Every Newf I've had, weight has always been an issue...the issue being they tended to be on the heavier side.
Well, my dear sweet Noah is the opposite. Noah is 15 months old and is as skinny as a rail. A few weeks ago we were in the States and I had my three pups at the kennel. When I saw the photos of my pups on the kennel's website it really hit home how thin Noah is.
I'm wondering if hormones has anything to do with it? Noah is not neutered, he has a super good appetite, appears to be healthy, has a shiny coat, but look how skinny he is! I'm almost embarrassed for you to see him!
Should I give him Satin Balls and try to bulk him up or is it better to err on the lean side. I'm wondering too if once he's altered if he'll put on weight.
He has a wonderful personality, gets along well with Gabe and Paige, eats well, is never sick and has a shiney coat (when he hasn't been playing in the mud.) But looking at this photo, don't you think he looks thin?
Am I worrying too much or not enough.
Help!
Please note that this photo was taken a day they were playing in the MUD (!!!) and fields so he normally isn't so filthy.
