Pembroke Welsh Corgi Weight Chart by Age
Adult male Pembroke Welsh Corgis typically weigh 11–14 kg (24–31 lbs) and females 10–13 kg (22–29 lbs). The American Kennel Club standard asks for no more than 30 lbs in males and 28 lbs in females, so a Corgi above the top of its range is usually carrying extra weight rather than extra frame.

Puppy ages are estimates, worked out from the breed's published adult weight and a typical growth curve for small breeds, not from a measured age-by-age study. Use them as a guide and watch your own dog's trend.

About the Pembroke Welsh Corgi
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi was bred in south-west Wales to herd cattle, nipping at heels and ducking under kicks on those short legs. It is a working dog in a small package: quick, alert, and far more athletic than its outline suggests.
Corgis are strongly food-motivated, which makes them easy to train and easy to overfeed. A thick double coat also hides a lot. A Corgi can gain a kilo without looking any different in photos, so the scale and your hands are more reliable than your eyes.
Weight matters more in this breed than the numbers suggest. A long spine on short legs is already exposed to intervertebral disc disease, and every spare kilo adds load to it. Corgis are also prone to hip dysplasia, and degenerative myelopathy can affect older dogs, where keeping a lean, mobile dog helps with day-to-day care.
Growth Milestones and Healthy Weight
- Expect a Corgi to be around two-thirds of its adult weight by six months, with growth slowing noticeably after nine months.
- Most Corgis reach adult height before their first birthday, then spend until about 15 months filling out through the chest.
- Weigh every two weeks as a puppy and monthly as an adult. On a 12 kg dog, a 1 kg gain is more than 8% of body weight.
- Check condition by feel: push through the coat to find the ribs, and look for a waist from above when the coat is wet or flattened.
- Measure meals rather than free-feeding, and keep treats under 10% of daily calories. Corgis beg with real commitment.
- Favour steady walks and controlled play over repeated jumping on and off furniture, which strains the back.
- Ask your vet about any reluctance to jump, a hunched posture or weakness in the back legs, as these can be early signs of spinal trouble.

No urgent concern
Nothing here needs a vet right now.
Bruno weighed 21 kg at his last check on 2026-02-21. That's on the leaner side for an adult male Doberman, so ask your vet to check his body condition and set a daily calorie target.
