Hi,

We just got a larbardoodle. We have had him for one week, he is 9 weeks old. (I will send a picture once I figure out how to do it on this web site).

Anyway, the breeder instructed us to feed him twice a day, for 15 minutes, all he can eat duringt that time. If he does not eat during that time to take it away. She said he may not eat the first week he is with us and to also wet his food. Well, he will eat the entire 15 minutes! He is a little piglet. So then I changed it to three times a day and 2/3 rds of a cup each time. I read this in my puppy book by the munks of New Skete. Well, he is now 13 lbs. Is this normal? I am not sure of his weight when we got him but he is definetly hearvier. Should I be feeding him more or less?

Thank you for any advice.

Debra

Hi,

We are feeding him IAMs food for puppies for large dogs. Both the vet and breeder recommended that. So it sounds like we are OK. The package range is big but the max is 2 2/3 cups and he is not getting more then that. He must just be going through a growth spurt.

Thank you!!
