My vet thinks she has one that has been rescued from roadside that was just skin and bones. She has since gained 2.5 # but is in proper proportion just reduced size. She should top out about 25# and looks like pituitary dwarf. Is there some sign I can tell my vet to look for? I have seen the dog and she really looks like a GSD just tiny. Thanks, Pat Downing Hi Pat Our old vet had a dwarf GSD for client. It was truly a scaled version of our regular size dogs. It did have lots of health issues. I'll be happy to ask him if he remembers details about it to help your vet out. He used to live in TX, but is living in CO now. Ileana **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
