[QUOTE="Teal Terminator, post: 11948245, member: 26375"] Beautiful pup! As lobra said, be mindful of bloat... we had one scare with it but thankfully was unrelated. However putting them away for an hour after food may not be necessary, I suppose it depends on the activity level of your particular dog. We just usually try not to let ours rough-house with our Mastiff or let her run around a lot in the backyard afterwards and it's never been a problem. Something else I might suggest but that everybody has their own opinion on is not giving the dog human food... ever! Now that may not be something you can do or are interested in but I would suggest if you like your dinner, lol. We've done that with both our dogs and neither begs for food. You can sit on the floor watching TV and eat something and they could care less. You may not care now but when they are tall enough to take food off the table or kitchen counter without even jumping up you will appreciate it, lol. With us there are exceptions, like if they are sick and we are feeding them rice and/or yogurt, but we always make sure to make them stay in the other room and then place the "human food" in their food bowls so that is all they ever associate with it. May seem a little over the top and takes some discipline, especially around others who may try and feed your dog, but again well worth it in the long run. Best of luck and I'm sure you'll love him even more as he grows "up"! :) And lobra, I'm sorry. ;-) [/QUOTE]
