Congrats emery! Did you win anything?

5 cups a day, I second the :eek:

My girls get 1.5 cups a day each :o They weigh about 24kgs.

One of their leather leads valued at $99.

my dogs all get 6 cups of biscuits a day less if i am giving them mincestew or chicken carcasses, the pups sometimes get more as they are so energetic. i give mumma dog who has stabilised weight 3-4 cups daily and add or subtract depending on her waste line rofl

Wow - that is alot of food. 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!

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...

Time for me to leave work if I want to get to training... but there still aren't any trains running :eek:

Hmm, not quite sure exactly how I am going to get home :rofl: I should have driven in (but then I don't know where I would have parked...)

Guess I won't be at training tonight though :(

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.

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.

I've not noticed any difference in either dog. :)

Maybe is because I only feed the VAN and no kibble?

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

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! :cheer:

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 laugh.gif 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!! thanks.gif

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 laugh.gif
