I would tend to keep dogs apart when it come ot food. Like when it is meal time, don't feed the dogs alongside each other. Different rooms or areas. Having said that, at Corgi picnics with the Corgi walking group I run, I always give Taylor a large Eukanuba biscuit. I am the only handler with something specific for my Corgi. So nearly always, at least one of the other Corgis grabs a piece of the biscuit - last occasion, Taylor only ended up with a third of the biscuit - with two others 'sharing.' And there has never been any angry dispute. But all the regular Corgis in the club ie 26 of them, all get along famously well. I wouldn't have the other Corgis around if it came down to a bowl of food. If nothing else, Corgis will fight over food - specific bones for dogs would be the worse thing to trigger off a possession war. But we don't want Corgis to feel that they need to guard their food nor do we want then to hurry their eating of their food - anymore than the speed they already go with food consumpion - through feeling under pressure.
So if your Corgi is a protector of his food, it is not unusual and I would therefore recommned that you consciously keep him away from other dogs when he is eating or when you are giving him something to eat.
