my dog it too skinny!

Question
Every time someone new meets my german shepherd they say, why is he so skinny?  He's 2 1/2 and it seems like he just grew so fast when he was a puppy he couldn't keep any weight on.  I try everything to get him to eat, he's pretty picky and doesn't evern seem intreasted in the food sometimes.  Any suggestion on food i should be feeding him or how to put weight on him?

Answer
What does your vet say?  Has the vet thoroughly checked for worms including tape worms?  If the vet doesn't see a problem, leave well enough.  Many Shepherds just won't eat enough to keep from being on the bony side.  

There was one at 4-H tonight whose ribs showed.  I am sure it is a well cared for dog.  My friend, the leader has experience with Shepherds, and if she saw a problem, she would step in.  The public is used to seeing overweight dogs.  It is a big, life shortening problem with many breeds including Labs and Goldens.

As long as you are feeding it one of the concentrated, meat based, dry chows, you are doing all you should.
