just wondering what is peoples options on a dogs weight and how much bone (pins) and rib that should be showing if any at all.Seen few people that dont mind they dogs pins showing but know few that like there dogs run with bit off weight on them.

My own two are so different with there weight my pup 14 months does not put on weight what so ever and tried everything beef chicken meal etc etc she just keeps at the same weight but her dam puts on weight so easy and is well over weight at the moment injuries dont help .

never weighed my dog but cant see his pins unless he is walking long strides, i like to keep him this way till the cold nights really hit then i will bump him up a bit .. also to add my dog will show about 4 ribs (last ones) to me he is at his perfect weight to run like this

 

girlfriends dog is always a bit heavy, show him food and he seems to put weight on i put that down to being the beardie collie in him , he would survive of just the table scraps if thats all he got
