skinny neo pup :(

My girl Sage looks skinny compared to Bella but she is also taller, weighs 10 lbs more and is much more active. I'm keeping them on the Earthborn till I switch them to raw next year. They are not lethargic and eat up all their food at ever sitting. They are gaining 10 lbs a month roughly so I am very happy.

Luna is also taller: i didn't manage to get a good photo of her standing, but here the size difference is pretty obvious (they have exactly the same weight):

That's an adorable photo.

I know I am sounding like a broken record, (and I am not familiar with the Neo standard or how they grow) but she looks just fine to me. As I demonstrated upthread, my EM pup is much ribbier than her, and I'm happy with how he's growing.

Yeah, probably I worry too much. I was the same obsessed with jack few months ago, and he turned out to be a beautiful teenager now. :) Thanks. :)

And yes, they always hug each other in sleep. :)

As long as she is eating sleeping pooping and playing then she will be totally fine. Some dogs acquire different genes just like all mammals. She may just be a small sized Neo. Usually by 2 1/2 years they will be fully grown and filled out.

she is eating and playing - both of them have moments when they're more tired/grumpy than usually but it doesn't take long. Here's a picture of them: Luna is the one in the middle, she is obviously taller, long and slim... CC boy is 11 months, for comparison.
I wouldn't say they are small neos, they're 3 months and 2 weeks... large enough for their age.

I thought I was done with my over the pond trips but I may have to put that on my bucket list. My husband has been years ago and I know he would love to go back. :)
