    I can't say, but the important thing is to keep your dog lean especially a growing puppy. Your dog definitely should be narrower at the waist than the hips and chest.
    You should be able to easily feel the ribs, but not see them. Each dog is
    Different. Standard recommendations are a good place to start, but each dog
    Must have its food adjusted to its individual needs. Here is a link to a good illustrated guide,
