Erm... i duno if thsi matters..
Lennox seems to Eat his meals really fast, like sometimes he wont even chew lol..
am i not feedign him enough? this is only when i feed Raw, if i give him kibble after, he wont touch it..
like after 2 chicken wings hes, lookign for more food so i stick some kibble in his dish and he doesnt eat it..?
Shall i worm him again? or up his meal sizes?
Hes walked for abotu 2hours every 2days and wen hes not on a walk day i'l flit pole him for about 20mins..

LOL Martin if you had a choice of prime steak or crackers which would you go for?? Lennox is not gonna want to eat kibble after eating raw. Lennox wolfing down the food doesnt matter.....all my dogs are the same. And if you revert them back to their days in the wild .....thats how they eat anyway as they would need to get as much down them as quick as possible or litter mates would get it (you snooze you lose, kind of attitude). As long as your feeding Lennox enough to keep him looking healthy and energetic, dont worry too much (but remember hes a pup and you should allow him to carry a little extra weight).......I think as a rule you should be feeding him 2% of his body weight. But then it all depends on how much youre doing with him too. My lot have one day where theyre not worked very much and thats their fast day........if they have had a 3 hour work, then they will get fed according to that .......a big feed. if hes due worming and only then worm him, the toxins in worming tablets are bad enough when you do need to worm em. I hope this helps, if you need to chat give us a call :0)

by the looks of the video mate you aint doing nothing wrong!! i believe all dogs are different, lou will gulp her food down like its her last meal , winston wil take it slow and mo is somewhere in between, i think your dog looks good so stick to what your doing, the only thing i will say is watch out with encouraging him to bite his lead you dont want him turning into one of them dogs you see that rags the lead whilst the owner struggles to keep control, what i would do is take a piece of rope with you and use that and keep the lead for leading,only my opinion mate

by a tug toy from the ebay shop m8 and its only my opinion but 2 x 20-30 minute walks are far better for him that 2 hours at his age.
