Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| So, Asia is a chubby little girl I think she needs to drop a few lbs, but how do you do that with a puppy? When Mya needed to drop 20lbs I put her on reduced cal food, lowered her portions when she ate regular food, mixed in green beans, etc. I just started Asia on TOTW Sierra Mountain Lamb all stage formula. Bag says to feed her between 3 1/2 to 5 cups a day! I know that the feeding portions they give are always too much. I was thinking 3 cups is fine, but will she drop a few pounds eating 3 cups? I don't want to starve her! She weighs 30lbs (according to her paperwork), is 17" tall, 22"wide, and is between 5-6months (supposedly). I think she's too small to be 6 months! My other two: Mya: 6 years old, 47lbs, 22.5" tall, 26.5" wide Kody: 1 year & 8 months, 24" tall, 26" wide, 45lbs |

| I would start off at around 2.5-3 cups a day and see what happens from there... She doesn't look too bad from the pics you posted but that doesn't mean anything. I'm sure putting her on a better food, and feeding her appropriate portions for a dog her age and exercise... her weight will even out eventually. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!

| I don't think she's chubby. Zoey was exactly the same, she was a huge puppy. I brought her home at 4 months and she was 35lbs. I've been feeding her 2 cups a day of TOTW Sierra Mountain from Day 1, and now at 1.5 years she's 49lbs. |

| Give her more exercise and maintain the feeding level that Kristina suggested. |
