Dog breed debate.

[chickentrains]

Call it British directness!

And tbh, I'm more concerned with the health and wellbeing of a dog than the feelings of offendedness of a human dog owner. Sorry if that seems insensitive, I did try to say it tactfully!

No judgment from me, and I hope the OP took my comment in the friendly spirit I intended it.

I've got heavy dog breeds and I'm trying to be so careful they don't get overweight because the pain from arthritis is miserable (I have it).

Just seen the OP's update after I typed this. That is great news you've got it under treatment. Buster will really benefit I'm sure.

Yeah, gotcha. I keep my dog in tip top shape. He's 8 and shows NO signs of slowing down anytime soon!
