Sounds like my Bagel as well. Similar size 14.75 inches and slender but fit. Consider yourself lucky that Charlie isn't putting on excess pounds, fighting the battle of the beagle bulge is hard on everyone concerned. I constantly monitor Bagel, adjusting his daily portion to the "meat on his ribs" because I don't want him to pork up and believe me, if Bagel had his way, he could pork up real quickly /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
