I definitely have an Itty Bitty Corgi. She was the runt of her litter and had to be removed to survive. When I got her at 4 months she was the average 8 week corgi puppy size. Since then she has grown to twenty pounds (but she is on a diet to loose an extra five pounds the vet says she should.) She is always called a puppy and she acts like it too! Lots of energy and a bit of rebel. She doesn't always do what she should do. She will look me in the eye and do the opposite of what I have asked her to do. (We are working on that!) But whatever faults she has she makes up for with being sooo sweet! Madigan is her name which on one Celtic website said it meant "little dog," but I just call her Maddie!

I think we have an Itty Bitty Corgi with a big personality. Rudy is a precious little Corgi at 15lbs and 7.5 months old and we're wondering how big she'll actually get. We have another Corgi,Dougy, who is pretty big at 29lbs. They are so cute playing together ,one small one big.

We're not small but our Belle is. At 19 months she is only 18 pounds but plays like a big dog.

You have a mini. We look for dog that size for our breeding program.

I suppose we're itty bitty on two fronts: I'm only 5'0, and my 8 month old dog seems to have topped out at a teensy-weensy 16 pounds! seeing her play with the other corgis at the dog park is almost funny!

I'm 5'1" and my husband Chris is 6'1 and the last time Murphy was at the vet's to be weighed (which was about a month ago) he weighed 11 lbs. but he's not even 5 months old yet so he's got a lot of time to get bigger. He's such a cutie pie and still can't believe he's our dog.

Actuall I am only 5'4" so am pretty short. Not itty bitty otherwise though darn it! My Corgis are not overweight but I am. Maybe I should try their food.

My little Randy is destined to be a smaller than average Corgi. He is smaller than his litter mates and much smaller than Leo was at the same age. Leo and Randy's mom is a very small Corgi and maybe Randy will take after her. Leo is 26.5# right now at 9 months which I think is perfect (isnt the breed standard for full grown males about 28#?) Leo does not look smaller than other Corgis to me but then I have not taken him around any full grown guys yet.

We wanted a Corgi for our son's first dog. I found a beautiful male that I thought was a perfect. I have never had male dogs and probably did something(s) wrong, but this pup grew ever aggressive and proved to be an inapropriate family pet as it would not respond to my training let alone that of the nine year old for whom he was intended. It took a while, but we found him a home with a lady who came all the way from Mississippi to adopt him. We have seen the dog over the years and his new owner agrees that he's got a bravo attitude and that she has made major adjustments to acclimate him. Not too long after I tried again with a female PWC who is now seven years old. This little female is very shy and though very sweet, hardly energetic. She never exhibited the characteristics we think of as typical of many Corgis. She seems to have no herding instinct, would never chase a ball or retrieve anything. If we try to walk her around the block she will tire, sit and refuse to go any further! I've sought advice as I never had Corgis, only terriers and shepherds. Both of our experiences with this breed have been unexpected and both dogs have almost opposite dispositions.
