Opinions on weight

[Finvarra]

Just wanted to add that Dylan is 16 kilos, and is definitely slim. He is a big boy, there were only three in his litter so I guess he was well provided for  equivalent of a tall person I suppose. Actual weight is not the guiding factor really, but the feel of the dog's body under your hands.

Many years ago I used to help runs show training club and had my hands on many different breeds. I remembered being shocked when I handled a Pekingese, they look so chubby, but there is a tiny little dog under all that hair!

I agree with everyone else he look just fine and very handsome 
I keep Ben on the slim side because of his back and my OH made me check with the vet because he thought he was too thin.  The vet said he was just perfect

He looks in super shape and still very handsome. Ernest making him run around must help.

Morning All,

Its so long since I have been on here but love looking at all the photos :-)

Just noticed this thread. Robbie has had a weigh in today 15.5kg! He was advised to lose a couple of kilos. Vet said he could feel the ribs but with pressure and the waist line was not as indented as it should be (wasn't sure if he was talking about Robbie or me!)

Anyway I am for sure guilty of tit bits so today I have told my boy NO MORE!!!! Can see him starving is his dreams already ha ha .

Seriously though they are all different shapes and sizes and some need to fatten up and some need to lose. I think as long as you are on top of things and have the dogs health at heart. xx

Perfect, I wish Teal looked like that we have both grown fat over the winter
