Hello, Long time forum lurker, but new to posting here. I have a dog, 6 months old, half yorkie & half chiwawa. They call them Chorkie's? Go figure

. Anyhow, I have been feeding her, since I got her, Eukanuba Dry Dog Food. I used to feed her Iam's when I first got her, then stopped with the wet food. Basically I am feeding her Eukanuba, but I just leave the dog food out for her to eat whenever. I read all the other post's about other dog brand's, and although Brooklyn doesn't have any problems eating Eukanuba, I am switching her over to Chicken Soup, after all the great post's I have read. Basically my question is, if it makes any sense, sorry if it doesn't, that you are feeding you dogs, mostly dry food from what I have read? And basically feeding them lunch/dinner? Like do you just take a certain amount of dry food, and put it in there bowl at a certain time everyday? Sorry for all mess, but as a first time dog owner, I rather get things right, then have my little one get sick or have problems. Brooklyn eats, dont get me wrong, nothing problem with feeding, I just want to know, how you feed your little ones, at what times, etc. I found some post's on free feeding, but that was just post's about people saying on the board's, "I just free feed my dog". The thing I don't get it, when people say, *vet* make sure you leave water out for her, and food always?

So what is the point of feeding them for lunch and dinner, if the food is always there? Maybe I am just confused, and I will read all your post's. Thanks for your time, and hope to hear from all of you soon. Once again, thanks, and I am learning a lot on these boards.
