Dried Meat

[leegreen 2,210]

send him to me roy every thing is fat up here

 

Get some deep fried tripe down it's neck

[leegreen 2,210]

Try and feed it a few times a day. Tripe and a good quality puppy meal, seems to do the trick for me. If you give it the squits, miss a couple of meals and start again with a lesser amount. The tripe make them gorge a bit and decent puppy meal is pretty concentrated.

 

How much exercise does it get?

Sorry mate ,eats it cooked,occasionally eats raw but rarely

My old dog didn't like raw to begin with and I know of others the same. To get him over it I boiled (microwaved in water) the mince at first and then gradually cooked it less and less until he's weaned onto raw.

He does like his tripe to be fair and I have more puppy meal than what I know to do with but it's just the amounts he eats doesn't seem to do him.

I exersise him free running mainly although I have run him by the bike a bit lately ,he is a little overactive the type that never keeps still .If I cut his exercise he eats less lol after a good run he tends to eat well ,bit of a catch 22 I suppose.

He will have a week of solid eating 3 times a day then 3 days of eating virtually nothing then a couple of weeks eating well then a week of nowt again,

 

I'm in no doubt I have made him this way,pandering to him and as soon as he is grown I'll dig my heels in lol

I feed that stuff roy, i soak it the night before and mix it with dry musely, i think its called greaves. I buy it local for 12 per 15kg bag, no print of any kind on the bags except best before date. On its own its very prich high in protein, and the dogs would have black slurry in the pens in the morn but they go mad for it.

that's a good price f/d cheapest I've seen it is 25 quid might give a bag a try ,the others will eat if nothing else.

Dogs that are hyper sometimes don't hold weight. Got a couple of pups here I struggle with. I find shorter more frequent walks are better and I've had to kennel them separately, as they bundle all the time.

[roybo 2,873]

He is that type Lee,he constantly play fights ,and rarely sits down.so as you say they will find it harder to hold some weight on them

[leegreen 2,210]

Have you tried crate training him, may be for a couple of weeks, limit his exercise. It works if you can let out often and keep it quite .

if you find it decent it may be worth looking into bringing over a blast of it, 12 euro is less than 9 sterling at the moment!

It may well be worth buying a bag here to try ,and if it works out get a pallet load

Im sure i could organise that for you mate, it frow a wholesalers at that price, i know other places are charging over 30quid a bag for the same stuff, its great stuff to mix in feed. Ideal if raw isn't available as it lasts for months.

[roybo 2,873]

i'll get a bag here, if he'll eat it i'll give you a shout mate top man
