hope it is the angle they have been caught at - I know I was constantly worried about Cora looking ribby in photos when she was younger yet she seemed fine, albeit lean, otherwise.
With the exception of the Rottie element in the mix, I would expect them to be relatively lean with obvious "puppy rolls", but I agree they do look ribby.
If some of them are underweight though I don't think allowing them all to eat together from one dish helps any.
By the amount of crosses detailed in the mother in particular it makes me imagine that they come from successive generations of dogs that are/were un-neutered, bred/crossbred and sold - basically BYB at it's worst. To me this indiscriminate breeding raises more concerns about temperament/aggression than the breed mix itself.
