If you’re new to dogs go for a decent puppy complete to ensure a balanced diet, add in scraps, meat and soft bones etc. I’d forget about working for now, rather concentrate on rearing and training a pup, once that’s done there will be plenty of time for work.

Good advice there I think.

 

Too many people are ill-advised about raw feeding and I think it can do more harm than good if you don't know what your doing.

Might be the photo Cam, but it looks a bit underweight with a pot belly, get it wormed asap with some GOOD QUALITY wormers.....not shop bought crap

with regards to BARF feeding, i feed my adult dogs on whole carcass chicken i get from a local farm and rabbits when ive got some in the freezer. it is ok to feed an 8 week old pup with raw whole carcass chicken isnt it? or would it be better minced/ cut up?

Get some Drontal or panacur, you can get it online, some chemists and the vets....more expensive if bought at the vets though, online will be cheaper

i dont think the dog is underweight i think its it position. should be wormed proppely regardless though
