I'm not getting why everyone keeps talking about how skinny this dog is; he looks fine to me.

 Rex looks realy well even weight wise, glad all has ended well for Rex and Respect Peggy for putting Rex first and not her feelings. YR it's such a shame many breeders don't follow in your footsteps, you are a very special person, i wish you all the best

Keith:

Yes, the scheme of things is because the vets do not like a slimmer dog..THE backbone of REX was slightly showing not his ribs...so he is in need of some weight.

THE vet immediately stated saying   THIS dog is underweight and PROBABLY   has HD, heatworms or worms etc, and possible a DIGESTION problem
Upon talking with my vet on the incident in 2007, which vet didnt tell this vet...he was in a breeding situation, which REX doesnt eat when a female is in heat.
He paced in his kennel , until he knocked the water bowl empty and I found him exhausted and in heat of the day,,,dehydrated..  I administerd hydration properly in tiny amounts, and vit b 12 and to the vet...Weight in at 60 lbs and in a  few weeks 62*  .

Not talking with me, vet assumed the dog in his office has big problems...THE words used naturally scared any customer

Not the first vet that has scared a customer of a german shepherd..TELLING any new dog owner, pup or older, that their dog looks like he has  HD, heartworms without saying it properly, puts a permanent  scar on that dog or pup.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED to this situation....NOT knowing me, but did talk to another of my customers who said they would not take 10 million dollars for their girl, which was a REX daughter, GRETA., they knew I had nothing to be afraid of ..
THEN came the ALLERGY SHOT saga.. BECAUSE OF dry skin, loss of hair , (Shedding) which it is 103* every day here, and not knowing dog....put REX in a situation because I was not there to defend his HONOR>>>>LOL I relayed the no good food as the cause and the nervous condition of REX due to moving and losing his family....as number two..HE is not an outside dog and he is a people person dog..Call it anxiety and it might fit..

I do not believe in ALERGY SHOTS for MY germans...YOU may for yours. I know what I breed and what solves all these things on MY dogs..NOT YOURS>>> so take note : to those who are reading who are quick to tell this board...her clinical diagnosis is dangerous....lol

I keep slim dogs,   I feed raw, I do not use pills,,I user FOOD< OILS > and holistic means on my dogs.
VETS , some, do not like it...I do not use those vets.
REX will gain some weight  and I will post a pic in a couple of months to show you  . I do not know his weight...as far as I know  they didnt weigh HIM>???  FUNNY?

Slim in most public eyes is  SKINNY

I am not slim so no one calls me SKINNY..  It is cottage cheese time for REX and me both..I put peaches in mine..he just slurps his down plain..

Glad all has worked out in the end. 
Just my (useless .02 ;)), his weight looks fine to me as well. We have a showline male (actually 2 from the same litter) and the one smaller guy usually weighs around 65lbs when he goes in for a check up and looks about like your Rex. 
The other showline male we have is probably similar to Rex in that I think he would absolutely implode if I tried to rehome him. I have considered selling him since he is a great dog and would be a great first dog for someone to get into Schutzhund or obedience, but I have come to the conclusion that he would be heartbroken and always be looking for me. 

Peggy will find the right dog for her situation.

Annette

i do agree YR but some times vet medication can be a benefit to a dogs health. i know some are bad and i dont use all.  my dogs people have called animal control on me saying im starving them and so i got to walk them through my house and show them my 2 31 gallon trash cans full of food that the dogs get  and she agreed with me that the k9 units at the police station where the same weight and left my home.

 but like antibiotics i use and i used prednesone when my male had cancer.

Siantha:

I use Cephflexion , Amoxcillian, and Flagyl , and several other antibiotics but I  buy them elsewhere and keep them on hand 24/7/ Having been breeding since the early 70's my vets know if it is a serious condition I would be at their door asap..BUT i have been blessed with healthy dogs so my vet visits are very sparse.

I use Ivemec, under my vets guidance as to dosage, and my vets all keep me in tune with proper dosages and they know I am good with what I know and do.

Ear meda and other things are dispensed to me as a breeder with a kennel, so I do keep meds on hand. I just use alternatives all the time.   I use many things that I share with my pup owners and other friends in dogs..

We have a lot of things in our kitchen and home that we can use for proper healthier dogs in our life..
