It's a lot more than some. Genetics are the primary reason those dogs you posted look the way they do. Don't get me wrong those owners invested a lot of time conditioning those dogs. How old is the dog your adopting? You don't want to start conditioning a dog too early and if they are older you need to ease them into it.

Opps! Missed that! She's old enough to condition. Start out with simple hand walks and flirt pole and build from there. Flirt pole doesn't have anything to do with tugging. Take a soft toy she likes and tie it to the end of a flirt pole. Get her to chase after it for just a little bit then let her get it and make a big deal deal when she grabs it. She'll get all happy that she made you happy and want to do it again to get all the praise. You also want to stop the activity while they still want more. You want to make conditioning fun for the dog so they'll want to give you 110%. Keep in mine not all dogs can look like the ones you posted.
