.Every dog has a metabolism all thier own.We see it here with Trapp & Jasper.Jasper eats a tad more daily than Trapp,but he burns his calories differant,and to some people that see him (me included) he looks to thin.But holds at 20#.He has'nt gained a thing going on 2 months. He had a clean bill of health just recently with his yearly checkup.

How true. Justice is very lean and muscler. Always has been. When I showed him, I had judges always telling me he needed to gain a few lbs. Most I ever got him up to was 23 lbs and that was really trying. When he ate kibble, he was eating 1 c 2x a day and he is only 21lbs. Even on raw,he eats 4%(about 14 oz-1lb daily) to maintain his weight. I can not get him to gain weight. Diva is alot like him but she will gain weight if I feed her more but she will lose weight very quickly if she is more active.

Ember looks at food and she gains weight and it is very hard to get it off.:(.
