Pembroke Welsh Corgi Size Charts & Growth Patterns – Month Wise 

Pembroke Welsh Corgis usually experience a rapid growth phase in the first 6 months of their life. Typically, they reach their full height around the time they’re 9 months old. By that time, they’ve also reached most of their adult weight. 

Based on that, we can predict that a Pembroke Welsh Corgi will reach half of its adult weight around the time they’re 4 to 5 months old. However, Pembroke Welsh Corgis continue to fill up until they’re around 14 months old. Some bigger pups might take even a bit longer, as smaller sized dogs usually grow faster. 

Understandably, doing all the calculations and guesswork can be a tedious task. That’s why we’ve created a Pembroke Welsh Corgi size chart and growth calculator that you can use to predict your puppy’s adult size. 

Although we can never predict a dog’s size with 100% accuracy, puppies usually do follow roughly the same growth patterns. Plus, it’s a fun way to understand what to expect once your puppy is fully-grown!

Tracking your puppy’s growth and development helps you notice any weight problems. Pembroke Welsh Corgis can become overweight if not fed properly, so make sure you keep an eye on your pup’s weight to keep them healthy and happy! Here you can read more about how much you should feed a puppy. 

Are There Different Sizes Of Pembroke Welsh Corgi?

A standard full-grown Pembroke Welsh Corgi is usually in the weight range of 22 to 30 pounds. However, male Pembroke Welsh Corgis tend to be slightly bigger than the females. By the American Kennel Club (AKC) breed standard, males should weigh no more than 30 pounds, and females should weigh up to 28 pounds.

Of course, a puppy Corgi’s size can be affected by quite a few factors. For instance, their parents’ size, how much food they eat, and how much they exercise. As Pembroke Welsh Corgis are prone to obesity, it’s important that your puppy gets the right amount of nutritious and healthy food, and plenty of exercise daily. Not only is this essential for your puppy’s proper development and growth, it also helps to minimize health concerns later on in adulthood.

On the other hand, keep in mind that puppies do need more nutrient and energy dense food than full-grown dogs. We always recommend feeding puppies specially formulated puppy food, which helps them grow into healthy adults. 

In addition, there’s also the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, who looks much alike Pembroke Welsh Corgi. However, there are a few differences between these two very similar Corgis. Most notably, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a little bit bigger, as they can weigh up to 38 pounds, whereas the average Pembroke Welsh Corgi size is up to 30 pounds.

Here you can see the size difference between Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Cardigan Welsh Corgi:

	Pembroke Welsh Corgi	Cardigan Welsh Corgi
Weight	22-30 pounds	25-38 pounds
Height	10-12 inches	10.5-12.5 inches

How Big Do Pembroke Welsh Corgis Get?

A Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s height is between 10 to 12 inches from the withers, so they generally look small. On the other hand, they have longer bodies set on short legs, which gives them the additional size. 

Usually, female Pembroke Welsh Corgis weigh around 22 to 28 pounds when fully-grown. Males tend to run a bit bigger, as their adult weight ranges between 24 to 30 pounds. 

A different formula you could use is:

1. Growth = current weight / current age in weeks
2. Adult weight = Growth x 52 (number of weeks in one year)

So, for example, if your 12-week old pup weighs 18 pounds. You simply divide the current weight by their age in weeks and multiply the result with 52:

If you’re adopting a puppy from a breeder, you can ask them about the sizes of the parent pups and how big the puppies usually are. They will surely have insights to share with you.
