Size of a Corgi at 1 Yr

My lil guy Ein is just over a year, July 4th birthday, and I'm curious to know how big he will get. He's 34lbs, about 4 overweight and yes we are working on it, he's just switching to adult food now as well. Anyway, we have a few neighbors with Corgis and they are older but also seem quite bigger. Ein still looks like he was 3 months ago. When do they get full size? The vet said he was, but I'm not so sure, although it doesn't seem he has grown in awhile.

Is he maybe just the runt and will be small like he is, or will be get a little bigger?

He's about this big in March, and still the same size now.

Don't worry, Corgis usually "fill up" around 2 years old :) Standard male should be 27lbs +-.

I was going to say the same thing as Sam. Ella just turned 2 yrs in June, and she seems to be at her "adult size". She's stayed steady at 22lbs for maybe the last 4 months, and hasn't grown any in that time.

Jack was about as big at 15 months as he ended up getting. Some continue to fill out, as Sam says. How tall is he at the shoulder? That will tell you if he's within the standard range or not (measure from floor to the withers, which is the high point where the neck flows into the shoulder blades).

Oh my goodness, Ein has a tail like Lando Oliver.

What a handsome guy Ein is! Wynn is 5 and weighs 29#'s he is the right size for his height/length. Ein does look like he might be taller , I agree with Beth that it would be good to measure him,looking at the pic he doesn't look overweight but he may look a little bigger. Many people think that corgis should be bigger but most are overweight if they are more than 30#'s but that does also depend on their height/weight.

Baron has just turned 6 months old and has topped 25 pounds. The vet put him on a diet already.

I saw differences in my two boys after a year old. We never give up on evaluating a pup til about 18 months...their toplines can level off and they will fill in more. We don't look at weights...most of your show males weigh more then the ideal standards state..its the overall appearance and look of the dog. As long as they don't look course or overdone nor racy, then he's fine. Height is 10-12 inches...leg length is 40% of back length..many don't drop their chest til after a year as well. Once your Corgi puts on more of the adult seasoned features..he will present as being bigger as well.

Hayden has been up to 38lbs, now he is 35lbs and we are still working at getting his weight back to 28-30 where he was at a year old. They will eat you out of house and home if you allow them. Hayden actually steals Spencer's food. I try to feed them separately but Spencer is very picky with food and does not eat all his food at once. Spencer the doxie stays around 9-10lbs mostly.
