How about this lanky thing? I just weighed her and she is 19lbs. on the dot. This is her ideal weight. Her ribs have a small amount of padding, her abdomen is tucked, and her waste is visible.

Boston's are a very diverse breed. They range in weight from 15 to 25 pounds and I've even seems some 10 pound Boston's, and some 40 pound Boston's. Your beautiful Dory is a petite lady and is gorgeous. You keep her in great shape.

I think a Boston is in a good weight when you can't see the ribs when standing, but when moving you can see them as the dog takes a stride. My Shorty goes up and down a bit in weight. Putting on a few extra in winter, and losing it just in time for the swimsuit season. Mine has a bit of French bulldog in her so she carries some brawn, but favors the Boston most.

Love her!

Thanks! I love her so much. I was worried after my first Boston died I wouldn't find another dog like her. I had nothing to worry about!

That's a good idea, I'll admit I've been doing horrible about exercising her.

I will join you under that chair. Poor Dorie has been quite restless...

Willow should probably be getting more exercise but it's so hot, she literally shuts down in heat and won't play or train so it's hard to exercise her.

I can't imagine that fur being comfortable in Florida heat! That has to be so frustrating

She prefers the ball thrower to the ball

It is, but I'm definitely not shaving her since she's double coated. We just try to get our exercise in in the evenings once the sun goes down
