Thanks Debbie for the information. It is very helpful.

We have a 12 week Pembroke named Max and as of today, he is 7.5 lbs. He was 6 lbs just a week ago. Previously we were unknowingly underfeeding him but within the last week, we have really bumped up his Science diet puppy food servings quite a bit to try to get him caught up to what he should be in weight. He's getting about 1.5+ cups plus assorted treats. Wish we knew about the "1 lb per week age" rule of thumb earlier. Our vet thinks underweight is much better and thinks Max's weight and size is fine and that he is healthy. He just thinks Max could just be a small corgi. I don't think he knows his Pembroke puppies too well. Max looks and acts healthy and both his ears just stood up today so we are sure he is pretty healthy, albeit very small and underweight.
