My three are very different, Twinkie is heavier but on a diet, Cupcake is the perfect 5Lbs and Buttercup is 4 1/2. All have very different activities levels, and eating habits. Buttercup loves to play and almost has little down time, and is not food motivated. the other two, are a little more relaxed (nice way to say lazier) and love to eat. When my friend & breeder saw them, she thought they all could slim down, I took her advise, but I still only have Twinkie on the diet. A heavy dog could have a shorter life. So I try to keep the weight managed.
