	Hello, My name is Alan and I am the proud owner of a Lakeland Terrier. We have had her for 3 days and she is so new that we have not been able to decide on a name for her. I have owned dogs in the past, but this will be my first terrier. I have many many questions, and I hope that this forum has an active community that is willing to offer advice. Here is the first question: how much food is appropriate for her on a daily basis? She is 1.5 years old and about 4.5 kilograms right now. I have never had a dog with such an appetite. With all of my previous dogs,I would leave food out for them and they could eat as they pleased. I am realizing that this will not work for my Lakeland Terrier as she has an enormous and undiminished appetite! Thanks for the advice! -Alan
