Artos - what a great job you've done. Our very own Go Corgi analyst.

One thing is that some members have produced incorrect measurements (height and length) in measuring from or to the wrong place.
However, Taylor is three years old and currently weighs in at just over 25 lbs (11.4 kg).

Debbie seems estatic that Taylor is an inch (actually, less than an inch) over the so called height standard, but in all the years I have been to conformation shows under many local and foreign judges, and many of them specialist Corgi judges, and been around Corgi conformation showing people and breeders, not one judge has ever measured a Corgi nor have I ever heard of such a thing having occurred. Anyway, as I have so often said, Corgis are getting bigger - longer, higher and more weighty so the standard to a certain extent in this regard is, quiite rightly, largely iignored. The Best of Breed Pembroke at the NZ national show was all of 35 lbs (my estimation only) - and the judge was a foreigner and world rated. I would not wish to have a male Pembroke at 10 inches in height - yet again, that height falls within the so called standard.
