I wouldn't worry too much about diets and suchlike,....a young work dog needs all the good grub that you can get into it....

Facts are,.with certain hybrids,...some in a litter will often throw chunky, its just the way it goes, and nothing will turn a cloddy type into a sleek gazehound....

When folks choose to keep such crossbred curs,..they had best keep this firmly in mind, and fully realise, the physical limitations of their charges....

percent agree phil I wanted a complete change of direction regarding the type I want to work wit now so defo don’t want to try turn him into a rocket ship my last runner was a full on running machine that took a lot of getting fit and even harder to keep fit

There’s a picture of the dog above it’s definitely not underfed, some sighthounds can be as greedy as any other breed I’ve seen greyhounds & whippets that would nearly knock their front teeth out they went in to a food bowl that fast

Owned a staff once, that would eat a pound of food in easily less than 10 seconds.

As described it has raised bits in the dog bowl that prevent them gulping  food

She is 21kg 7 months old she gets plenty of scran rather have her fat than a skinny shivering shite
