You...I'm going to join in on this blog hop....<br /><br />Your guys look great. I think mine are good too, maybe Broo is a bit too big but he barely gets anything and exercises like crazy. Bentley on the other hand could maybe gain a bit more.<br /><br /> Such a simple and important factor to dog health!Boss Mare Eventinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039910692009593158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-83691015010888593492013-01-09T11:06:29.202-08:002013-01-09T11:06:29.202-08:00Love this post!

So many people don't even know what a good weight looks like. <br /><br />http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zZvTtPKyvoA/T-TU5tNbCrI/AAAAAAAAFck/13qMRLhnVRM/s640/IMG_3073.JPGDomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-65606118050752122542013-01-09T10:48:10.477-08:002013-01-09T10:48:10.477-08:00I need to try and get some photos.

Because I do agility w/ Jimmy, I check his weight w/ the rib test religiously. Right now he needs to cut back and he's not happy about that! I feed raw as well plus training treats and scraps. He's been getting less and you would think I am starving the poor boy. My vet always comments on how svelte both boys are, and how nice and short I keep their nails. Both just basic maintenance if you ask me...<br /><br />Oh, and a nice bonus of keeping the dogs fit/trim...I stay a bit more fit/trim too!Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523449106100926340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-8441358499137216552013-01-09T10:17:18.463-08:002013-01-09T10:17:18.463-08:00Looks like you all are in great shape!

He was very complimentary about Sephi and Maya's weight as well as how clean their teeth were. The vet's only seen Pierson once when I first got him. Pierson's gained weight since then but trust me when I say that is a good thing. I'm sure the vet will be pleased when he sees him next.Dawnhttp://americandogblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-45936781266887951762013-01-09T07:26:24.660-08:002013-01-09T07:26:24.660-08:00Great post!

Yes,...Thank you for participating in the campaign!<br /><br />Yes, weight is a guideline, but not ultimate measure. One of the reasons is that muscles weigh more than fat. So a leaner dog can actually be heavier than a chubby one. That's why the body condition score is important for the assessment.DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-21562257571080903352013-01-08T18:41:02.092-08:002013-01-08T18:41:02.092-08:00BEAUTIFUL dogs.

Each dog is unique but no one seems to embrace this) Your dogs look great, I think they're in perfect shape.Para Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240003371470952385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-19106594133851009242013-01-08T18:39:04.645-08:002013-01-08T18:39:04.645-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Para Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240003371470952385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-10584250396345579602013-01-08T16:19:38.069-08:002013-01-08T16:19:38.069-08:00People call Nola too thin all the time, when in re...People call Nola too thin all the time, when in reality she's the fittest Dachshund I've ever seen.

Our vet only told us to take of 3-5lbs when I reminded her that Sophie is active in flyball and dabbles in agility. <br /><br />Both of your guys look great!
