Without seeing Buddy in person (who is very handsome by the way!), I can't say if he's overweight or not because he's a mix breed dog. They can really vary in weight depending on their build and genetics. Check out this link on checking the body condition score in dogs, and that will give you an idea if he's overweight or not. You can also discuss with his vet if they feel he's overweight. I hope this helps! https://www.wsava.org/WSAVA/media/Arpita-and-Emma-editorial/Body-Condition-Score-Dog.pdf
