Ok, rather than ruin Paula's thread, let's start here. 

NO LYING! State how much kibble and how much raw the pups eat, and how many generations they are raw fed, what the bitch was fed during pregnancy, etc. Post all relevant information.

My female was fed Bark at the Moon Solid Gold kibble 12 cups a day maintance before pregnancy her parents where fed a lower grade kibble. during pregnancy we increased to 24 cups a day and then to free feeding. no she is not fat the puppies are now 6 1/2 weeks and are 11-13 lbs from smallest to largest the litter is 10 puppies they are being fed 8 cups of wolf cub solid gold for all of them the puppies arnt rolypolys but are lean this is as much food as they eat in 15 mins.  if you would like to know more let me know my next litter i want to try on raw to see if there is a difference. 
This is a male puppy from that litter at 6 weeks of age his ears are up this seems early to me but hay.

when i get on my other computer ill upload pictures of the puppies as they have aged.

I took it as 1-2, then 2-4. 

I need to scrounge up some pics, but the main things I've noticed are: ears come up sooner and stay up through teething, pasterns are stronger, more muscle tone younger, coats are shinier all along, not as much of that dull puppy coat look, and eyes and ears stay cleaner- less goop in eyes (usually from outdoor irritants)  and less dirt in ears. They weigh more than pups the same size.

I think pics of the bitch post-delivery and through weaning would help, too. There's only so much to be shown w/little pups; how unhealthy can they possibly be???

and yes my female eats tons shes 87 lbs and 25 in at the shoulder shes a big girl and nomatter what we cant get her fat. but also that food is fed 3 times a day to her and he nibbles on it through out the day basicly if shes relly hungry she will eat it all at once but normaly she leaves just alittle in the bottom.

yea my guys where born very shiny this silver boy he looks alittle dull because he is covered in newspaper print :D they enjoy splashing in their water dish then rolling in the paper. i havent noticed any eye goop but i will def keep you updated on their progress so far they are healthy little monsters who enjoy undressing oyu in the pen.

So, you're not feeding her 24 cups a day....right?

Every one of Bullinger Shepherds' pups, and their mothers, are fed 100% raw diets, have been for at least 12 yrs. and several generations. She has conducted extensive scientific studies on the issue whilst formulating and improving her Common Sense brand raw dog food. I would put her dogs' health, condition, reproductive records and structural soundness stats up against any on the planet.

Yes,  she is Jenni.

I cannot fathom a dog consuming that much.  My dads Danes don't even eat that much, and he feeds a lower quality dog food than Solid Gold...at least I always thought Solid Gold was a better quality kibble?  I'll have to check that out. 

Something wrong there.

Ok maybe i am throwing a wrench into the gears of this thread since i do a bit of both, but i hope Jenni doesnt mind.

I fed about 1-2 cups kibble with about a 1/4 lb of raw beef and 1/2cup dry milk as a pup using Wellness.  I switched to Natures Domain Turkey grain free
around when he was 6 months or so.  He at almost one year of age gets 1 3/4 cup Natures Domain kibble with 1/4 lb ground beef and maybe a rib, or chicken
parts (backs, necks, etc.).  The pics are at various ages, the oldest ones are at 10 months old and youngest around 8-10wks.  I think he looks pretty good :)
