So I think I found out Loki's other half. I googled min pin x chihuahua and found a dog that looks exactly like him (or pretty close anyway.)
When we got him, he was just a skinny little thing. He was returned to the shelter and was there for a week or so. We could easily feel his ribs, hips, and spine.
We took him home and started him on raw/better kibbs than Science Diet and he gained some weight very quickly (as well as getting a better coat, and muscle) which is why we dropped his nickname Skinny Dog. Well he is still a skinny dog...lol. I can't feel his ribs (well I can...just not the indents like on underweight dogs) or his hips but can slightly feel his spine. His stomach is tucked in like an IG which is why I originally thought he could be an italian greyhound mix. Just he otherwise didn't look like one.
Is it possible that some dogs are just...skinny? He doesn't inhale his food and is in great health...hes just skinny.
