A Few More Pics Of My Crew

Archer-

I totally understand the MP. I keep saying, I'm going to makea tee shirt that say "Yes, I have treats, I owen a MP"!!
 
Aria is such a stunning girl. Her color always takes my breath away. She looks so grown up now, but then when I see her next to Archer she still looks like a little baby. :)

I love the picture of her in her Sweater. I'm going to have to snatch that one. :)

How do you still have grass in the backyard with 3 dogs??

I do most of our exercising away from home and save the yard for training and their zoomie romps. My yard is only 9,000 sq/ft so not horribly small, but put two Dobies back there and it seems smaller. Wish I had more room for them to run. There are areas where Aria has pulled up some grass, the little goat, but not many.

Also I have a pretty insane lawncare regime and seed and fertilize with a pretty strict schedule. I like having a lush lawn. The dogs too.

Thanks, Katja! I feel the same way . Something luckily still helps me see the puppy in her! I thank Archer for that. Man, she grew up fast.

Wish you were here. Aria needs to play with Easter and Bailey. She's surrounded by boys :rolleyes:

Steal away! If the resolution is bad, lemme know and I can send you the original.
 
Awe... Great pics... don't see enough of them... and little old man "Archer's MiniMe" he just melt's my heart... funny how all the wee one's on this forum does that...
 
Beautiful!! What do you feed? I have have a 5 month old that is right in weight (pounds) but looks skinny. I have tried different food but cant find anything that fills her out.

Thank you!!!

Thank you!! Aria, my 6 month old, is on Orijen LB puppy. Archer is currently being transitioned from Acana Pacifica to Wellness Simple Fish and potato. Faustus is on the Acana and will be transitioned to Orijen adult when Aria is off the puppy food.

How much do you feed? What are you currently feeding? I have had to up both of my Dobies intake during growth spurts to fill them out a bit.

That sounds about right, but keep in mind that each dog has individual needs and some require more foods at different growing periods than others. Both of mine are ravenous eaters, and so when they were younger I had to constantly increase and decrease their food to meet their demands. Archer was my guinea pig, poor guy :( I learned much with him, but unfortunately he went through spurts during his growth where he either looked great, or was skin and bones. Aria is a more consistent grower, and even though she is just 6 months, she's doing well so far. I also struggled with finding the right food for Archer. Started on SD LB, changed to Acana. Was cooking for him for a while and am now switching him over to Wellness Simple Fish and potato. He has a very sensitive digestive tract and is also allergic to several things. I do love the Acana/Orijen kibble.

TOTW is a great food, but if you don't think it is doing what it should for your girl, you might want to assess her caloric needs and see if the food is meeting her demands. Sometimes if you can't feed enough, switching to a higher calorie food can do wonders as long as your dog can handle it. You shouldn't have any issues with TOTW, but it might just be that she needs to have an increase.

Also, it might jut be that she's at the point in a growth spurt where she hasn't filled out yet. YOung DObers look a bit trim until they fill out, which in some lines is later in life.
