when should i start conditioning my dog?

@hmots

What u mean by high fat fur?
cheers for advice.

 

im chasin origin dry food but havent been able to find it yet. Though found somewhere that will order eagle pack in, is it good?

The best i could find was nutro all natural, how good or bad is that? all other brands i have seen were pretty much grain and i have read to stay away.

Ontop of this i have been feeding her a variety of meats and offal (though she doesnt like kidneys). what are the fruits and veg i should try to give her? I have tried to research but information seems kinda contradictory.

 

Lol..sorry it should have read high fat ,FOR quick energy

 

Buddy of mine is feeding Origin and likes it dont know if its available where yer at but the thing w/ it is it is 80%protine 20% fruits and veggies see if you can find something comparable.I found one at a local pet supply that was 76/24 close, going to look some more tomorrow to see if I can find if not Ill get the other stuff .Both have 0% grain.

 

Im very happy with her, but i would like to know the pros and cons in her body shape, keeping in mind that i like an athletic type dog.
cheers fells!

 

I would feed her....stuff her....w/good food like EVO...I feed my boy EVO...and raw...raw is the best...just let her be a pup....and then you can work her around 18 months maybe sooner.Let her body develop.....then monitor her feed and she will look great....raw is best like 1/2 frozen chicken wing...the reverse brindle is ziggi 2 1/2 yrs.very well put together dog...he is SBT....The buckskin is stella and APBT...7 months....she eats as much as she wants 2x a day for now....look at how she is not fat at all....just play w/her and have fun while she is a pup..

 

thanks mate.
awesome dogs u got there.

 

dont stuff it right away, feed it little and often with good quality food. its not uncommon for a dog thats overfed from a young age to develop weak pasteurns and it could leave his gait destroyed for life. leave it til hes grown a lil bit more and hes starting to lengthen in the leg. just advice that was given to me because it was learnt the hard way from an uncle of mine. good luck. keep everything simple as far as training goes and build everything up gradually til the dog is over a year and work can begin

 

Two good minds think alike, thats the exactly advice I gave someone else just today, My advice is, let dog reach maturity on good feeding and regular walking and play then at about 15 - 16 months up the game, up to that point it's still growing and maturing.

 

young dogs get hand walked on grass and some time in the water swimming, but when they hit 16 months, then i will start working them out a bit. simple enough

 

There's various options for feeding, do some research and get a good balance of protein and essential minerals, add some extra supplements such as calcium/bone builder and cod liver, I would NOT feed chicken wings or anything with chicken bones to a pup, i wouldn't give chicken bones to an adult dog, you could do it and get away with it but it'll only take the one time a broken pointed chicken bone sticks in your dogs throat or causes an internal bleed to make you regret it.
do not over feed, excess weight will put strain on the soft growing bone structure and thats going to cause issues, feed the dog smaller amounts regularly as Tommy1985 suggested, some play is enough exercise and good sleep, pups sleep more than adults, just like babies and they do most of their growing and developing while sleeping so make sure when your pup sleeps it's left in peace.
Good luck

 

That's if they're cooked, raw is ok.
