of awesome to meet Herky (I worked at UI for about 4 months before I figured out that he's the mascot, der).

I see you started a new group for Iowa. Hoping to get a picnic for next year?
If you have it near Coralville we might come and visit with our breeder the next day.
BUT you still have to come to th Illinois Corgi Picnic too.

Holly W said… - It looks like there's a 40% chance of rain here in Omaha tomorrow. It said "scattered" so at least it won't be constant. I'm going to try to get out to the dog park for the meet-up if it's not raining.

Natalie & Lance &Tucker said… - Aww, thanks! I would love to attend the Freeport picnic, unfortunately, its a bit too far for us. :( The park looks wonderful!!! Although the park is too far for us we also wont be able to attend with Lance because he is sick. I know Lance and Tucker would love it, to run and frap. Tucker is so ready for some play time, his buddy just isn't up to it. :( It would be interesting to see Tucker with a bunch of corgis since we have only seen him with Lance int he five months we have had him. I am looking forward to seeing lots of pics and videos from the day. :)
