GSP weight question?

[APATZ_GSP]

My gsp weighed about 40lbs at six months. But what my questionis whats the normal weight for them and how skinny should they be? I feed him 3 cups a day but lately I have seen more ribs, hips and bones overall. Could some of you GSP owners that have a pic of your dog around 6 months post some for reference. I will try to post a current pic if i can get him to stand still for a second. thanks in advance.

I agree. Feed 2 cups twice a day. High protein.

Here is mine at 6 months, I would say she weighed between 40-45 pounds, she is now 1 year 7 months and at 55 pounds.

How tall is the dog? I have a 50 pound dog that is too thin and a 50 pound dog that is too fat. The former is a 25", nine month old male and the latter is a coming four year old 22" female.

My girl at 6-8 months I think...35 pounds out of shape. In my profile pic she is about 50 lbs and a year old.

He is about 21in at the top of his front shoulders. sorry for the pic size and quality had to pull off the phone.

While your pup may look thin realize that in growth and development not everything proceeds at the same rate. Relate it to a short pudgy 7th grader that shoots up as a freshmen and looks lanky, then as a senior muscle fills out that lankyness. Make sure they are getting a good quality food, plenty of excercise. Give it time, its just a pup everything will even out with maturity.
