Hi Lorri
My pup is 18 weeks and has just gone onto 3 meals a day. He'll stay on 3 for a good few months before I put him to two meals. I did this with my first pup and he was fine with it - Don't really know what other people do.
I do mix a spoonful of tinned food in with the soaked food, but beware of getting into the trap of adding too many 'interesting' things to the food as you may end up (as I did) with a picky eater - always waiting to see if something better is going to be put in the bowl, never eating what's there :roll: :roll:
As for shows, well I've yet to get to one (other than the local, SSPCA, bring your pet along day) but one day maybe. There is the Scottish Kennel Club Show (Gundog Day on the 15th of May) at Ingelston, Edinburgh. Quite a few COLers are going to that - I'd love to go but am too far away :cry: Have fun if you decide to go
. Here's the tread where it's been discussed
