Hello all.
Dom is doing well.
He's learning quickly and growing (up) like a weed. Getting pretty darn handsome, too. :wink:
However, I cannot seem to put weight on him. He eats VERY well, but it seems like no matter what/how much I feed him, he WILL NOT gain weight. He gets taller by the day, it seems, but he's still thin as a board - you can see his ribs most of the time and you can feel a lot more than that. :| :roll:
While I'm by no means complaining that he's too small or saying that I want a beast of a puppy, I don't feel that this is right, either. He's free of parasites and otherwise acts very healthy - plenty of energy and all that - but people look at me like I'm starving him, which couldn't be FARTHER from the truth (he eats quite a bit more than Jeager).
Could this just be attributed to his genetics? Is he just going to fill out later in life and I should stop worrying? Or can anyone recommend a high-calorie addition to a raw diet? Again, I don't want a tank :lol: but a nicely ROUNDED puppy would be nice.
If this helps you to visualize, his physique is not unlike a Thoroughbred racehorse.... :? :lol:
