    Depends -- usually about 2-3 times a day.

    A good question was asked: what do you feed your dog? The better the food, the less poo there is. Why? Because the cheaper "supermarket foods" are loaded with fillers and low quality meats like chicken by-products (such a beaks, eyes, claws, etc) they eat more because they don't get the necessary nutrition needed to keep them full. Think of when you go to McDonalds. A large fry and double cheesburger fills you, but in two hours you're hungry again. Now think if you arte a nice chicken breast, corn, broccoli, carrots.... you'll be full and not hungry for several hours. Also think what happens in your own bathroom a few hours after McDonals vs a healthy meal.

    Better food = better nutrition = less eaten per day = less poops per day.

    What are you feeding him? 6 seems like a heck of a lot to me.

    My boys go 1-2 times a day on average

    All of mine go once to twice a day.

    I'm betting the many bowel movements are caused by either the food and/or the amount of feedings.

    All 3 of mine eat the same food, Nutro Natural. Gulliver poohs normally 2 times a day. Murph, once a day. Oz, sometimes once, sometimes twice a day.

    I really imagine its counts how many time you let the dogs out. Autumn goes out 4 time a day on average, but when we go to the dog park she has to poop 2-3 times within the timespan we are there.

    Well, I think Molli goes once or twice a day, and Sam goes about 4 times a day.

    It all depends on the age, size, and what you feed your dog. If your dog seems to be going way too much, it's probably because you don't have a very good brand of dog food.
