    Fat or Skiny

    How can you tell is your dog is to fat of to skiny. It's easy with dogs that don't have long hair, but i can't really tell the diference with Foxy beacuse of him very long hair.

    As I have been told and seen on charts at the vets, if you can see the ribs (except in certain breeds, e.g. Salukis) the dog is too thin. If you can feel the ribs easily and there is a definite "waist" noticeable, that's "just right." If you can't feel the ribs, doggie needs to lose some weight!

    it is weired and hard to tell for Tikeya. She gets soo much hair during the months of winter. Then sheds it all off in the summer. So she looks fat in the winter and when all the undercoat comes off she looks perfect. I think your pup looks great .
