This "champion" stud dog is being advertised for stud online as "stocky / muscular" build . . .
Although a cutie regardless, does anyone else think the more appropriate adjective would be "overweight"? Because that's what I see. I'm no expert, but I don't see it as a great thing that he's up for random breeding, as he doesn't to me, appear to be very correct . . . |

Our Wyatts Sire looked almost like that....he was 140 pounds, and there was nothing over weight on him, you could see every muscle on him. Just built a bit differently. He had huge paws, and features. I don't think every dog can look exactly alike.
Our 2 year old Zane puts weight on in the winter and tends to look alot more stocky, but then once spring comes he runs it off since he is outside more.
Pictures can be a bit deceiving also. You never know until you see a pet/dog in person.
Shannon, Bill, Zane and Wyatt

I think he may be a little heavy, but he is very handsome. I just love these dogs.
I just wish he wasn't being advertised "to stud"  |

| Drama's sire is a big boy too. No where near 140 or even as big as the one in the picture, around 115 i think. But there was no fat on him and appeared to be very healthy. He looked bigger boned then most I've seen. |

| Kaspers dad...(which I think may have been Wyatts as well) was of the same build...very nice looking dog and did not appear overweight at all and I saw him in person. |
