Hips too narrow???? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I had Skeeter groomed on Friday and asked that the groomer take as much hair off as possible. He looked like a furry ball rolling along the floor before hand!

Now that he has short hair it looks as if his hips are the narrowest part of his body. Adie was called buffalo butt by her breeder and didn't look like that. Her hips and shoulders were/are about the same size. Does anyone have photos of their males that show their hips in proportion to their shoulders? Is this normal for males of this breed?

I don't have a picture of my males hips, but I have noticed that they are a little narrower....not alot, though

That is kind of a relief. I called the groomer and asked her if she noticed it but she hadn't. So I guess it is OK. But do males have narrower hips than females?
