I watched a number of videos last night and felt I understood it a bit more so gave him the once over this morning.
I would say he's a 3.5 touching 4 in some places but he's out of work so very hard to keep weight down. Luckily we do not have much grass as he will not keep a muzzle on!
Neck. I would say this is a 3-3.5. He has very little crest and his shoulder is fairly well defined.
Belly 3.5. I can feel his ribs quite easily and he's still fluffy which doesn't help! He has a small fat pad behind his shoulder but it's not massive (would still rather it wasn't there!) His back is definitely not flat.
Bum. Hmm a 3.5 possibly 4. I can easily feel his hip area but he does have a gutter, however I think this is characteristic of the breed.
Anyway I am hoping the grass doesn't grow too much and I can get him down to a 3 even though he's not in work. I really want to find a yard where I can restrict his grazing because he gets fat on such little grass!
And a terrible picture, any thoughts? Have you condition scored? What did you come out with?
I wish he would wear a muzzle as would really help.
