bullmastiff 615 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Most people are used to owning and seeing fat Labs and barrel shaped Terriers so when they see a dog with a waist they worry and if they see a rib they panic! I think most people that own not just Lurchers but any working dog will of had comments about their dog being thin. Don't worry about it. As long as the dog's happy, lively and active then I wouldn't worry too much. Quote Link to post

nellandbran 8 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I don't think its a bad thing for a 8 month old pup to be a bit over weight, she's gonna run it off soon with the new season coming up. The general public are very naieve, about sight hounds I'm always getting comments about mine. Your pup is lovly by the way she looks really well, good luck with her, lorna Quote Link to post

Tiff 36 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 if questioned just say something like "a marathon runner has a different body type than a sumo wrestler" it's even better if they have a fat dog Quote Link to post
