Following on from previous thread... how's she looking?

[NellRosk]

Following on from the thread saying my pug x jack russell had lost a bit of weight on raw, what do you all think to her weight? I'd much rather see a dog a bit under than over, however being half pug I'm tempted to think she could do with an increase in food as she's meant to be a chunky little thing. She's never still for more than a second so these are the best pics I could get!

She's got rolls of fat on her shoulders - she's definitely not underweight stop worrying x

At the risk of sounding like I'm making excuses, they're just little pug rolls! If you feel them they're more like loose skin than fat but thanks haha! x

Even with taking breed into account, she does not look underweight to me!!

She looks fine if a little overweight to me! As Fides says, stop worrying and I certainly wouldn't be looking to put any more weight on her.

Oh good! I was worried because her belly slopes up and is looking a little 'greyhoundy'

Looks a little stocky to me, I'd actually want some weight off her! I wouldn't worry, she's definitely not skinny!

I'll stop worrying then

she does not have much of a waist from above and she does looks to have rolls of fat over her shoulders, if her belly did not go up from her chest she would be grossly over weight-I would want a little more off her ideally if she was mine

I think you need to remember she's half pug! Yes a lot are overweight but the breed is stocky and thickset. Ruby's shoulders are skin rolls and not fat, I can vouch for that!

Another who would want to get a bit more weight off her tbh.
