I went back to her breeders and they said she is fine, but that for serious showing, she needed to lose at least 5-7 lbs b/c the trend is toward the ultra-lean look. Now Michele has seen Cassie recently, and I don't think she would say Cassie is fat.
As for the people showing..............im not throwing stones.

I'd be very concerned about a Lab that you could see ribs on, but I expect to see ribs on a Pit.
