Next, what kind of condition are they in?
A bit skinny
Very lean. Ribs are visible (or easy to feel if they've got long hair). Spine might be poking through.
About right
Ribs can be felt pretty easily but not too visible. Can see a good waist shape.
Maybe a bit chubs...
Can't find a rib for love nor money. No waist, love handles and a flat back.
And finally, how much moving do they do?
Not a lot
Goes for a 20 minute stroll once a day and lots of naps.
A good amount
Has a daily 45 minute walk and spends a good amount of time outside.
Fit as a fiddle
Gets a couple hours proper exercise and heaps of time sniffing around in the outdoors
Easy as that.
