What breed is Thalia? She's awesome!

My female JRT was only 15# but she was solid! Always won battles for toys, could out run everyone and was definitely top dog in the house. Lol

She's a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. :)

Looking good Thalia!!! Do you give her any supplements due to the fact that she is a fitness freak?

The only supplement that she gets is Glycoflex because she does have luxating patellas in both knees. Otherwise, it's just a balanced raw diet, turmeric and bone broth. She gets massage therapy to keep her feeling good. She has to eat proteins that are high in calories (I just put in a massive order for 82 pounds of duck). I find when she is eating chicken, pork, beef etc... she has to eat 5% of her body weight just to maintain her weight, whereas duck is closer to 3% of her body weight.

Thank you.

Hahahaha thanks! A lot of the other people are using supplements like creatine to help bulk their dogs up quickly. I was bound and determined go as natural as I could. The only reason she gets any supplements is just because of her knees, which are the lowest grade of luxating patellas that you can have, but they do still bother her sometimes.

I'm sorry, don't mean to be weird or anything, but I just love this dog:) Her face is adorable! And she looks so happy and wanting to please. A trifecta!

Me, too, BAMCB! She is like a mini twin of my Yogi, only a girl, and in much better shape, lol.

Just looks like a BBM to me (bully breed mix). Almost like a pit/lab mix maybe?
