I was thinking if I fed him a 1/2 cup daily and alots of excercise will reduce his weight.
there is a growth chart on here..rule of thumb is triple the 8 wk weight or double the 12 week weight. As far as reducing his food intake to 1/2 cup daily.....I don't think I would do that...it sounds like you are going to have a healthy size pup...under feeding him isn't going to make him smaller...you wouldn't want and under nourished furbaby.
