My Yorkie is a little rolly polly - however, when I give him a bath, and he's wet, he really isn't very big at all.
Plus - my little guy has wavy hair - which really stands out and adds a lot more to his silhouette. There isn't as much to him as it looks like there is.
I think dogs have somewhat different shapes - just like people do. My dog definitely was not meant to ever be tall and thin. He is shorter-legged and has a little more stalky build.
I can feel his ribs!!!
