Thanks Artos for your hard work - it's interesting to see them all lined up like that.

I've just had a horrible thought! What if, right now, in an alternate universe, our dogs are all on website called GoPeople posting our heights and weights!!!!

[Dillydoodle]

ROFL deb! They better not be ! That is so funny.. what a nightmere! (I can see the corgis now..."are you measuring your human correctly? no no silly you measure from the TOP of the head to the feet..." LOL

Emilie

[corgimom]

As long as they don't have to measure the derriere part

[Chip's Mom]

My Chip would be saying my human is a little overweight, I better eat her cookie

[milles2]

That would be a great web site to see. I know mine would be posting baout how starved they are, how slow Mom is when it comes to givng out ttreats.

See if you can find the link Deb!

Chloe whining "I'm hungry... you know Em if you would herd Mom into utility room she could get OUR food to us early! You need to walk those two pounds off her so she'd be faster!"

Emma "Mom is just Big Boned and a little bigger than the standard... Chloe you have much to learn little one - if we let her wander into the kitchen first then when she looks in the fridge food may fall on the floor and we get an extra snacky! Wait - did you hear that??? Cellophane - to the kitchen girlfriend!!!"

Bonnie - If show judges decided to measure and weigh each Corgi before they go into the show ring, it probably would place an uneven balance on all the other aspects that Corgis are judged on. For instance, is a 30 lb male Pem who looks proportionate to his size, a bigger fault because he weighs a few pounds more than the standard, a greater fault than a Pem with a dip in his topline, short coat, incorrect gait etc.
I have had two champion Pems in Conformation and another who went well and I didn't know the size or weight of any of them. Of the two champs, Ricky was underweight until he turned three and Troy was on the small scale of male Pems and his shortish coat accenuated his stature.

Jespah - Human obesity (and at the other end of the scale, human starvation) are becoming the worse problems facing mankind - though at least obese people do have some quality of life for a reasonable period of time.
The USA leads the world in obesity but a lot of other developed countries are following down the slippery path. It's to do with the emphasis on poor food and lack of effective exercise and participation in sport - fast food and the tv/computer world that is enveloping us all in developed countries and the generations under 40 are caught in this web.
New Zealanders on an average are now spending slightly more money per week on sugary substances and confection than they are on fruit and vegetables. The fast food industry here - led by McDonalds - spends $70 million a year on advertising whereas the horticultural industry (fruit and veges) spends $7 million.
Obesity not only restricts people in what they can do as they get older but there is the eventual breakdown in health which is a huge cost to a country.
So we do need a website where dogs can monitor their owners weight ratio to height. Mind you I am a good one to speak because my nervous energy alone keeps me slim no matter what I eat. But one can be slim yet unhealthy due to similar factors which make obese people unhealthy.

I]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[/I

Michael: I am not qualified to answer that question. I was just replying to your comment that I have shown above regarding corgis getting bigger. For the good of the breed, I personally think that breeders should stay within the standards set for the breed when choosing parents. If one purchases a puppy from a breeder they should expect to get a puppy that falls within the standard. For example, look at the AKC rotties. They have been bred to the point where many are disportioned in size - taller, longer legged than they should be which leads to all sorts of problems with their joints. I would hate to see that happen to our corgis.
