Yes I'm bragging!! She's such a BIG girl! - Page 5

Carmen, your thoughts on breedings and lines are so interesting. Did you ever get the PM's I sent you?

Oh, and to the OP: she is a gorgeous dog. Honestly, I can't tell much from the picture. Rocket is 26 weeks, 6 months today, and he is 64 lbs. The thing is, he's really not that interested in eating out of his bowl, he mostly gets it in training. I measure out about 4 1/2 cups of Orijen LB puppy food a day. Somedays he eats all of it, somedays not. He also gets some chub training treats, from natural balance too. I can stand over him and see his narrowing of his chest to his hips quite markedly, and I can feel his ribs. From the side, though, he looks big to me, and I don't know if that's because his coat is a bit long. If you can feel her ribs easily, I wouldn't worry about it. If you can't maybe you should consider letting her grow into her size a bit more.

Either way, I'm sure she is a wonderful pup!

Same name, same pup along with all of your litter annoucements.

So what if it is.....
There is an introduction section on the boards that most people use for first posts by the way.....

Agree with Carmen....she is a beautiful specimen.....dogs don't usually have "fat" legs.....it is usually called "bone"...

Yes I'm aware of the intro section, however, I'm not most people. I've been reading this board for a long long time and have never been so inclined to post until now.

No 'if' to it. She stated she would be breeding her, she has several 'studs', it's pretty obvious how it will play out. Hopefully she will get involved in some type of training and upgrade her program.

I think Carmen eloquently called them "leg timbers" which I found both accurate and funny!

There are none so blind as those who WILL not see.

Pretty sure it's not her thick legs that's making everyone think she's overweight.

Like I mentioned in my first post, it may just be the angle. If the op is really interested in knowing if the dog is overweight, just post a few better pictures. Preferably a side and top shot.

Point being ---- OP never asked.

And I don't think he is interested in that seeing that he posted this thread in the brag section and not the critique my dog one. In addition to this I have not read one single comment from him asking what anyone thought of his dogs weight, and due to the fact that he has not posted in hours I wonder if he wasn't offended by his dog being criticized.

Well the whole point of this thread was a brag about how "She's such a BIG girl!", so yeah, she did start a thread and it is discussing the dogs size.

She may not have asked directly if her dog was fat, but she sure did bring up the subject. How the members on this board want to dissect the subject is up to us.

Who cares why she hasn't posted in hours. Maybe she just has better things to do than argue with strangers over the internet. Your guess is as good as mine.
