Well mate the dog looks fine to me , looks like its working fit . . As for spanable i don't know it . . . depends on the dogs drive to get in sure enough you may struggle in some tight spots but thats part of the game isn't it? None of my dogs are spanable and i have a fair pair of spanners but they still get to where we need to be . . Sounds lie you had a meeting with what i like to call one of the film stars of the business ... at the end of the day the dog looks well and if it works for you then good luck ! F@@k the filmstars
