Hey Bordeaux family I have a question.. I'm feeding my 4 1/2 pup 3× a day total of 4.5 cups, but she sometimes seems to want more.. should I increase feeding?uploadfromtaptalk1422834490703.jpg

Beautiful. his body condition looks good, you dont want them too heavy at this age. Look down from his back if there is a nice tuck between his last rib and his hips its good. last rib visible is ideal . i don't like my dogs ribs showing to much. though my first had bad hips so i had to keep him very lean.

Feed per food guidelines and adjust according to body condition. Where does he fall on the body condition chart? His body condition looks great in the pic! He may be getting ready for a growth spurt which means he will want to eat more. I would increase his food about 1/4 cup for a couple of days.
