I don’t know that they are bred for this?

I assumed it was natural dog / fox/ wolf / canine behaviour. Probably most wild hunters / scavengers?

Either way, dogs are particularly suited to gorging and fasting. And I was under the impression that’s why dogs shouldn’t have free access to food, and why so many pet dogs are overweight.

My other dog which is a mutt, mix of small/medium dog has total hunger control. He will eat til he is full, then we have to move his leftover food away otherwise the Lab will eat his food too.
