Here’s his poop after dinner. Hardened up thankfully. I placed him in his crate after eating since he likes to spaz and run around after eating.

Aww man....I grabbed my plate of food and went to the bedroom to eat in front of my two pups, (builds character you know ), just as I put a piece of smoke sausage in my mouth I clicked on this posts. Sausage went flying out of my mouth, score one for the pups.
I forgot you were going to post a picture. Lol

@Tropicalbri's

You can relate right?!?!?

 

[Sir.duke865]

Everybody don’t know about that type of dinner right there and my god does it look good! I think I’d have been jealous about that bite that got away

 

[Sir.duke865]

The picture relation is too funny and close won’t hit details as your eating, but I see your point

 

[Tropicalbri's]

@Sir.duke865 its my version of shrimp creole with some gumbo ingredients thrown in. I have to say it was pretty good.

 

[Sir.duke865]

Made me hungry I think I’ll be doing lemon pepper shrimp sides are still up in the air

@Tropicalbri's ... and today we will be designing a business, dog training, assisting others and lastly we will be cooking a fine dinner and sharing with the twins...AND THAT'S A GOOD THING, MARTHA! ---- WHAT'S NEXT?

Ok, I have been giving mine 4lbs a day each and they are maintaining their weight. If I feed less I will see the weight drop pretty quick.

That's what Drogon needed to maintain also.

Like others I'd recommend just kibble for now + some food for reward training I assume. I went through a few different brands of kibble before I found one that gave my boy as solid stool as in your pic. Weigh him weekly. He should be gaining weight every week, if he isn't then you'll want to increase his food. Just for reference my boy gained 10 pounds (give or take) every month from age 4 months - 8 months.

I'm having second thoughts about you @Kaiser2016 ,,, just saying!

I'm the one who asked him!

Indeed, that is a super stool. My hb and I text each other poop reports everyday. That stool is really great.

My impression is that I would not be worried about the weight you list for his age. I also am not worried about his condition I see in the pictures.

I'm no expert, but I'd drop the Dyne and the raw. Give him a good amount of high quality kibble, spread over three feedings and he'll turn out how he is naturally going to turn out.

I’m feeding him right now, I put 3 cups of food in. No dyne or raw, dudes been slowly eating more and more everyday. Yesterday he ate 5 cups of food. Hoping I can get him to eat 6 cups today. Also hoping for less poop frequency with only using the dry kibble.

Also will report back with his next stool which should be within 30 minutes.

^^ that will please @Kaiser2016, no end. You are on the poop wagon!

censored. He had a blowout and diarrhea and soft poop in his crate while I put him in for his nap after meal and tried to clean up his first poop.

Boiled chicken and rice until his tummy calms down.

Well shoot. Remember that a change in diet can throw things off. Maybe just give it a little time. Sheesh, seems sensitive g.i. systems are a problem in our awesome breed! I tell ya', when we fostered a bully breed I could change foods "cold turkey" and she had no problems with the stool. Remained fine. So, with all our specialized breeding, sometimes a mixed breed has something very right where we are getting it quite wrong.

 

[Sir.duke865]

Might be the totw, Ive heard mixed reviews about totw never used it, some dobies seem to do fine on it others not so much. It could also be the flavor as I noticed with mine he does best on the lamb and rice flavored kibble OR chicken and rice grain free, or if I can only get acana then, I switch him to a singles blend, anything outside of those and his stools go to mud butt

 

[Sir.duke865]

another thing since @Oh Little Oji mentioned the sensitivity thing (very true statement) the single fish blends are supposed to be easier on there tummies I’ve heard
