If you look down at your dog from the top, like looking down at their back, you should see a nice form from the shoulders to ribs is kind of the same but it should indent some for the stomache area behind the ribs and then go back out a little for the hips. Does that make sense? |
You explained it perfectly. A dog should have a waste line . My Suzi is on the thin side , but is long , You cannot see any bones sticking out either. i'd like her to fill out some.
