We adopted the youngest of our three rescued Vs, a female, when she was 6 months old. She is now 2 1/2. She is shorter and smaller boned than our older two, and we expected her to stay fairly small. But recently, she started taking on a much wider build and now weighs 50 lbs. Her body is wide! We had expected her to keep the svelte back and shape that we are used to seeing in Vs.
Maddie is a very strong, muscular dog, and extremely active. She gets a high amount of exercise every day: running, playing ball, chasing chipmunks. She does not overeat and is fed only top-quality food and an occasional treat.
Is it possible this is just her breeding? She does not appear to have any health problems, but we are considering having our vet do a full blood work-up, which will be quite expensive. Anyone else have or know of a double-wide V?
