    Great chart. ((Gag)) Just kidding. In all honesty it is nice to have something to compare poops too. I'm glad to report that Lucky's doo doos are almost always in the 100 range. Small, on the dark side, hard, very easy to pick up. She's a great pooper!

    oh and im eating now as well =p.
    I heard from other websites that if the stool is very hard then it can mean the dog has ordinary constipation, and in the chart above the score is 100 for very hard can anybody explain?

    Hard stool and constipation are two *completely* different things. Hard stool cannot be constipation and vice versa.

    lets see if we can associate the scoring with the food brand hehe:

    Score 0: Iams
    Score 25: Pedigree, Purina,
    Score 50: Diamond (Canidae, TOTW, SG)
    Score 75: Wellness Core, Fromm, Blue Buffalo
    Score 100: Orijen, Acana, Evo, Nature's Variety

    hehe, i was just having fun with this :)
    gotta love rotties

    Hilarious, thanks for the laugh.

    Could also be a sign of disease too. I have one like that with Barnum.
    It's a Three Ring Circus with Barnum and Bailey, the Leonbergers.
    Bailey b. 7/12/08, came home 11/8/08, my husband's velcro boy, 132.6 lbs (5/27/10).
    Barnum b. 7/31/09, came home 10/3/09, my second velcro boy, 123.9 lbs (8/10).
    Behr 5/24/97 - 4/30/05, my first velcro boy, a whopping 205 lbs. Died from Myxosarcoma caused by his microchip.
