My Moka is like you describe. I can feel her spine, but not so much her ribs. She is very active, eats great, and her coat is shiny and healthy. My vet too says she is "ideal." I have wondered too if she is underweight, but overall she feels pretty solid when I hold her. I would rather my dogs be a Tiny bit on the thin side than overweight. I should add, she is long and narrow by nature which I think does make a difference for her. My new baby is not quite as long, and I can tell already she is just going to look overall different but I can't feel her spine at all but then again she is a bit more stalky.
