How tall is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi?

What a Cardigan Welsh Corgi’s height measures

Height is measured at the withers, the top of the shoulders. The head and ears extend above that line. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale standard gives Ideal 30 cm. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (12 in), the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is the joint 33rd smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 12 in: Miniature Schnauzer, Pug and Beaver. Same drawing, different listings: a Miniature Schnauzer’s and a beaver’s figures are each the lower end of its range.

This is a published species or breed reference, not a prediction for an individual animal. Where a range is supplied, both ends appear with the reading. Shoulder height and head height are kept apart when comparing animals.
