Height and weight

jefta · 03-08-2010, 20:13

I made simple graph of CSV height:

I use period 5 years to make it transparent. But I don't now how to put period of time on graph, so 1995 means dogs bonitated in orgin countries in years 1990-1995, 2000 means 1995-2000 etc. As we can see CSV grows

You didn't put the standard errors or deviations, so I might be wrong, but this trend doesn't seem too large for me. I wouldn't expect it to be significant...

To be honest, I was surprised when the vet told me his weight the other day (he just said 100 pounds so I don't know if it was a little more or less he didn't say exactly.) And actually I just started cutting down his food intake a little bit since I got him neutered and don't want him to gain any weight.
But he IS in great shape, we go on hikes and long runs together and he has a large yard to play in all day and he ALWAYS has energy!! (I think I've only tired him out once!) I can still feel his hips and ribs so I know he's not overweight. I have a lot of experience with dogs and I HATE when owners let their dogs get obese, it's one of my 'pet peeves.'
Here is a photo of him, I know you can't tell by a photo alone, but he is in great (though maybe not standard) shape.

I know that feeling

I did put my new female that I did pick up in Cz 1,5 week ago on the scales and she was 30,5kg

And she is only 62cm

I did see that she was over weight, but I did think she was only about 27kg,
Now she is on her way down to 25kg at least... I think perfect shape for a 62cm female is 22,5-23,5kg But she is soon to be 7 so I think 25 might be a OK weight for her ??? But I’m all ears, please tell me if I’m wrong any one

Very best regards / Mikael

Gerda z Rofa: 61 cm, 27 kg in younger years, now as a great-grandmother 28 kg. http://www.wolfdog.org/drupal/de/gallery/pic/66987/
Amy Zlatá Palz: 64 cm, 30 kg
http://www.wolfdog.org/drupal/de/gallery/pic/66973/
Falin Zlatá Palz: 63,5 cm, 30 Kg
http://www.wolfdog.org/drupal/de/gallery/pic/70152/
Baschka Zlatá Palz: 65,5 cm, 33 kg
http://www.wolfdog.org/drupal/de/gallery/pic/17729/
Lorenz Farouk Arimminum: 70 cm, 40 kg
http://www.wolfdog.org/drupal/de/gallery/pic/66999/
Monty Crying Wolf: 68 cm, 33,2 kg (not fully grown)
http://www.wolfdog.org/deu/dbase/d12393.html
in all of them you can feel the rips without any pressuring but you only can see the contures of the last two rips, what is the optimal shape for me. Monty is a little bit thinner because he is still growing.
All of them are of the lighter type, except Baschka who is a little bit heavier build. 22 kg for a fully grown 62 cm female is too thin, except maybe for a dog in full marathon-type training that is very lightly build.

Thanks

Than I will try to get her down to 27kg as a start and see how she feels about it, but right now from above it looks like she ate a bucket

Best regards / Mikael

Hm. Bascha looks really good in this photo, so I wonder - Brukne (Walkiria) is 66cm, kind of a muscular type, but when she weights 30 kg she still seems a little bit... well, not so graceful

What is it? Light bones or me, who see things in a wrong way (really possible)?

Ah, and here she is when wheitinh 30kg :http://www.wolfdog.org/drupal/en/gallery/pic/128908/ No ribs seen

Well, Baschka is not exactly the light bone type.
