i like to have mine fed to the max mate. i allways have mine fat little barrels. plenty ov time to get them fit and sorted when they grown anit.

i give them as much as they can eat. a big strong fat pus better than a scrawny underweight one....?

Feed him up, no harm.

Sorry, but I'm going to disagree! If a pup is seriously overweight then its growing joints and bones can be under too much pressure. Yes, they need to be well covered and not scrawny, but not fat. Some pups are really greedy and will eat until they can't move: they shouldn't look like bloated balloons after a meal, which is why it is better to feed pups little and often when they are young: that way they don't feel hungry for too long, then guts themselves when you do feed them.

 

If you are worried if your pup is overweight then stick a couple of photos up for us to see.

It's jus mine eats double what my whippet cross and she's 18 months old he's 4 months! He is bigger than her mind!

 

It's jus I see some pups his age with their ribs showing already and I think surely thats not right. but maybe I'm over feeding mine a touch???

Better well covered than not, a well covered pup will always thin down,

I remember visiting a litter years ago, the breeder (well I use that term lightly..the bloke who had the pups) said they are very racy looking arnt they..They sure were, but they shouldnt have been..Thats what rearing on kebab meat and left overs from the fish and chip shop does for them

I would find it very difficult to remeber ever of see-ing a pup that could be deemed as over weight..a pup will eat till its full, and that is that, they will sleep it off, shit it out and start again. If a pup is grossly over weight, not just well covered, I would be thinking theres a problem

That young dog in the picture, is not overweight, bit puppy fat and just hasnt shaped up yet. I was thinking you were taking about much younger pups, and what I wrote above was being directed at pups before 4 meals a day would be starting to get reduced.

Doesn't look overweight at all to me either: big boned pup with a lot of growing still to do.
