I think he is too skinny now! Or is he just fit?
So, over the hot summer..Max developed a layer of baby fat.
 In preparation for our show, he went on a diet and I really upped his exercise.Now that it has cooled off, Max has become a "Chuck-it" junkie!! Our space to run is about 300 yards long and he sprints for a good hour several times a day..with pool breaks mixed in for good measure. Anyway, after he went for a dip yesterday..I thought...yikes! he looks like I have been starving the poor guy. I dont know..does he look fit or just tooo dang skinny? (my sister has labs..so my perception is skewed) I dont want people to think I hold back on the groceries when we go out and about! Thats not how I operate! What do you guys think?

He looks fit to me. And that you want to do agility with him, you need to keep him extra lean. That was a hard thing to grasp when I first started agility. Pimg looks exactly like Max does right now, you just can't tell it because she's fluffy/plush coated. Nice stomach tuck, good loin, and good rear muscling. He looks good!

 )We will blame his length on the V Mike vom Weinbergblick in his blood! Although, since he has shaped up a bit and got more muscling on top, I think he looks better.

When you're worried a dog is underweight because you see bones, or a lot of tuck - or whatever, check out the muscle mass. An underweight dog will have diminished muscle and will not be so toned. He looks perfect. I wish more people would keep their GSD in such good shape.
This is mine, at average pet weight.  And him when I keep him fit.   He's a lot happier and more energetic when he's fit and lean. And since you're talking about labs! I have that comparison too! This is a Yellow lab in fit/athletic condition:  And pet weight (who needs to lose a few and be exercised more IMO):
