I'm with Ashley. I like to see my pups leaner rather than 'chunky'. I've been trying to keep a faint outline of Ivy's ribs. In fact, a lot of people ask me if she's a Dobe/Greyhound mix =P

I don't think Miss Boxer is too skinny. 2 or 3 pounds wouldn't hurt, but remember that Pittie we saw at the Berkeley Marina park? He was *so* buff yet you could see the faint outline of his ribs. I pretty much wish my dogs (and I) could be like that I think that's the type of body your friend's boxer has and I actually really like it haha
