Here are some pictures of her:http://ift.tt/2rpbClH weighs around 4.3 to 4.5 kg (a bit under 10 lbs) and is 7 months old. Her size (height) is normal for a mini schnauzer compared to others. She has been on a BARF diet for two months, eating 125 g of food every day, the manufacturer recommends 88 g for a dog her size, age and weight, so we are feeding her more.About a month and a half ago we had her fixed, and the vet said she had an enormous amount of fatty tissue inside her body and that we were probably overfeeding her when she was a puppy. She ate puppy kibble for the first 5 months, made by now fresh. She was also reluctant to eat for quite some time, we thought she might be a picky eater, but once we reduced the meal sizes she started eating normally and we haven't had a problem since. She gets some treats during the day and might get the occasional carrot or something like that, but nothing excessive. She is a very happy dog otherwise, she has an enormous amount of energy, we walk her for about 2 hours every day on the beach and on mountain trails plus we work with her on obedience and play fetch for about half an hour every day. She doesn't seem to be weak or anything, she can jump on a kitchen table from the floor and she's faster than the majority of other dogs, whenever she plays with other dogs in her puppy kindergarden no dog can catch her. I really don't know if we should be feeding her more, but a lot of random schnauzer owners have told us she is skinny, but her vet, trainer and groomer said she's ideal.I'm very sorry for the long post and thank you in advance for the help! via /r/dogs http://ift.tt/2sn7aRC
