Is My Transylvanian Hound Overweight?

Is your Transylvanian Hound at a healthy weight? The ideal range is 55–77 lbs (males 55–77, females 46–67). Check these three signs:

Ribs: Easily felt with light pressure; not visible but not buried under fat
Waistline: A clear narrowing behind the ribs when viewed from above
Abdominal tuck: The belly slopes upward from the ribcage to the hind legs when viewed from the side

If your dog fails any of these checks, consult your vet. Remarkably healthy due to centuries of natural selection in harsh mountain environments and a focus on working ability over appearance..

Given this hound breed's predisposition to Hip Dysplasia, discuss dietary approaches that may help manage this risk with your vet.
