Just from curiosity really. Saluki, 2 in February. I think she is still a little on the lean side although she has put on weight and muscle since she arrived (was about to be sent to a rescue centre). She has 4% bodyweight of raw, with some extra fats, treats, etc to try and keep the weight on. But she does get a lot of exercise so it's not easy!

Anyway her confo is more what I'm interested in, being our first sighthound. Her head looks a little bigger than in real life on the first photo but she's quite dainty and pretty really!



 
She is a very pretty colour, I haven't seen one that colour before, lovely.
There is a rhyme about longdogs but I can't remember the whole thing
Here, found it, Google is my friend

'a head like a snake,
a neck like a drake,
a back like a beam,
the sides of a bream, (fish)
be footed like a cat
and have a tail like a rat"
 
Llanelli's the girl for you to talk to. She keeps and breeds salukis, and very well, so I believe.

From my limited experience of the breed, and clearly your dog isn't working-fit, but I would say that she actually looks rather 'well'! Providing that a dog eats up, doesn't have an excessive worm burden and looks well in its coat, which yours seems to, then I think that she looks just fine! You're worrying about nothing. She looks terrific!

Alec.
