Max is 7 months old, weighs in at 125 and we have two other dogs-a Chocolate lab and a Golden Retriever. After considering the stomach stapling, I spoke with our breeder to see if bloat runs in the bloodline and she assured me that it does not. The breeder said that is part of the reason why she "free feeds". We measure Max's food and put it out for him twice a day BUT he eats as fast as he can so that the other dogs cannot get any food. We tried free feeding so that he wasnt eating so fast but would try to eat twice as much so they again could not get any. Max is also the hoarder of all toys, they are his an nobody can play with them. If one of the other dogs has a toy, he barks his head off! He is also king of the couch and king of the bed. The other dogs are not allowed any "one on one" time with any family member, myself, my fiancee, my son and even my mother when she comes to visit. Max uses his weight to scare off the other dogs. Im wondering if they are just trying to get the pack in order or should I have other concerns. If anyone else has had this happen, could you please weigh in?
