I strongly disagree with the poster that stated you can not free feed as a dog will eat till its all gone--

This is just not true of all dogs - i have raised dogs for just short of 50 years now and most do not overeat - yes once in a while you get a greedy one but i can count on one hand all that i had like that -

Young dogs especially and puppies need to be able to access food when their bodies need it -

I have at the present time a total of 12 Yorkies ( not counting puppies ) ranging in age from 9 mo to 13 years and i free feed all of them . None are overweight.

Now to get on to other subject that started this thread - it may be what she is feeding - too many treats or people food will definitely make a dog fat.
and i agree that all puppies from a litter will not weigh or even look identical as adults.
