chartpolski 22,634 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 That pup looks fine to me !! I have a 12 week old pup, and I feed her whenever she wants to eat ! Raw chicken, rabbit, beef, milk, eggs, complete food, bone meal powder, etc. I like to see a pup eat, if they have a bit extra wheight on when they mature, it's better to trim them down, than try to build up an underwheight pup !
