Okay, here are some pictures of Lexi.
I gentleman came out to see her the other day and didn't like her. He told me that she was too petite and it would take alot of work to get her up to par! Then he reported back to the rescue that she was skin and bones. Confused Do you all think she's too thin?

She looks fine to me.
My Duchess is overweight, though. Always been on the hefty side. When I had Tess, she looked like Lexi. I think (just my opinion) some are more lean and lanky than others. I may be wrong. But, we had 3 girls from the same litter and they were all different in size.
So, now that I have babbled... She looks fine to me.

She looks fine to me...after having mostly weimamooses, I would welcome a petite weim. He was probably just making excuses......

That's about the same profile as Luna has, and our vet told us she was perfect a few weeks ago!

That guy may not have known what a Weimie "should" look like?

Well, I'm glad you all think she looks alright.
He told the rescue that he thinks I switched dogs!

he must be a mouth breather. Drooling or manic

i think she looks good. if she happened to put on 3-5 lbs, it wouldnt be a big deal - you know, holiday weight is right around the corner!

looks fine, weims are lanky by nature, they should fill out later on but its fine to see slight rib portrusion especially when they are playing or running.

When I got Roxy from her previous owner I wished she looked half as good as what Lexi looks.
She has great muscle definition on her back leg. Don't let some idiot make you question the fantastic care that you have given to Lexi. Oh and who is Brodie??????

Sorry me again I was just thinking- I feel sorry for the Weim that guy does rescue, if he thinks Lexi is thin imagine the weight he is going to pack on his one. Its poor joints are going to suffer Crying or Very sad
