This is just a question so please don’t start yelling and having a fit over it because i’m not going to do it. Anyway I have just acquired a intact male Wolf,Australian Cattle Dog,Coyote mix. The father was a Wolf and the mother was a Coyote/Aussie Cattle Dog mix. If I were to teach him the necessary hunting/survival skills he will need to live in the wild could he be released? Forgot to mention he is 3 1/2 years old.

I have to puppies one is a rottweiler and cattle dog mix and the other is a rott and lab mix. They both just turned one. One is 90 pounds and the other is 80 pounds. We were just at the vet and they did a body fat test on them. Neither one of them has more then 5 percent body fat on them. They constantly wrestle and play and they both love to run up and down the hills by my house and when i walk them in the forest preserves they both do belly flops right into the pond and will swim for a hour if i let them. They are in great shape but i was wondering with all the exercise they get are they getting enough nutrients. I feed them twice daily and they get a scoop of dry food and half of can of wet food. Should i increase the food intake or keep it the same. They dont seem like they are starving threw out the day and they dont demolish there food when i put it in front of them but they will lick the bowls clean. Can any one offer some advice please.
It was not really a cause for concern. It was just something I started thinking about just recently. It never really bothered me before because like i said they never seem to be starving threw out the day and so i was just wondering.

ive been giving him a gallon of food a day, and a gallon of water a day for about 6 months, he’s 1 year old, and i cant decide if the boxer is coming out as far as the shape of his body or if im under-feeding him. I cant see his ribs, but i can kinda feel them when i pet him..not much tho, but his stomach area looks thin…just … am i under-feeding him, or is it the boxer coming out?
his mom was a boxer and his dad was a lab…i only feed him once a day. 1 gallon of food. like i said he has the structure of a boxer, with lab face..so i guess he’d take the boxer stance…and he’s about 65 lbs.

My question is this, last night I posted a question and someone told me that WELLNESS isn’t supposed to be the only food fed to a dog – because it is pure meat and no vegetables??
Is that true? I don’t really see wild dogs eating too many salads these days! Heh! I’m not sure – but I wouldn’t have switched to a 60 dollar brand of dog food if I knew that it had to be supplimented with something else? …thanks for any insight!!
I didn’t realize that feeding my dog quality food was me falling for a sales pitch?? Weird!!

I know cranberry juice must be refrigerated after opening like apple juice. I forgot to put the mix of both back in the fridge after last weekend and am wondering if it is safe to drink now, if maybe the vodka has a preserving effect? or will I get food poisoning? AHHH!
