I have a white Germen Shepard..
I rescued her about a year ago from a breeder that is all he did with her.. poor little thing she is 3 years old and from previous owners has had 3 liters of puppy already. I have not bread her and don't plane on too for a long time...
But her is my problem...
She is almost 4 years old she eats good I put food out for her every time the bowl is empty I don't let it get empty..
I also notice she is a very scared dog but we moved in July and our house has over an acker lot which she runs and runs. I have taken her to the vet and he says she is fine but see she is a large dog according to her bread she should be 70 or more pounds but she is only 59 lbs and she looks too skinny her ribs are poking out and she has her hips sunken in... I also had her dewormed too so it is not...
I am concerned I will lose but but she is very active but not sickly at all. I feed her ims dog food as she is a picky eater this was the only dog food I could get her to eat I went through almost all kinds of dog food to find the one she would eat and she been eating this one for 5 months now...
Anyway suggestions what else I can try to make her where she needs to be...
I don't let her out all day no more cause I am thinking part of her problem is she is burning up too many calories I don't know I am not the dog expert just love my dog and want to do what is right for her...
Thanks Ks Rose
