Question

all in one
Hi we got our little guy a cpl months back, he was a rescue they weren't sure what he was but thought perhaps lab cross collie but couldn't say. He had parvo virus and thus malnutrition as a young pup he almost passed twice but was a little fighter :) and has finally picked up weight recently. He had knuckling over which has since corrected itself. I have attached a pic of him before he was sick as a young young pup and then a few more pics of him at about 4months old (current age). He may be behind in development due to the malnutrition when he was younger. But after looking around all his characteristics,markings and build makes me think he is a Mantle Dane pup. He has white paws, white tip on tail, white chest and white line between the eyes, white muzzle, has a black back and a white collar with a small break on the one side. He is white but in the pics he is a bit dirty from his muddy day so ignore that off white colour lol... Hopefully you can tell if he is a dane pup as we want to feed him correctly for the type of dog he is. Thanks for the help!

Answer
I don't know that he is pure bred Dane, but from the pictures he does look Dane Mix at least. you didn't include how much he weighs, which would give me a little better idea of his size, I cannot really tell from the photos. If he is Dane or Dane Mix he nerds to be on a large breed puppy or even a large breed adult food, depending on what you are able to get. I'm not sure what you cab purchase in that area but if you want to send me a list I can certainly tell you what would be best.
