Awesome He's a cutie- how much does he weigh? He looks ... solid! What's his breed?

Post more Gordon pics!

Voted for ya guys.

Done. He sure is cute! I must show this to my husband so he will stop calling my Henry "Chub Scout".

I voted twice. Gordon is rather handsome bulldog. Is he an English Bulldog? I love his coloring. I did not know bulldogs could be dappled.
PLEASE PLEASE do not put him on some crappy grocery store food. There some high quality foods that will not bankrupt you. I would suggest checking into Earthborn Holistic. Cheaper does not always equate to less cost per feeding. Cheap food is lower in calories and full of stuff Gordon does not need to be eating such a corn and soy.
Good luck at Northwestern and I hope you make all A's

He eats a 75/25 mix of canned & dry, so I'll probably end up switching him over to a lower cost brand & flip that mix to more canned than dry. He prone to dietary indiscretion, so I'm betting he barely notices any difference.

What exactly are you purchasing? I can't even fathom how that is possible.

Yes what are you feeding Gordon. That is some expensive food. I feed my doggie Orijen Regional Red and it is pricey but not that pricey. I feed her EVO can and Orijen. She gets a can a day and a cup of food
comes to 1080 calories and runs about $100 a month

That is one cute baby who has grown into a handsome young gent! But honestly, that much for a canine food budget?! I don't spend half that on myself. My 2 dogs (his size) cost about $100-ish a month to feed. Lately they're on Canidae which they really like and their coats are gorgeous.

My partner and I both voted, good luck! Gordon is super cute.

Our boxer eats 3 cups of Buffalo Wilderness- Salmon dog food (and of course gets things we eat such as real salmon, real chicken breast etc). Oh, and trader joe's cookies!... I think we spend more on our bird though (all organic fruit and veggies).

how do we know who is in the lead?

As soon as I saw he liked Seinfeld I voted. I should have never shown my wife this cutie; now I have another dog on our to-get one day.

voted, good luck!

My husband likes to spoil Gordon & considering that Gordon has stopped my husband from constantly nagging me about when we are going to start having children, I can't say I mind...

My dog loved the Merick BG when it was just plain meat. One of my cat was also a big fan of the food. He especially liked the Buffalo. As soon as I got the can open he was up on the counter eating out of the can. BTW did you Gordon breed in known as a Bullmation.

WOW. I'm at about $220/mo for a very active dog with the worst stomach ever (histiocytic ulcerative colitis as a puppy, grain and poultry intolerant) and I thought that was steep.
