    A good place to start is 3 meals a day of a half a cup of dry puppy chow each time. You may want to follow what the breeder says instead. I do hope it is coming from a good breeder rather than a puppy mill, pet store, or backyard breeder. You really need to go to the sticky at the top of the dog forum. Like many of the experts in the Home and Garden area, I have put basic material in a sticky where it is always available. Read through it and post back with anything you need help on.
