Once or twice per day feeding

[channa]

what you don't want to do is work an unfed dog and eating once a day can harm humans, its one of the things that can lead to type 2 diabetes and IBS (fluctuating sugar levels and digestive tract action / inaction respectively). A dog worked without sufficient fuel will stop and can collapse, this is why some pickers up etc feed high energy snacks mid-point.

 

relating dogs to the Wolf is sort of dumber than relating us to stone age man as they are more generations removed than we are from stone age man. The American timber wolf (the most compared to dogs) is now known to have zero genetic link to the modern dog ie. it never came into its breeding. The Wolf type Canid / canids that did make up the domestic dog is actually unknown and perhaps long extinct from Europe / Africa, so we know little of how it hunted and how often it fed.

I always thought it was the gray wolf,domesticated around 30,000 years ago...Domestication perfected by the Romans? Sorry entirely different topic but im very interested in it.

Nobody can find the correct wolf type of canid because the species diverts, what is known is were and what wasn't in the mix for sure. Lots of work published recently on the subject as the study of Chimps ended the Biologists turned their attention to dogs. It could be 90,000 years ago but the burden of proof is tough to confirm a real link in everyday life

I feed mine twice a day split 50/50. If I fed them their daily allowance in one go I would have a kennel full of **** every morning.
