Sorry, slightly OT - but that made me laugh and reminded me of an experiment on a comedy science show...they had a really skinny guy and a rather 'rotund' guy and pitted them against each other in survival...the big guy won in that he floated the longest, lasted best in the cold and didn't get blown away from the industrial wind machine - there's hope for me yet!

Mine are somewhere between moderate and stout but Mollie swims in freezing water and when she is thinner takes ages to warm back up again, Duncan has sparse hair in places and needs a little flesh too I think.

In the past we have had everything from emaciated to stout dogs - all having similar foods and exercise they were just naturally different body shapes.

Inka on the chart is Moderate, though I'd say perfect lol, all round he is happy, bright eyed, great coat and condition.
Toro according to the chart is Stout, but again I think shes perfect for a bullie, her coat is fantastic for a bullie,she even has a wee hairy belly,a lot of white bullies I know have wee baldy bellies,her coat is also very thick which can be unusual in her breed, shes bouncy, bright eyed and happy being Stout lol x

One of mine is thin to moderate (literally depending on how many poos, to food ratio for the day), the other moderate.
