My 23 kg Sibe only gets 1 cup food, and a dash of home made wet...and even then I have to watch her weight. In comparison my 17 kg Aussie gets 2 cups food + wet and seems to be holding her weight constant. Funny how they are all so different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Varda gets 1 cup of food a day. Banjo and Kinta get up to 2 (Kinta usually around 1.5). They think they need more though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RosieFT Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Rosie gets 2 chicken wings or chicken wing and drumstick.... and a washing machine powder scoop of biscuits - which sometimes the cat eats before she does.... REally expensive dog to feed...... ETA in winter she gets a scoop more of dry food in the morning as well...

RallyValley Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Toby and Zora get either 1.5 cups a day or 1cup and 150 gams of VAN made up with chicken mince. Toby sometimes gets less then Zora and they both get a meaty bone at lunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby sometimes gets less then Zora and they both get a meaty bone at lunch time. How are u finding the VAN? I find it makes mine pick up weight really quickly if I feed according to the packaging I have to feed much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSoSwift Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 My Dobe used to get 6 cups of active premium dry dog food per day plus some bones and treats, that just maintained her at 30kgs. My old girl had 4 cups per day and the STafford had 3 cups. Feeding up used to be more expensive than these days Rommi has 1, Lewis has 1&1/4 and Brutus 2 cups. They also get bones and chews and some wet/meat/whatever added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think I am jinxed this week :laugh: Problems with the trains yesterday and then my bus broke down today At least it was only a 15 minute delay this morning though until the next bus arrived Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 After what seems like an eternity battling with DogsWest to get Millie recognition as an Associate Gundog so she can compete in the retrieving ability tests, the forms have finally come through! I must accompany the form with 2 photographs to prove she's a purebred (which are ready to go), aaaaand, 32 bucks for the trouble. I also have to hand back her original Associate papers as new Associate Gundog ones will be issued. Bummer this doesn't mean she can also compete in regular retrieving trials, but I can accept that I suppose The RATG will be good for her! She loves to retrieve, but isn't keen on the birdies or the loud gun ;) Kudos to the Retrieving Club of WA, wonderful bunch they are!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Excellent RS! Now you have something to do with all that spare time you were telling me about last night ;) Just over an hour until I can pick Ruby up from the dermatologists. She is having her bee/wasp allergy testing done today. She'll be coming home with a nice shaved patch on her side, and pretty red bumps, probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Gibbs had to have a section of his ulna bone cut out today as one of the bones grew too fast or too slow abd caused cracks and chipping. Very long slow recovery ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
