Absolutely! In no way did I mean to imply that it shouldn't be checked, just that fat deposits in that area does not seem to be unusual. I've seen it all my males. I've only had one female, who is currently six years, and she's the only one that has not exhibited this.
I have no idea if gender has anything to do with it or it's just a coincidence. Then again, with only one female ever, that's not much to base that theory on.
