Poly is a jewel in the rough
I always did 4 times < 6months 3 times <12months & 2times > 12months...

But like people not every dog is the same...I do think at that age she defo needs at least 3 meals a day

thats why poss she is not eating her 3rd meal if there is no taster in.
Also you say a dish of food and tripe for both her brekky and dinner..how much tripe and how much wagg, if you are giving her too much at these meals she may not be hungry

I keep saying this,... its been so long since I had a pup I am not sure if I should be posting.

I dont think what you are giving her will hurt her, but I would give her less food more often
