Just to give you an idea, my dog is also a large female. She is around average height for a female, but weighs around eighty pounds. Built like a little tank.
She gets either 3 cups a day of Taste of the Wild or 2 1/2 cups of EVO.
We went through the same thing when she was a little younger than your dog. As soon as the rapid growth was done she got chunky and stopped eating. Because she was still under a year I was offering the same amount I did when she was a puppy. The poor thing must have been stuffed!
Its better you realize this now and take care of it. Helping her loose a little weight will be helpful if she ends up having pano.
For reference only Angela,
My DDR weighed in at about the same at 9 months but since has seemed to level off and actually lost a pound or two as he has (believe it or not) gotten even more active as he matures.
So I'd have to say your dogs weight is not outside of bounds but I did see a couple of pics that I thought, hmmmm that dog needs more exercise.
OK good to know,,she eats totw, and i have been excercising her about three 15mins of fetch and a walk. I cant walk to far because of my foot injury i had at work.

Especially with young dogs Angela I find myself adjust their food intake every couple of weeks. I swear I look at them one day and say oink oink, and then a next time around all of a sudden it looks like I've been starving them.
Even my adult dogs, but not quite to the same degree.
Minimum exercise requirements have the same range I think. What Cori needs to get her to stop bouncing off walls would put a couple of my other dogs in a coma.
With a foot injury I can see where walking would be a pain. (pun intended LOL) do you have a chuck it? That can really help.
