**Is Your Dog Overfat?**

Many dogs considered to be at a healthy weight are actually overfat.

To assess your dog's weight, use the back of the hand test. Open your hand, palm down and rub your knuckles, that's what their ribs should feel like. Now flip your hand over and with palm open rub the underside of knuckles, you will feel a lot of padding, if your dogs ribs feel like that he's got too much bodyfat. Now make a fist and rub your knuckles, they will feel bony and if his ribs feel like that he's too thin. If your dog is overfat you’ll feel a layer of fat over the ribs. Properly weighted dogs have ribs that are easily felt under the skin with some muscle on top. If a dog is too thin, the ribs will be very pronounced, and four or more ribs may be visible even at rest.

Most dogs should be slightly on the thin side, yet many deemed healthy are actually overweight. Veterinarians often overlook this issue, as they frequently see overfat dogs on a daily basis and may not address weight concerns until dogs are severely overweight.

Today, I want to talk to you about perseverance in the world of dog breeding—a journey that is as challenging as it is rewarding. We all know that breeding dogs is not just a hobby; it’s a commitment that demands our time, energy, and resources. There will be moments when the road feels steep, when the costs seem overwhelming, and when heartbreak strikes with losses.

Every great achievement comes with its share of struggles. The late nights spent caring for newborns, the meticulous planning of pairings, and the emotional toll of losses are all part of this incredible journey. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when faced with these challenges, but it’s in these moments of difficulty that our true character shines!

Remember why you started this journey. Think of the joy that a well-bred dog brings to families, the pride in seeing your hard work reflected in a healthy, happy pup, and the bonds you create within the community. Each setback is not a sign to give up, it’s an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to come back stronger.

So, when you find yourself at a crossroads, feeling like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, take a deep breath. Reflect on your passion, your goals, and the lives you are touching through your work. Embrace the challenges as stepping stones toward your dreams. Even if they are in a raging river and covered with slippery moss.

You are not alone in this journey! Lean on your fellow breeders, share your experiences, and support one another. Together, we can lift each other up and celebrate the victories, both big and small.

In the end, the rewards of dog breeding far outweigh the hardships. The joy of seeing a puppy thrive, the satisfaction of achieving your breeding goals, the pride in showing to a champion or grand champion title and the love you receive from your dogs make every struggle worthwhile.

So, let’s keep pushing forward, keep believing in ourselves, and never give up. The best is yet to come!
