Are they looking a bit pink and orangey? If so they call it kennel elbow, it's meant to be where the dogs lie on hard cold floors, and go down with a bit of a bump, it's very common, Zeta's are bald, Diva has one orange one, the best thing is to rub a little baby oil into the bald bit and surrounding area, just a bit regularly, but you may find the hair never grows back properly, they go orange or pin from the dogs licking them. Look in the Newsletter at Diva's photo for winning CC at club show, you can see her orange elbow, not too bad and since she has moulted out and growing her coat back now it's gone. Baby oil stops it cracking and drying out any more.
Sophie Ilka is a good size for a bitch, nothing wrong with 63cm, all good for the beautiful girlie.
