Hey guys,
Not sure if I am just over thinking this or not but is my dog overweight?
He will be 6 months olf in 2 days and he weighs 39lbs, he is 20" tall and 20" long (measured from shoulders to back of rear legs)
Now I am comparing him to full grown V's I met over the weekend and they seemed quite tall and lean, but muscular.
Kian has lots of skin to grow into, you can pull pretty much an inch and a half's worth from his shoulders. He gets walked everyday at least 60-90 minutes and every other day he gets let off leash to run around for a good 30-45 minutes. Maybe I am just over analysing his growth and comparing him to full grown adults.
This is him this past friday after running around for an hour.
When he puts his head down to eat or sniff you can see his last three ribs but not when he is standing.
