Disadvantage? It depends on what the contest is and how long you have to "correct". Nice bitch but a bit bow legged. Take care of those joints and don't put weighted collars on her (just in case). She kind of looks like my Rocky.

The above dog is not his female..that's a male, not sure who's dog it is, but theres already been a discussion on this dog. it's confusing because it looks like he posted that pic..

How far is the competition away? She cant have that much skin hanging there to keep her from competiting to her best,unless you kept her ungodly fat and are now starving her. The body will adjust itself, just give it time.

Sorry about that. I read too quickly to see the pipi hehehe. As 14Rock said, it all depends on how far from compteting it is...if it is around the corner, don't do anything or you may debilitate the body and strain the mind. Remember, it has to be fun for the dog in order to reach its potential.
Maybe some cruches would help. hehehe.

I didnt suspect you were starving her I just said this is about the only way she can have too much extra skin to compete to her fullest. As long as you are doing it the right responsible way she will be fine, you might want to start conditioning a little heavier if it still bothers you if the competition is only 2 weeks away.
