Feeding a dog less isn't going to change your new pup's genetic road map for growing. If his genes tell him to grow to be a healthy slender 10 lbs then the pup will be 10 lbs. If his genes tell him to be 5 lbs, then he'll be 5 lbs. There is nothing that you can do to change that. Love him regardless.
