    Corgis

    This is a question for all the corgi owners: My Tootsie will be 2 in July, was just wondering what your corgis weigh? She weighs about 20 lbs. Also how much do you feed daily? Tootsie gets 1 cup daily of EP Holistic and usually some canned mackeral at night. Just wondering.[:)]

    My 5 1/2-month-old male corgi, Shippo, weighs about 20 lbs now. He gets 1 1/2 cups of Canidae All Life Stages per day. I'm told that at adulthood, he could reach 30 lbs, and that's what the AKC website says so it seems about right. >^^;<

    the standard weight for a corgi is 25-30lbs :)

    She is not underweight in my eyes. I don't want her any weightier because most corgis to me seem huge and overweight.Shippo weighs 20 lbs already? Maybe the hair has a lot to do with it.

    keep her lean, both of you will be better for it as she ages.

    Scooter is on what my neighbor calls "a starvation diet" he eats 2ounces twice a day of Innova and he's 32lbs plus he gets his flossie fix once a day and some munchies when he gets to go over to my neighbors house (which is pretty often) so thats why I feed him a little less ;plus he's looking a little tubby right now so I'm trying to watch what he eats at my neighbors house.
    I agree w/ mrv, keep her lean.

    Wow! 32 lbs? Thats big. How old is Scooter? By the way where have you been?

    Ya..he's a tubby.  I'm trying to watch his weight a lot now..no more extra treats!  I asked my vet about his size cuz she has corgis and she said for his size he looks good and not overweight, but she did tell me to be careful because if he gains more that will be bad.  He is 1yr and 5 months.
    I've been lurking around, haven't posted as much, but I'm still here!! :)

    Egan is 4  months old and weighs 13 lbs, he eats Eagle Pack 1 1/2 cup daily.
    Darci is 2 yrs old and weighs 26 lbs ( last week ) she eats Eagle Pack 3/4 cup daily. Last yr Darci had got up to 31 lbs, our vet quickly warned us of her wt and we started working on it, she's lost it now and looks and feels much healthier.
     
    Btw we just added Eagle Pack to our rotation and I have been very happy, they seem to have increased their energy level.

    I dont think Tootsie looks thin at all, I just think she's a petite corgi.
    They dont do well with their hips if they carry to much weight.

    I personally would like Darci to take off another 2 lbs.

    Egans parents were both between 22 - 24 lbs.
     
     
    In my Avatar Darci was about 29 lbs.

    Well, he was weighed after I posted that, and turned out to be about 18.5 lbs instead, but by that time I forgot about this thread lmao. The vet felt him over and said that he's a perfect weight. His weight gain is slowing down now that he's reached 6 months. Now he will slowly reach his 25-30lbs. >^^;<
