How big can a male Corgi grow Adult male Corgis can reach 11.0-12.2 inches (28.0-31.3 cm) in height at the shoulder and 22.0-28.5 pounds (10.0-12.8 kg) in weight. An adult male dog that should be 20-26 pounds is acceptable, but the most important thing is not just the number, if the bones are thin, but the weight of the Corgi will be a great skeletal burden and prone to very heavy problems in old age. How big can a female Corgi grow An adult female Corgi can reach a shoulder height of is 9.8-11.4 inches (25.0-29.0 cm) and can weigh 22.0-24.3 pounds (10-11 kg). Female Corgis have smaller shoulder heights and weights than males, and these differences are due to differences in skeletal strength and thickness between the sexes, with females being smaller in size compared to males.
Corgi Standard Length Weight When standing naturally, both males and females have a shoulder height of between 10.5 and 12.5 inches. The ideal ratio of height (vertical distance from the shoulder to the ground) to length (horizontal distance between the sternum and the back of the hip where the sit bones protrude) is approximately 1:1.8. The ideal weight for males is 30 to 38 pounds and for females is 25 to 34 pounds. Inconsistent overall proportions, too large or too small, are serious defects. The standard body shape of the Corgi The Welsh Corgi is slightly downward at the hips and sloping toward the tail. The tail is positioned low in relation to the body and extends to the fly joint. When standing and strolling, the tail drops straight down; when he suddenly runs, the tail is raised parallel to the ground; when excited, the tail is raised upward, but never curled behind. A high tail position is a serious defect. Corgi Morphological Characteristics Medium-sized ears, erect and upright, with rounded tips, brown or black eyes, oval in shape. The eyes are not prominent, with black circles and clear corners. The mouth and nose are compact and the hair is sparse. The chest tapers toward the tail and is thinnest at the waist. The hind legs are well muscled and slightly less wide than shoulder width. The coat is of moderate length, with a short and thick layer of fleece and a long outer coat that can withstand various environmental conditions. The hair length of the whole body varies, and the hair is slightly thicker and longer in the week of the neck, chest and scapula.
