Dogs weight.

[Dranny GLC 112]

What the best way to tell your dogs best weight. Iv been to my whippet is too thin but then he came 2nd out of 18 at a simulated coursing event 2 weeks ago. You don't see fat runners in the Olympics.

Stick them on the scales

Don't mind seeing a couple of ribs but a good covering all over the dog and not being able to see there pin bones on the hind quarters and that's where I like to keep them.

I like to just Abel to see the pin bones and ideally the last two three ribs my dog runs at 78lb that's his ideal working weight

I go by what they look like in general if the hips arent protruding and your dog isnt a skeleton then i wouldnt say its too thin.In saying that the dog handed in tonight id need to starve for a month to find her ribs shes the fattest lurcher ive ever clapped eyes on

This is my 'Harerunner' whippet she is 18"tts and weights 11.3kg and will probably loose abit more when she starts ferreting this season, but i am happy with her at this weight.

you will notice the longer the distance the thinner the runners get

Allot depends on their make up, a dog with more saluki blood in them will always show more bone structure than say a deer hound cross.

You should know if your dog is in a good condition or not.

There is a huge difference between an under weight dog showing ribs and hip bones compared to a super fit well muscled dog showing the same bones.
