Well, first, you can't feed a dog past what it's genetic potential will be. However, a malnourished dog will potentially not reach his or her genetic potential. That being said, I surely hope it's just the language difference and you DO NOT want a "FAT" puppy. No dog should be fat, especially a large breed dog like a Boerboel. It is not good for their joints or their health in general to be overweight.
Now if you are looking to have your puppy grow (nice and slowly is best) into a well muscled, healthy dog, then a raw, species appropriate diet of meat, bones and organs is best. I see you are already giving some raw meat which is a good start. You can skip the cereal and pedigree and milk as these are not meant for a carnivore. I suggest you join one of the yahoo raw feeding groups for more info on how to properly feed your kitchen wolf! You can also contact me privately if you wish for more info.
Hope this helps!

Hi Shelly, glad to find another Australian BB owner, there arent to many of us here. Anyway my boy Chester is from Ataraxia kennels he is 20mths old, cant believe how alike they are even down to the white on their chests! Was reading that your dog suffers from allergies, so does mine, he was getting a lot of yeast ear infections and really itchy red skin with sores. he also gets itchy rashes under his muzzle. I did a bit of research and have totally changed his diet, his ears seem to be a lot better, he is still a bit itchy in summer but does not have any sores or redness at all and his muzzle is getting better. I totally stopped giving him dry food, no wheat products at all, he has lamb bones for lunch for his calcium intake, roo meat, veges and chicken necks for dinner, I also give him fish oil, rice bran (1tsp) and organic plain yogurt every day and eggs a few times a week, his treats are kangaroo jerky which he loves! I have discussed this with the vet and am doing the right thing, apparently the protein insome kibbles is very poor quality and this plus the grain fillers they use causes allergies. have also used a eczema, dermititis cream from the health shop and have noticed an improvement in his muzzle, the stuff from the vet did nothing. Hop this helps.

hi, new here. Have you heard of Giant Mullein? It is antiseptic, analgesic, antibacterial--the 3 A's. I used to use it on goat pox, and a friend told her daughter in the military to use it for a foot condition they couldn't clear easily. It grows most places in the world--just steep leaves in water; good on most skin conditions and not drying like aloe. Also a good salad addition in the spring when the flowers, yellow ones, are tender btw.
