New puppy needs a name!!!
He's 7 1/2 weeks old and already ten pounds! So far (day two), no accidents, loved his first bath and is a complete cuddle monster.
Got a couple questions. He's pretty big (almost a pound bigger than his closest brother), at ten pounds, how do you guys suggest feeding him? I'm going to do a meal in the morning, one at lunch and one in the afternoon. So far he's absolutely crushed his first bowl in a matter of moments.
Also, i want to change his food from "purina puppy chow" to something organic. I know i need to slowly introduce it with his old food and all of that. I have also read you don't want to give bassetss anything high in protein while puppies since they can grow too fast and have bone problems.
Any and all advice is appreciated. You guys are great with info.
I'll be reading up on old posts too, thanks!

Yes good point, make sure you neuter him. In my experience it really improves the behavior of male dogs especially when you do it early. But most importantly the world doesn't need any more "oops" puppies
Gunner is a good name.
Snoops is 10 weeks now and I feed him 3 times a day, morning, noon and night. I'm not too sure what the norm is, but Snoops weighed 7.5 lbs at 6 weeks and 13 lbs at 8 weeks so your little guy should be about right. I'm sure Snoops will be a big'um when he's older, just like his dad who is roughly 65-70 lbs.
Have fun with him and take lots of photos cause they grow quick
