DIllon is a rather large corgi ( comes from somewhat larger stock) he is now 14 months old and is about 28 lbs- I took dillon off the puppy food at about 4 1/2 months of age ( I talked to my vet and Dillon's breeder about best times to take them off the puppy food to avoid him gaining too much weight and that was their recommendation. I never believe what i read on the pet food bags, they want you to feed way too much. This is what dillon eats ( and incidently has been eating same amounts since i took him off the puppy food- he gets a mixture of 1/2 cup of Wellness lamb and sweetpotato dry mixed with about 2 tablespoons of wellness lamb and sweet potato canned food mixed with about 2 tablespoons of organic lowfat plain yogurt and he gets this twice a day. I don't give him a lot of cookies or treats- and his cookies tend to be little pieces of his dry food. I am trying not to let him get overweight becuase of the issues that corgis can have with their backs when they are too heavy. When viewed from above you should see a definate waist, hour-glass figure.
