An adult male dog should be acceptable at 20-26 pounds, but the most important thing is not just the number.

How big can a female Corgi grow?

An adult female Corgi can reach a shoulder height of 9.8-11.4 inches (25.0-29.0 cm) and a weight of 22.0-24.3 pounds. (10-11kg).

Corgi Standard Length and Weight

When standing naturally, the shoulder height of both males and females ranges from 10.5 to 12.5 inches. The ideal ratio of height (the vertical distance between the shoulder and the ground) to length (the horizontal distance between the sternum and the back of the buttocks and the ischial prominence) is about 1:1.8. The ideal weight is 30 to 38 pounds for males and 25 to 34 pounds for females. Inconsistent overall proportions, either too large or too small are serious flaws.

Corgi’s standard body shape

The Welsh Corgi’s hips are slightly downward and tilted towards the tail. The tail is set low relative to the body and extends to the hock. When standing and strolling, the tail hangs straight down; when he suddenly runs, the tail is raised parallel to the ground; when excited, the tail is raised upward, but never curled over the back. A high tail is a serious fault.
