3 years old is when my last GSD filled out to 105 lbs., My new pup Rebell shares the same grandfather looks like he's going to follow suit, 51.6 lbs at 19 weeks.
When do you switch from puppy food portions to adult food portions? Ollie will be a year next week and is eating 6 cups/day. He is 85 lbs. Not as ribb-y as he was a few months ago but still has a defined waist. We fly through bags of food. When should we start to taper that down?

I think whatever keeps your dog at a healthy weight is best. We switched to a higher calorie food because of this reason though, he was slightly underweight (ribs/hipbones very visible) on another brand and rather than boosting the food to a large amount, we switched to half raw half higher-calorie kibble and he is now at a healthy weight.
He's been on adult food since 6 months.
