Hexe
I think the horizontal axis is a little offset, but on 1/16/17 her weight was 90.3 and the weight I recall before that was 86 lbs. All the male litter mates are over 95 lbs , and the only female littermate I know of was 88 lbs a few months ago ( as I spoke to her owner ). I see Jen talks here about a female dog called Capri at a fit 85 lbs. I saw you also posted about a fit Durbas at 105 lbs. I know two males descending from Furo Kamos and both are around 110 lbs. A friend in NYC owns Navar son who is 120l lbs , when hes not eating well.
No overweight dog will do 30 back to back 200m flatout runs.

Mithuna I don't think anyone is saying its impossible, in fact your claims if true are worthy of admiration.

I just think to hush the skeptics you should get a video of said workout and a few revealing still pics.

You can only go up in stature by verifying your claims, hell this female would be a worthy breeding animal in the right pairing if you are speaking the truth and can verify it.

Of course a fit but 4 lb overweight dog that should be 86 lbs, could do that.

Mithuna, young Capri was in the 70's. Capri is 10 years old. She is 82-ish. She fluctuates between 78-82. She's ribby but has a lot of bone and is oversized. I am not going to say Capri fits the standard for height. PLENTY of overweight dogs can do 200m flatout runs. LOL. That's insane. It's not that they can't do it, lol, it's just that it's harder on the body. I believe Durbas was once 103??? And Durbas was OVERSIZED! With a massive, massive head. 2.5 isn't even old enough to be fully filled out yet. That's insane to assert your dog's correctness based on dogs you've never met/seen. Steve hated fat dogs. Durbas was kept lean. But he was big. IIRC, Steve said he was 26 1/2, which was the same size as my old dog, Caleb who I kept in the 90's. He was around long before your time, so I'll post some pics and see what you think- should your 2yr old FEMALE weigh the same as this over-standard MALE in full maturity? If your dog isn't fat, she's over the standard. There really isn't another option that I can see.

Caleb at 2, above. I am not a midget, but I'm not big. Still....he was a huge dog with a huge head. And he always had ribs showing and was below 100lbs.

Durbas...note where the dog's shoulder is compared to the man holding him. Using this huge, fit dog to justify your female weighing just 13lbs less is not sound logic. JMO. I have some personal photos of Durbas playing with a Min-Pin that might show his size and weight but I don't see how he's relevant to the discussion, really. The question seems to be about YOUR dog.

We've NEVER seen a well-lit, clear, close photo of your dog in a stack, free stand, or from above.
