sorry, im new to this! what i meant to say is that i have a ten month old border collie girl and shes tiny im height and weight, what can i give to build her up, she eats dry puppy food about a bowful a day, sometimes she wont eat it all. what age do collies stop growing? i would be grateful for any help x

She should be fully grown by now and i'd start changing her over to an adult food :)

Sorry. I disagree. She is still growing until she's about 18 months old. I'd switch her to a 'Junior' food by now. Puppy food may be too rich in protein for her.
Don't forget that bitches are generally alot smaller than dogs, usually about 2" smaller.

I , myself wouldn't go over to adult food yet, What brand are you feeding? perhaps try changing over to a different brand, also you could try mixing a bit of wet food in with the dry. If you do change though remember to do it gradually over a period of weeks.
CSJ do a good dry puppy food, have heard that puppies hold their weight well on this brand.

:P

I've never used a junior food, personal preference though i guess and my lot have done just fine.

My Teagan didn't finish growing until she was nearly 2 years old.

daizy is on adult csj, she is 11 months, and has been on it for maybe 2 months now. she is only a little girls too, but they tend to fill out a bit more as they get older, she may have her height by now, but i expect for daiz to be about the same build as her mum meg

collies can be very picky about food, feed a decent one and feed it maybe 3 meals a day if you are trying to build her up?? i wouldnt advise one bowl and leaving it down all day if thats what you mean by a bowl a day??

have her weighed, measure out the amount given as a guidance and go from there. all of mine have 2 split meals a day, since having twisted stomach with one i dont risk just one meal anymore, but thats just me! waggingd

Not fully developed but she should be about full height by 10 months. How tall is she to the shoulder, what weight and what are you feeding?

Actually if you speak to Ceri at CSJ she suggests taking pups OFF her puppy fod at around 4-5months. Pups need to grow slowly and too much protein will damage them. I highly recommend contacting her for advice.

I personally believe Juniour foods are a waste of time, from 5 months (earlier with my Lurcher) my pups go onto CSJ 21 if they start getting skinny they get more BARF (the odd chicken wing, tripe, rib etc wont harm).
