Hard to judge overall structure at this age. He looks like a fat happy puppy!

[hmots]

Too early to tell type unless you know the parents,as far as athletic , watch the diet, plenty of age appropriate excercize and he'll be fine.

cheers for the feedback.

[odinslad]

dont worry about body shape or much exercise until this pup is around 12-16 months. a good nutrition for an easy development and transition is all you need. dont deprive her from good nutrients and essentials just because of looks. there will be time to get her in shape but not now.

cheers buddy.

Im not expecting her to be a beast. was just curious to know from experienced others what they make of her structure (as in will she have long legs). cause i cant tell.

What and how much would u recommend feeding a pup (she is 3 months)?

[12 gauge]

i dont limit my pups' food at all but that is just me. they eat plenty of raw meat and bones (at the age when they can crush them). i feed very little kibble but feed them my own recipe. with this i dont mean to feed them until they pop or shove food down their throats. food with essential and much needed nutrients will satisfy your pup, she will let u know that

[lassie]

Cheers for the tips. She is strong enough to crush the bones but im scared of feeding them to her as she tried to swallow a whole drumstick, i thought it would be natural for a dog to understand when something requires chewing.

[babedulce]

Give your puppy a big ole femur with marrow in it so that it becomes familiar with the consistency of bone and can associate bone with chewing.

makes alot of sense

[Thejerm78]

NEVER limit food as a puppy! They need to grow! You don't restrict an infants food intake!

[bgblok68]

Give her the drumstick back. She'll learn.
