Hi everyone. Been lurking on this subreddit for a month or two but finally felt the drive to make a post.

Meet Sofi. She’s a pretty feral iggy who has lived on farms and in the woods not only with me but for the last three years of her life. She is extremely athletic, hikes, works full farm days with me and still has enough energy to throw the damn ball when we make it home. I traded a rooster for her at the beginning of the year (I know - it’s a wild trade) with a community folk whose girlfriend ran off to Mexico and didn’t come back, leaving him with her dog. She was a princess at that time and her time with her previous caregiver helped develop her outdoorsy lady skills. Now that we have some backstory - I have some concerns as I have only ever raised and tended to a low-need hound and working dogs. And Sofi isn’t extremely high need based. She’s pretty lax and go with the flow, probably from all her time being passed around and time spent with other animals and farms.

My concerns are around food, her weight and her teeth. Never have I ever seen such scary teeth. From my research that appears to be an iggy thing? And food wise - I feed her 1/2 a cup of open farm “salmon superfood” 2x a day. She’s extremely active and is muscular af. But I still worry about her weight - bc I see pictures of other Iggys and she looks ripped and large in comparison. I keep all my dogs leans and muscular. She came like this and hasn’t gained or lost weight since I started feeding her the food my older hound eats. 

Any thoughts, suggestions etc on that would be helpful. I love her and just want to make sure I’m doing right by her - but I also do not want to starve her after she’s been running around on the farm all day. 

recently rescued a 6-7year old ‘Biggie’ (I think) - possibly overweight, horrendous teeth but cute af.
