How Fit is Your Dachshund?

[nola]

I see so many dogs, Dachshunds in particular, that are overweight (if not down right obese). It saddens me that people gasp and say my girl, Nola, is too thin, when they're walking a dog who's belly is on the ground. So I decided to create this thread where we can all share pictures of our fit Doxies! List name, age, weight/standard/mini and gender, if you want.

If you want to go one step further, try the flow chart linked below and say what your dog scores.

Nola

Some serious muscle tone, don't ya think?

So many are so much overweight! We sure know how to love with food, not so much with exercise.

I would LOVE to be in Florida enjoying sand and surf! Nola is one very lucky little sweet pea.

I think he scores between "thin" and "lean". But I did also notice today that he seemed a little thin, so I upped his food a bit.
