Corgi Comparisons!

I was just wondering how other people's PWC compare to my Leia!

She is 19 months and she only weighs about 17 lbs., I have no idea why she is SO tiny, everyone thinks she is a puppy but really she hasn't grown since she was 8 months old. Her last yearly check up that was done at 15 months old the Vet said she's just petite but I dunno.
We call her Princess or we call her Leia. Sometimes I call her L (like Gossip Girl). My husband named her of course after Princess Leia from Star Wars.
She is extremely attached to me, follows me where ever I go. Its funny because she can appear to be dead asleep and if I get up or move she is right up and behind me! If I go into the bathroom or the bedroom to take a nap she sits outside waiting for me.
She also seems to have what I'll call a learning disability. Some people might say she's just stubborn, but I honestly think she just doesn't get whats going on sometimes.
She is absolutely the sweetest dog I've ever seen, she loves absolutely everyone, person, dog, cat, squirrel, she'll be friends with anything!
She hardly ever barks or whines, which is great because we live in an apartment. Her favorite toy is a stuffed ring with a big pink stuffed diamond with a squeaky in it.
She tends to run into walls, a lot. Its pretty funny.
We never give her people food which was my husbands idea, he didn't want a beggar, which worked out great because she never bothers us while we'll eating. Her stomach is very sensitive, we recently had a few people over to watch the fight and they dropped all kinds of chips and crumbs on the ground, I was cleaning up puke and diarrhea the next two days!

So that's my crazy corgi!

3 months old (the day we got her)

17 months old

So does anyone think their dog is maybe a little.. slow? LOL
Sometimes I call her a bimbo or a dumb blonde (although most of her hair is more red haha) but she really is just a ditz! She always runs into walls and loses her treats just moments after I give them to her. Oh after a year I would think she'd get the whole dont jump on the couch thing, but nope!

Comment by Beth on July 20, 2009 at 7:51pm: She looks perfectly fine to me. The show standards are just that; show standards. There are undersized and oversized dogs, even from good breeders.

Our Jack is the anti-Leia! LOL He's huge, he barks a lot, and he can't keep stuffed toys because he disembowels them in 5 minutes flat.

Comment by Cindi on July 20, 2009 at 5:47pm: Our Maddie is about 17 lbs and 2 years old. She's very petite and most think she's a small puppy. But she's a spitfire of a doggie!

Comment by Sarah C. on July 20, 2009 at 5:08pm: I too have a corgi that people say is small. She's 20-21 lbs and she'll be 2 in october.
...
i think most the corgis they see are just pudgey.

Comment by Meryl on July 20, 2009 at 4:29pm: Bubbles is just like Leia, she's 15 months and 19 pounds, a lot of people assume she's still a puppy. Children will just run to her and pat her until her loud bark startles them. Her stomach is also very sensitive, especially if we host a BBQ party. I have to keep an eye on her but its almost impossible since she's very sneaky.. I guess we got a small corgi plus I never knew/seen her parents, she was given to me as a birthday gift.

Comment by Aj on July 20, 2009 at 3:18pm: My Ein is 18 months, 4 weeks old and he's 19 lbs. He's a lover and doesn't bark much. And he follows me around too! Hm, I think Leia and Ein are pretty similar!
