Corgi weight

So a few months ago, we went to a class for dog breeders and went with my fiancé's stepmom. Alot of people have commented on Moises weight saying "he's the smallest corgi they ever seen". He is only a little over a year old and he eats normally, but he doesn't gain weight. When we went to the vet last he was around 17 pounds. Will he just eventually bulk up on his own? Somedays the comments of "he's so skinny" and "he's such a skinny corgi" bugs me Somedays like they think we are bad owners or something. We walk him everyday and he eats everyday. The vet hasn't said his weight isn't bad though either. The event we went to was for people learning how to be judges.

If he's a 5 on the chart, then he's perfect. Like others have said, people usually see overweight corgis and think they are supposed to look that way.
Ella was 17lbs forever, so I understand your concern. Right around the 18 month mark she settled in at 22 lbs, and has been that since. Boys due way a little more, but if he's on the smaller side he may not.
As long as your guy plenty of play/walk time and has a steady (measured) meal plan then he'll be just fine.
