Default How Do Their Bodies Look?

I want to know your opinion! Are they too thin, just right or too heavy? How many pounds should they lose or how many pounds should they gain?

Sinister ~ Will be 3 years old in 2 months, 28' at the shoulder and between 80-85 pounds. He gets 4 cups a day of Wellness Core.





Malice ~ Will be 7 months old in 5 days, not sure how tall she is, haven't weighed her in a while but I would guess she's around 50 pounds. She gets fed 4 cups of Wellness Super5Mix for large breed puppy.

I think they both look great, altho it's really hard to tell with black dawgs

I dont want FAT or even chunky dogs, I like them streamlined

Yes, it is hard to tell.

When Malice moves you can slightly see her ribs, you can easily feel them too.

Sin has longer hair, you cant see his ribs but you can slightly feel them.

I definitly do not want a fat dog, I do not want them carrying any extra weight.

It is hard to tell with black dogs. Trust me know..... Otto is black too.
I think they both look great! I cant believe Malice is almost 7 months.
