He is lovely! Quite often with lurcher puppies you find that you cant fill them even though they are healthy. I would double check his weight and calculate what his daily ration should be. I would feed this in 3 meals and recommend a slow feeding bowl. If you notice any signs of ill health such as vomiting or diarrohea I would have him checked by a vet in case he has a tummy issue.
