| Barrel-chested Biewer? We got a Biewer pup at the end of Sept., from a breeder. We saw both parents and visited her place twice. He's the cutest little thing, but we have noticed that he is more barrel-chested and a bit more bowl-legged than other yorkies we've seen. He is 6 mo now and weighs about 7 lbs. Full of energy and appears very healthy to us. Any of you Biewer breeders able to provide some insight for us? Is this unusual? We will be bringing him to the vet on Thurs for his neuter, so I thought if you had any advice on things to check, we could mention them at Thursday's appt. Thanks! |

| My Biewer is also barrel chested. She's 12 inches long, and has a 22 inch girth! She has a tendancy to bloat (gas gets trapped in her stomach) which is a common occurance in deep-chested dogs... although more commonly affects larger breeds. It can be life threatening, so I would discuss this with your vet.
