    Cute dog!


    Please don't take offense ... is it just me, or does he looks rather thin??

    no offense taken!
    he is a little on the skinny side, i'll be upping his food
    i ran out of his regular food and forgot to order it so he's eating something else for now and apparently i'm not giving him enough(i keep him lean and fit so it doesnt take much for him to look too skinny)

    lol
    some people think a lean dog is a starved dog...others see a lean dog as a healthy dog
    i like him lean and healthy but i dont like to see his spine so i'll be putting a couple pounds back on him but not too much

    thank you!

    He's so handsome.

    Honestly, I find nothing wrong with a dog a little on the skinny side. It's better than being a little on the chunky side!

    I love seeing lean, fit dogs! Though I may be biased, since I apparently have the worlds skinniest GSD [ LOL ]

    Loved the pictures. He's a very handsome boy.

    I agree with you. A few more lbs in the hips and back legs. Eli is a
    handsome pup. How old is he ?

    p.s. You have a beautiful yard for a dog.

    Aww he's one handsome pup!
    Glad someone else commented on the weight.. I was wondering as well.
    I think some ribs is ok, like the last few before the waist.
    But not the spine... But I understand.
    Our Eli was a thin one when we got him.

    Funny thing is.. we call him 'Fat Head' too.

    I have always been in love with that boy of yours. He is an amazing looking dog.
    Man, if he used that face he has in the 2nd picture around here, he would be able to get away with just about anything! =D

    He's one of my favorites on Pet Talk, I always love seeing him. I am the same way with Finn that you are with Eli, we keep him fit and lean, and people always say he's too skinny. On occasion, they're right, if he's working really hard without an increase in his food. But, usually it's just because they're using to seeing thick labs. We have to watch Finn, though, too, to keep him at the right weight.

    Eli, I you!

    He'll be 5 years old on June 16th...man times flies!

    i do love my yard but havent gotten to enjoy it much this year but i hope to!

    thanks for all the compliments on Eli.
    everybody has different view points on how lean a dog should be and that's okay, like i said i keep him very lean and fit but i dont like to see his spine so just a couple more pounds back on him and he'll be perfect in my eyes
