Just show your dog how you think she looks best, dont even think about what anyone else is doing. They may be thinking the same as you :thumbsup:
I did think a lot of the puppies and minor puppies looked a bit thin at the WC. (bitches mostly) Whilst I would hate to see them rolling in fat a chubby puppy is what most of us like to see. Plenty of time for slim elegance when they mature, IMO it is very hard to get a nice sleek outline later if the dog has been too thin and muscley as a youngster. I think most judges are looking for smooth lines so the bones need to have a bit of a covering.
Totally agree with all that Karen says. I hate to see puppies looking like adults (must try harder to get some weight on Fatness!!! LOL!) but the biggest thing is that if they should get a tummy upset, they have absolutely nothing to fall back on if they don't eat for a few days and it is very hard to get them back on an even keel.
