After 6 months, I cut them back to 2 meals a day.
Boy, it's been 8 years since I had a puppy, but that is what I've always done as well.

My Vet used to say if their bowels are loose then you are feeding too much. A guide to the appropriate amount of food is a nice firm stool.

One thing though is that you have a really large breed dog whose nutritional needs may be quite different from those of our smaller breeds. In your case I would rely more on what the breed books may instruct as well as your vet. Another thing I have heard about very large breed is that you have to be careful with the amount of strenuous exercise they get as they grow.
