Pembroke Welsh Corgi Breed Profile & Growth Guide
Breed Overview
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi hails from Wales, where it was developed as a herding dog for cattle. Known for their short legs, sturdy build, and fox-like faces, Pembrokes are intelligent, affectionate, and brimming with personality. They are often eager to please, making them highly trainable, yet their strong herding instincts can make them a little bossy at times.
Size Category: Medium
Pembroke Welsh Corgis typically weigh 24–30 lbs as adults, with males generally being slightly heavier than females. While not a large breed, they have a long back and short legs, meaning excess weight can put them at higher risk for back and joint issues. Growth tracking helps ensure they develop strong muscles without carrying unhealthy extra pounds.

How Much Bigger Will My Pembroke Welsh Corgi Puppy Get?
Most Corgi puppies reach 50% of their adult weight by around 4 months. They tend to achieve their full adult height by 8–9 months, but they may continue to gain muscle and fill out until 12–14 months.
Rule of Thumb:
Double your puppy’s weight at 16 weeks for a good adult weight estimate.
Note:
While most medium breeds finish growing before 1 year, some Corgis may continue to refine muscle tone into their second year.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi Growth Tips
Nutrition
- Feed a high-quality medium-breed puppy food with adequate protein and healthy fats.
- Offer three meals per day until 6 months, then switch to two meals daily.
- Monitor calorie intake closely—Corgis are prone to obesity, which can strain their back and joints.
Exercise
- Provide short, frequent walks and safe play sessions for puppies.
- Avoid excessive jumping from furniture to protect their spine.
- As adults, aim for at least 1 hour of activity daily to keep them fit and mentally stimulated.
Health Watch
Pembroke Welsh Corgis are prone to:
- Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)—maintain a healthy weight and limit high-impact jumps.
- Hip dysplasia—ensure controlled growth and proper nutrition.
- Obesity-related conditions—regular weigh-ins help catch weight gain early.
