Sorry to hear about Stryker. 
Will he be able to resume normal activity once he heals? Will he be able to jump for obedience?
The getting too big too fast problem (over-nutrition) is thought to contribute to a bunch of skeletal developmental disorders, including pano . Hence the development of large breed puppy foods and the practice of switching large breed puppies to adult food at around 6 months. I'm much more aware of it with Caper. She might do better in the show ring if she carried more weight, but I'd rather be safe and not have her carry excessive weight while she's still growing.
