Diet

Start a puppy on 5 meals a day initially. At between 6-12 months reduce the meals down to 3 a day.

Exercise

Exercise in a restricted area or puppy pen. Don't allow the pup to climb or jump as this will affect it shoulder development. No walks until it is 5 months old and then only short distances.
