Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast a Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
Cardigan puppies grow quickly for their first six months and reach close to adult height by about 10 months. They keep filling out through the chest and shoulders until around 14 to 18 months. An 8-week-old puppy often weighs 3 to 4 kg.
Protect the back and joints during growth. Limit jumping on and off furniture, carry young puppies on stairs, and avoid long, repetitive runs until they are fully grown. Keep puppies lean, since carrying extra weight on developing joints increases strain. If your puppy walks stiffly, wobbles in the rear or cries when lifted, speak to your vet.
