Re: [PyrNet-L] Chat: Height/Weight Question

[Jack & Charlotte Perry <pyreau@erols.com>]

Sounds a little be heavy to me, Stephanie.  If I have to poke to feel ribs,
I put the pup on adult food. For some reason, my pups often get a bit fat at
6 months and that seems to be about the time I take them off puppy chow.

Bil-Jac is the food I feed the Pyrs that are too thin.  It is great for
putting on weight (it contains molasses),  but to me it  is to "hot" for
general use.  I like to keep the protein count unter 25%...can't remember
off hand what Bil-Jac is.
