well the vet would like him to gain some weight....

I can see his hip bones when he walks... I can feel his shoulders when
he stands...
if he was shaved down he'd look skinny with all his fur he looks
fine.

oh this is so hard... I just want my boy to be happy and healthy...
Best Wishes,
I can see my boy's hip bones when he walks. He's covered in lots (I mean
LOTS) of fuzzy hair.
I can see his ribs though the fuzz. My vet would like him to gain weight.
My vet is used to looking at fat (Not fit) dogs. When my boy goes in the
breed ring and is observed by his peers who know what this breed does and
SHOULD look like, he's always complemented on his conditioning.


I don't doubt it Diddy. Newfs need to be stockier and he is still a
puppy... he's not grossly underweight but I would like to see him
pick up about 15-20 pounds.....

Best Wishes,

Nessa
