Yep, I know

, and agree. Their daddy was too thin, admittedly by the owner, because he was recovering from a bug or something, and also he's like 12 years old. I didn't look too much at mama's weight... His 1 year old older brother puppy could have stood to gain about 20lbs, IMO. There's healthy slender and then there's skinny, yk?

This was my other dog who I considered a healthy, slender weight, for reference:

I think he was 6-8 months in those photos? He did go through skinnier times and stockier times (he's stockier in these photos

I have pictures of him all slender and grown, but I can't find any that are aimed more at weight. Its all like... his face

), and I never felt like he was unhealthy. I agree that it is unwise to try to bulk up a giant dog very fast or constantly feed them that way so that they grow too fast
