She doesn't eat anymore than my normal weight dogs. I think she's a throw back, as does the vet.
Loki has always been big too. His legs are twice as long as Sammy's (she can walk under him!) even though she is 10" long and he is 13" long. So I never worried about the fact that he wasn't a standard weight or size, but at 4 he should not still be gaining weight so we will be cutting back a little.
