It is SOOO true how truly FAT some show dogs are. I always find it sad that these dogs are bred to work and cannot run around the ring because of their weight.

Although my idea of working weight is a little different than yours (I think), I will never PORK my dogs up for a show. I like them to look lean and muscular.

I was told at the last dog show I was entered in (by a long time breeder) that Wicca has too much of a tuck up. Um, yeah. She is much thicker than her mother (not because she is fat - she has more bone and is overall bigger)so she is more dog than I am used to, but I still like to see a lean profile.

And Wicca is also entered in that sieger show along with 4 of her littermates, none of which are going to be told by any judge that they are fat!
