Should I Increase Intake?

Kona is 19 months old. I have been feeding him raw since he was like 10 weeks old. I’ve been feeding him twice a day, 1lb at each meal for as long as I can remember. I’m told his mom is like 70 something pounds and his dad is 90lbs. Last I weighed him, a few weeks ago, I think he was less than 80lbs. I find it hard to believe because he doesn’t look overly thin. Should I up his portions or wait for him to naturally fill out over the next year?

I think he looks perfect, doesn't need any more weight on him. I know some people would say he even could stand to lose a pound or two.

He looks perfect, more food and he'd become overweight which isn't good for him.
