Hi there,
Thought id share about my new Caucasian Ovcharka (Shepherd) puppy. We have had her about 6 weeks now.
When she arrived at 8 weeks old she was about 22lbs. Little over a month later and shes right around 45lbs. Hips appear to be developing well.
Initially I fed her a raw diet however after doing more research I decided to invest in a quality kibble and supplement her with cooked groundbeef. She also gets a large breed fish oil supplement, joint support vitamin and raw goats milk. After more research I may introduce Red Cell Canine to her as well.
Overall is progressing well. We went through great lengths to socialize her, even taking her downtown. We have eased up on that a bit and now take her to an outdoor cafe a couple times a week. Housetraining is progressing well.
