Acutally it's the large dogs, that need to grow slower. They've now created "large breed puppy foods" that are lower in protein and fat than the normal puppy formulas. That's so they don't grow as fast. So the extra protein and fat isn't necessarily a good thing for a puppy.

Corgi's however don't grow as big compared to their original birth weight.

No, but there have been growth problems in corgis too. I've heard of several that have had panosteitis and similar problems and they're thought to be due to accelerated growth, most likey encourgaed by puppy foods.
