everyone says my dog is too skinny?

I have the same problem with one of mine. Gets twice the food that the other 2 do and I can't keep it on him. Vet says he is fine. Metabolic rate must be off the charts. Like when I was a teenager!!!:D

Same problem I had with my GSP Willi when he was younger. Even now at 7 years old and neutered, he's a solid 65 lbs of muscle on the same amount of food as prior to being neutered. I really thought I would have to cut way back, but not so.

As Bleu said, some have metabolisms that are turbocharged and some not so much. Feed according to activity level and of course body shape and you'll be fine. Nice looking dog Holymoses.

Well....thanks guys. Sounds silly but it was really starting to bother me. I want my dog to be as healthy as he can be and was starting to question my thinking.
 
I am thinking I should get some t-shirts made that say:

"My dog isn't skinny...." on the front, and

"Your dog is just fat"....on the back.

What you guys think?:D
 
I use a different program from my computer....but from my phone, you pull up the picture.Up top where f/b ,twitter etc are located you hit the broken chainlink. That will pullup another tab from there you hit direct link and that will copy it. Back at the uph you hit that little postcard with the image of the mountain on it. Paste it there.
Should look something like http/ photo.... not http/http/ photo...
Preview your post and youll be able to tell if loaded correctly.

Thanks I think I got it. If you can shoot a nail in it, or put a screw in it I am pretty good. My kids laugh at me and my computer prowess:D

Haha! I love it, I'd buy one.:D

Tom. Nice looking dog! I especially like the one asleep on his feet in the truck bed. My dog has that same look after about 5 or so days straight of hard hunting.:cheers:
 
I take it as a compliment when folks tell me my dogs are too skinny. Most over feed their dogs. One dad from my sons baseball team told me, "I never realized how fat my dog is until she stood next to yours" I chuckled as this guy is pushing 300. When we rescued our female, I stated to the lady, " She needs to loose 5 lbs." Lady says shes not fat. True, not fat, but not buffed either.
