Hey Jess...your post brought up an observation and a pet peeve...anybody  
else but me notice the trend lately that the dogs are too thin????  Is  "thin" 
taking the place of "condition"????
 
I want a dog that is carrying a bit of muscle.  Now, you'll never get  that 
if they are put in a 6 x 10 run all day and/or crated a bunch.  So is  the next 
best thing keeping them too thin?
 
I ask because this past heat wave I saw more than a few dogs not handle it  
well at all.
 
Pet peeve; these dogs are supposed to be able to go out and work a full  day.
 
I've been to sheep herding trials in July and we didn't walk around with  
spray bottles and cool coats! Now, I'm all for keeping a dog comfortable,  but 
when a little heat does them in, you have to wonder...

If a dog  is coordinated, they should be able to handle any size ring 
easily... This  might also mean that one might have to CONDITION their  dogs..
