I have always fed Quasar as much as he will eat. He eats a raw diet. As a kitten, I tried to free feed Iams Hairball formula for about 2 weeks, along with his raw food, but he never touched it. This is what his breeder told me to do. So, we fed the dry food to the dog, who eats anything, and continued on with the raw food, exclusively.
Up until about 14-16 months, he would eat 10 - 12 oz of food and he grew quickly. Now, he will eat 6-10 oz of food, depending on his activity level. We camp with him and he seems to eat less at those times, probably because he's too busy and distracted to eat.
In summary, Quasar has always been fed as much as he will eat and has never been overweight. He has the primordial pouch but is sleek and muscular.
If Chili is hungry, feed her!
