nickdonboy 264 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Forget the rice and boiling or cooking stuff up for it mate. Feed it raw. Not telling you what to do just a suggestion save u messing around. Try stick to what it likes if it is picky don't pander to him just lift his grub after five minutes. Cracking pup Atb with your first dog. You get back what you put in What raw meat would you recommend? Twice daily? Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Start of with chicken mince for 1 week then slowly introduce other meats. Anything between 3/5 meals ideally at this age as sighthounds have small stomaches. My pup 11 week now on 5 meals. Where about a are you Quote Link to post
tb25 4,627 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Few weeks it be looking spot on am sure.best of luck with it Quote Link to post
stagmad 91 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Feed him morning and night mate. 5 times a day in an ideal world but we are far from that. Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Wormy pups usually have a pot belly on them, that pup IMO is just a little light. Was he still being fed with his siblings ? Feed him regularly and he'll catch up and I'd vary his diet and don't just feed chicken. Chicken is nearly 100% protein and a pup needs more than that. Give him everything he needs and they "usually" repay the hard work. 2 Quote Link to post

He's been scoffing his face all day. Got some beef mince, ground chicken, rice and good quality kibble. Very biddable pup, over the moon with him. Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Good stuff. Rear him well, train him well and enter him to work well and the rest is up to him. 1 Quote Link to post
jeemes 4,479 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 He looks a cracking pup. Most pups loose a bit of weight in new home...good luck Quote Link to post

Get some dripping mixed into his feeds looks like a bit of extra fat will do him the world of good 1 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Chicken is nearly 100% protein Who told you that mate? Human grade chicken breast is about 30% protein. Pet grade chicken mince with fat and bone is even less, around 20% protein. 1 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 You're right Gaz. Chicken is between 19.3 % and 21 % . I always thought it was much higher but not 100%. I wouldn't feed a young dog on only chicken though because of it's lack in fat etc. Quote Link to post
Thomas Breul 21 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Great lookin parents and that pup has a great start with you now. Can't wait to see em grow and hunt. Quote Link to post

I wouldn't feed a young dog on only chicken though because of it's lack in fat etc. I agree with that. I like plenty of fatty lamb mince and green tripe for pups plus plenty of decent mixer biscuit.
