Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Congrats on the new puppy! Pictures????

It's been a while since my dog was puppy. I remember a lot of things, but not really about how much she went to he bathroom. I know she went a lot more often when she was young.

I am not familiar with that food, but a cup and a half per day doesn't sound like enough for a 9 week old pup. I can't remember exactly, but when Evie was about that age I believe I fed her a cup of food 3 times a day. As far as pottying, do you mean he's pooping 6-7 times/day? Young pups do go more and I don't think you have anything to worry about as long as they are formed.

For 9 weeks old I would be feeding him 3 times a day, 1 cup each time. My girl is 5 months old and still eats 3 cups. I never go by what the bag says, my vet even said 3 cups is more like it Cool. And as far as going potty, when Selena was at that age sometimes she would pee 3 times in a matter of 20 minutes! It's what puppies do Smile

It also depends on water intake, play, naps, chewing, training, and excitement, all of which make them have to eliminate almost immediately. My pup is over 3 months and the frequency has been reduced and his control is significantly better, but all of the above still trigger his need to eliminate.

Good luck with you new puppy!
