This is an important topic. And one I'm done being nice about.. YOUR CORGI'S WEIGHT‼️

This is Otis. He is 9 years old. He has NEVER weighed more than 30 lbs - and today, he weighed in at the vet at 27lbs. And I am NOT concerned with this weight drop.
Why?
Because Otis is fit, healthy and proportionate for his size. He looks GOOD. He has a waist and a shape, and that shape isn't "SAUSAGE."

Too many people seem to think that corgis are "cHoNkY WiTtLe cOuCh pOtAtOes." NO. They are athletic working dogs who were bred to work and herd cattle. They are intelligent energetic dogs.

🚫CHoNkY is NOT CUTE.🚫
It is unhealthy and dangerous - especially considering they are a short, long, dwarf breed.
Being overweight can cause stress on their hips, their back, their joints, etc.

In the 17 years that I have owned corgis, I have always kept them on a strict feeding regiment to keep them at a healthy weight. This is incredibly important because corgis have the tendency to become overweight very rapidly.

Admittedly, it took me awhile to get his just right. JUST too much a day would make him too fat. JUST too little would make him too thin. Food makes a difference, seasons make a difference.. there are so many factors that play a role here.

Otis is on a higher quality food and eats one cup in the morning and three-quarter cup at night. Low calorie treats are given in moderation & he gets plenty of exercise!

Unfortunately another problem I see, is VETS even telling people that they're overweight corgi is "just fine" when this is FAR from true. And I will NEVER understand that.

I've had too people tell me that they think my dog is underweight.. the problem is not that my dog is underweight, the problem is that people are so used to seeing overweight fat dogs and thinking that is normal.

This idea of CHONKY dogs needs to stop being normalized for the sake of dogs' health.

I mean, I don't know about you but I want my dog to live long healthy life. But if you want your dog to die early because you can't stand to put it on a fu***ng diet - I feel bad for your dog.

Because by doing this, you are blatantly NEGLECTING your dog's health needs -plain and simple.

It's been quite a year. A lot of ups and downs. I know I haven't been as active on here but I'm gonna try to get some pictures posted I've received recently from families ❤️

Emma-lama-ding-dong is just out here living her best life! It makes me so happy to see my puppies out there having so many fun adventures with their amazing families! And I'm not surprised Emma enjoys kayaking - a littermate of hers is actually a big kayaker, too haha!

A cousin of mine should be coming up next week to take this baby home!🥹 I'm so excited !

Today we said goodbye to our spunky little Rain! My sweet mismark baby is going off to live her best life with her sister Cabot from our SVU litter!! Not only that, but she will frequently get to visit with her brother, Plum, sister Rollins and half brother Loki (FKA Grump)! I'm sure this little firecracker is gonna keep her new mom on her toes lol. 😍❤️

Oh sweet Amethyst- she is such a sweet soul... until she goes after your fingers lol. Herding breed puppies, amirite?!😆 We work diligently to teach our puppies not to bite hands while they're with us. Now, it's not magic but practice makes progress and the babies are learning. 😄

Amethyst is more laid back than the others but she is still a very silly, fun & playful puppy, and something about her just make you go, "awwww 🥹" .

Those big brown eyes and sweet little face are hard to say no to, but make sure you do because otherwise she'll take advantage of you lol 😂

Lavender went to her new home today 🥹🥹 her mom is hoping that one day she will work as a therapy dog! And I know this sweet girl is destined for great things, so I am so excited to see where her journey takes her!

Luckily for me, she will actually be staying pretty close and I'll get to see her again soon 🥹❤️

Hey there Otis Jr. lol

04/02/2026

These 3 girls are the only 3 left!

They are all very sweet puppies.

Lavender is particularly into people and is the first one to come running when we call! I think she would make a great puppy for anyone wanting to get into dog sports that involve you and your dog working as a team.
She is doing really well in the crate, and settles quickly!

Rain is also happy for people but she is a little bit more independent than Lavender. She is not too chill but not too spunky either- she is very middle of the road! She does well in the crate but takes a little longer to settle than her sisters. She just wants to be part of all the fun going on in the house lol.

Amethyst is super chill compared to the others. She reminds me a lot of her dad in that aspect- Otis was always a very chill puppy. She is also very sweet and will lay her head on my shoulder when I pick her up. She can be a little more independent and she loves to explore and wander lol. She is doing very well in the crate and settles quickly.

They're all very playful and enjoy toys, and chasing ducks lol. They get along with other dogs, and kids of all ages. Unfortunately with the passing of our sweet Leonardo last year, they haven't had much exposure to cats because our other little one won't come anywhere near them lol. 😂

They have also done great for baths and nails, and even trimming of their paw pads. They do well in the car and have gone on trips of up to an hour (one way) with no issues.

They will all be UTD on all shots, worming, and will go home with a goodie bag that contains some toys, treats, chews, their vet folder, a blanket, etc.. I have also come to LOVE the Pupsicle and plan on adding those to puppy bags this time around! They are wonderful for keeping them busy, and doing crate time. And you can even buy a mold to make the refills yourself!!

I will also make sure everyone's registration is done as well, so you won't have to worry about that.

They will come with LIMITED registration- so while no one will be able to show (which was never the plan anyway) you will still be able to enter and compete in other AKC sports like agility, rally, barn hunt, FastCAT, etc., which I highly recommend you doing!

If you are in our area, I can suggest a few great places to go for an AKC STAR Puppy class. These classes are great for socialization, learning and bonding, and even allows you to put a title on your puppy!!

There is a puppy application to fill out if you haven't already.

This is my very last litter, so I have been very emotional about them and they are particularly special to me. So I will be even more picky than I usually am about placements.

As always, I offer free boarding to my past puppies if you ever need to go out of town on vacation or something. We love to see our "grandpuppies" 🤣

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out!

As with any breed, please do your research and know what you are getting into. Corgis are a WORKING breed and need physical and mental stimulation. They aren't fluffy couch potatoes, and they are not meant to be "chonky." Being a short long dog, ideal weight on them is super important!

But they are very smart, loyal, and SUCH fun dogs with so much personality! ❤️

One of these is not like the others 🤣
