Thanks guys! I jst mixed her puppy food inwith the adult food I have. I have never had a Large breed before. My other two dogs are a 13 year old Lab mix (smallish) and a year old Heeler/Boarder Collie mix. I feed them Purina lamb & Rice. I have always had good results with this food so didn't think about changing it. My hubby's uncle feeds all his show dogs Pedigree, it's a religion wit him! He as shown all breeds but raised Irish Setters and Poms.I will look at the dog food available in my area the next time I go to the store.

Her name is Little Bit. It is he name the breeder gave her and she comes to it, so I guess I will keep it! She looks just like her dad and her mom was all white. I love her dad, not so crazy about her mom, so I hope she takes after daddy!

She also has no back dew claws and was told this is a sign of her not being a purebred. All I know is both parents are registered and there are no other breeds of male dogs there. So, can this be a thing that happens? Breeder says sometimes they will be born without those dew claws. Doesn't really matter as she will be fixed and I don't care if she is registered in the future. she is to be my livestock guard dog and member of my family!

Hi everyone! I just joined and boy will I have alot of questions!

On Christmas morning my neighbor knocked on my door and handed me one of her GP pups! What a surprise that was. She knew I wanted one last year and decided to give me one! She is the runt, which I love, and is 8 weeks old. She is the first GP I have ever owned so this breed is new to me. I live on 10 acres out in the country. She will have tons of room to run around in. She will have 4 horses to guard and is already trying out her job by sitting out with them when I feed.

So, I will be reading for awhile to learn! My first question tho is about food. She was a bit thin when I got her but is now back up o a good weight. I feed her puppy food, about a cup both morning and night. I heard from someone that she should be getting a adult food not puppy food. Any input on this? My two adult dogs eat Purina, which I like.her mom and dad eat a mix of several types of adult dry food as it is cheaper for the owner to buy. Basically it is all thedog food tht our local grocery store has from broken bags. They mix it all together and sell it cheap. Her dogs look fine but as mine is a pup I want to do well by her.
