Thanks for all the advice. Seems he is getting enough. I have been checking on the growth/weight charts and he seems to weigh what he should for his height. He is a big boy - as is his dad. I can feel his ribs - so he is not being overfed. Training doesn't last for too long - no longer than 10 mins at a time. He seems to be ok with that time frame, any more than that and he gets bored. I tried with less treats today - a couple of treats and then just some good old fashioned back scratching - he responded well to that. I will start cutting out the weetbix as of tomorrow - will keep up the tinned food until the three tins we have are finished. I am unsure about the supercoat - have received mixed advice - the breeders two dogs are on it and they are beautiful healthy, good tempered champions. He doesn't seem to poo more than the norm - three times a day. They aren't sloppy or smelly - so I am guessing that is ok.

I am trying to work out if I am underfeeding my puppy. As per breeder suggestions my 9 week old golden retriever gets: Breakfast - 1.5 weetbix with milk and 1/4 large tin pedigree puppy food Lunch - 3/4 C supercoat for large breed puppy food and 1 chicken wing Dinner - 1.5 weetbix with milk and 1/4 large tin pedigree puppy food He gets puppy treats during training - and this seems to be the problem....he goes nutso for them, when there are no more he sometimes starts growling, jumping up and nipping for more. When he behaves like this we walk away and refuse to play with him. Is he getting enough food. (He is a very large pup already, at 8 weeks he was 8.5 kilograms and 33cm from paw to shoulder when sitting (twice the size of all his brothers and sisters) I was going to attach a picture - but I have yet to work out how to do it :)
