he's not fat at all and we do walk him with a harness. I appreciate you writing back. We did get him from the humane society, he was picked up as a stray so there is no telling what his early life was like. I will have the vet check him out just to make sure he is ok.

My toys nreeds are only walked on a body harness to prevent problems. Fat makes it worse too so make sure he is thin.

I'm new to the breed so I am wondering is this normal or should I be concerned. Thanks for your help. Melissa
