Have fun great looking dog ,mines 12 weeks on Friday they grow so fast. Jay

Thanks! Roughly how many cups of food are you feeding yours per day? I feed her 4 times a day but she will eat until she drops. Thanks!

Morning as regards feeding, raw meat meal 1 no biscuit,high quality dog food and bus unit meal 2,raw meat meal 3 no biscuit,just biscuit meal 4 before bed.At 12 weeks 24 lb no fat fit and lean and appears very healthy, raw meat is her favourite and beta biscuit her least but she does eat that well also . As for amounts her bowl is probably 6 inches round and almost full to the top with all these meals,she generally always eats the lot. I think you will start to sense how much to feed with a little time.hope that is of some help. Jay

Beautiful girl!

The advice I’ve heard is that the back two ribs should be slightly visible and the rest should be able to be felt but not seen.

Chickens feet & beef trachea are excellent sources of natural glucosamine and chondroitin to help her joints and cartridge develop. Give her more when she starts teething as she’ll be using up a lot growing her adult teeth.

Sorry was MIA. Thanks for the advice. She is teething now so I will be sure to give her more chicken feet and beef trachea. She actually broke her canine at a fairly young age and it eventually fell out a few weeks ago. No sign of the adult canine yet. I assume it will still come in normally even though her puppy canine fell out prematurely.

Beautiful girl! Are you in PA (pa dutchie)? We just got two new dutchies and are in PA.

Yes, Pittsburgh - you?

Anymore pics so we can see how she’s grown up thanks Jay

We are in the poconos.

Yes, I will post some this evening. Feels like she grows an inch every other day. Super long and almost as tall as my Golden. Ears are changing daily too.
