First off, gotta say excellent name for your pup...I too have a Franklin! :-) Second, corgis mature like a large breed dog, they won't reach their adult weight until around 2 years old. Your little Franklin still has a ways to go. My Franklin was skinny/lanky until he was about 1 1/2, he was always fed high quality food in HUGE portions and he never put on weight. Then over the course of a month or two when he was about 1 year 8ish months old he gained 6 pounds, and then continued to gain by about 1/2 pound increments until he was about 2. He is now close to 3, has stopped gaining weight and is just shy of 30 pounds but is still a tad on the skinny side (where I plan to keep him). My Franklin was 7 pounds when I got him at 9 weeks old and stuck around 18 pounds for a good 8 months or so before he started getting longer and then filling out.
