pretty girl.....looks like she could use a few less groceries, tho....a friend always tells me her dogs aren't fat they're "fluffy" :D....at 8 yrs, i'd really try to get that weight down...it'll extend her life and help w/ her joints as she ages....
 
a man that goes to the dog club w/ us during the wk (he has one of my Kilt's brothers) has a 10 (almost 11) yr old BC from a different breeder....when they 1st started coming out w/ us 2 summers ago, Jay, the 10 yr old, was 72#......the vet never said a word to him about bringing his weight down, but i got Terry on board w/ him and getting it down....he now weighs in at 46-48# (it fluctuates back and forth) and the dog has soooooooo much more pep....the vet keeps telling him he needs to put about 5 more # on him and i can't understand why...even when his weight is up in the 48 area, he seems more sluggish....
