I have never heard of a Corgi that didn't love to eat. Spock is no exception, and he has ways of making it known that he would REALLY appreciate meat/cheese/dog treat/peanut butter/toast/ ANYTHING.
But Corgi owners need to be very careful about their Corgi's weight. Spock weighs around 22 pounds, which seems like a good size for a very small Corgi, but is definitely on the small size for a Corgi. The average Pembroke should weigh 25-30 pounds, and the average Cardigan 30-38.
These are just generalizations. Some Corgis, like Spock, will weight less without being underweight. Some Corgis will weight more without being obese. It depends on the overall size of the dog. Ideally, you should be able to tell where the ribs are and feel them easily, but you should not be able to count them.
This article from "The Daily Corgi" tells of a couple Corgis that were extreamly obese.
