boney butts?

may be a silly question, but are "boney butts" normal? On either side of the poop chute Ryleigh has 2 very sharp bones. Im wondering if this is normal or should I feed her more. She doesnt look skinny, no ribs sticking out or anything. Could it be a hip issuse later in life??? We didnt get her from her breeder so Im not sure if any hip/eye checks were done on parents. Shes a pretty tall Sheepie about 25" from floor to back hips and weighs about 67 pounds.

Just seeing if other sheepies have boney bottums, kinda hurts when they sit on you. :wink:

Yes, boney butts are normal! :lol:
We just get to see it more in the OES as they LOVE to back up and plop on our feet (or any other handy body part they can find). 8) 8)

And seeing as dogs gain condition from front to rear...she would be horribly blimped out before those boney butt bones had even a bit of padding. :wink:
Thank you I was worrid about maybe her hip being bad later or something. :phew:

I guess we will just have to have a pillow handy when she sits on us. :lol:
Yes, when they plop down on your food, jamming those bones into you, it hurts. Even a dog with thunder thighs will retain those painful protrusions.
she likes to sit on our laps, maybe to cushion the boney part. :lmt:
An elbow in the groin area also hurts like the dickens :cow:
dreamer is always backing up and sitting me people and yes he does have a big boney butt
