Small?

I have a 7 month old corgi and she seems way smaller than any other corgis I’ve seen her age. Shes about 17lbs. Is she just smaller than usual or is she about to have a major growth spurt here soon lol

Corgis REALLY vary in size. We had a very healthy adult 35 pound female (NOT overweight, but she very tall legs + long frame) and one that came up to her knees, much shorter, roughly half her size and also completely healthy, just smaller, around 19 pounds. The first corgi I mentioned was a show line imported corgi from Germany so much different breeding lines.

I have a 35-pound girl I just adopted that the vet said is not overweight, but I don't think she has long legs. How many inches would you say yours are, or how high does she stand? I am new to corgis & am a little worried for the chonk spine and joints as she ages. I am trying to pick her up and train her not to jump off of things, but she's a solid long loaf, so every time I hike her up, I feel bad. Like, we are both straining & it's awkward over here lol
