I free fed Clover(border/golden x) her whole life (12 years)til Onyx came on the scene. She wasn't overweight and when her dish emptied, it was refilled, granted it was kibble so she only ate when she really was hungry. Well, even if I didn't have three dogs now, I would never free feed again. This site has taught me that the dogs do need to know where their food comes from #1, and #2 weight control...I guess, if you have an active, easy going dog , free feeding is ok, but most GSD's need to have that control in the hands of their owner. Now that Clover is raw-fed, she still will stop eating when she is full. Onyx on the other hand will eat til the cows come home...
