    Hi all, wondering if any of you could help me. We have a German shepherd cross Labrador, he is about 10 mths now. He weighs about 20kg. The thing is he looks so skinny. Now I know his mother was skinny too, but he just looks so thin.....Is this typical for their breed can any of you tell me?

    German shepherds and their crosses can go through a tall and skinny phase
    Is he a good eater and is his poo normal?

    Yeah normal poo and eating he takes humours!! But majority of time he'll eat his bowl of nuts in morning and bowl in evening. Is it normal that you can see their ribs?? He gets bones too

    He looks healthy with plenty of muscle for his age. To me he looks like he is going through the teenage lanky stage. I would not be worried.
