I'm not sure shedding has much to do with smell, all corgis are shedding champions ;) We use this wipe on Bryson at home after he goes out daily. He does smell fresher after wiping, and we particularly noticed the difference when we're on a trip recently when we forgot the wipe. But we also have a friend with a corgi who doesn't get wiped but always smell fresh like a daisy :) I guess corgis are like people, some with stronger BO than others :P

It could be a couple different things. It may be food related (others can tell you more about this than I can), sometimes dogs start to stink as they age (our labrador did this around the age of 9), or she could have a skin infection. Is this something new? Has she always shed a lot? I noticed that my puppy was starting to stink. Then he started to shed ALOT; all of a sudden. Finally, he developed severe dandruff. Turns out he has a bacterial skin infection. These are just a few ideas I have. There are certainly other reasons why he may stink.

I'm sorry, I just realized that your dog is a male. My apologies for my typo.

Corgis usually do not have an odor. I suspect that it would be a good idea to visit your vet. An odor is indicative that something is amiss.

We decided we should have named her Frita, since she always smells like corn chips. I did notice it's not her coat that smells, it really her feet! We wash her feet and she no longer smells...at least for a couple of days.
