[maxybrown]

Just wanted to say Hello as we are so excited!

He is being such a good boy and already a very welcome addition to the family

He is 9 weeks and we've called him Casper

Pics on profile (in a minute!)

Congratulations. Good luck you've got lots of work ahead to turn that cute little puppy in to a good well adjusted grown up x

oh I know, not under any illusions!

Casper, what a fab name. I love it.

9 weeks... hee hee, so cute, puppy breath and popcorn feet - you know you will be sniffing his feet after you have read this!

Good luck and happy first Christmas to your puppy.

cant see any pics on your profile, - not of the dog, just your beautiful boy.

Congratulations on your new addition , love the name.

ah going to add pics now, need to re size them grrrr.

Thank you!

Well we read that Casper was also meant to be the name of one of the 3 wise men so - the friendly Christmas dog

Oh yes puppy breath - yak! Off to add pics and sniff his feet

right pics added.

Does anyone know how many times and how much we should be feeding him out of interest?

What a cutie. At that age our lab pup was fed 4 times a day and we used the guidelines on the bag for weight for portions.

Enjoy your little fella

Thanks, we just have a bag of what they gave us atm, so no guidelines!

Going to check it out anyway

We use Arden Grange - i'm sure the weights etc are on their website. Do you know the brand the breeder has given you?

Yes Iams.......though not read great reports??

They were on something else at the breeders house, then the shop chnaged them to Iams, so don;t want to introduce another one too soon

If you go to the dogfood website then it will give you guidelines, but remember that they are only guidelines, your pup might want more or less... doubt it though, being a lab!

Ahhhh congratulations. I bet he smells GORGEOUS!!

We will be getting our new pup soon after Christmas. Can't wait.

Off to coo over pictures now.

he stinks but oh so cute so that's ok.

Thanks for advice on food! Will check it out, don't ant to overfeed him........lol

ah no it doesn't say on it how much he should be having

ooooooo lovely yy smell his paws smell his paws

well she did - BUT! The breeder gives them to a pet shop to sell, the pet shop changed their feed and just said "about this much" three times a day - I would just like to be more precise she said "this" much 3 times a day

Iams website says to read the packaging for info - which I don't have as was given some in a bag - will check in shop tomorrow.

oops sorry repeated myself there

The feeding amount will depend on the weight of the puppy, so if she is 9 wks old and approx 5KG ish, I would reckon about 300-500g per day, but that is just a rough estimate.

Ask the pet shop, or go and have a look on a bag in the pet shop.

ahhh he's gorgeous.

Enjoy him while he's this small as much as possible, they get big quick (see my 10 month old lab 'puppy' on my profile

Ooh I wil look in a min thanks!

He is 9 weeks and weighs 3.75KG.

The wellbeloved in the shop said 80g - is that per day?

My local pet shop man was really nice and helpful

that doesnt seem very much to me maxy, but then I have German Shepherds.

ahhhh! So hard! My Mum couldn't believe how much he wolfed his food down but I guess that is normal?

ok, sorry going on but he is having 150g of Iams a aday - it doesn't seem enough?

The 80g thing was wrong lol

He is a lovely looking dog.
