It varies. But most begin eating at six weeks. Some may be ready to begin at 5 weeks, but give them that extra week of mom's proteins, etc. if possible.

Then switch to Puppy Chow or food of some sort that won't hurt their gums.

"How much should I feed my doog"?

Depends on what type of food you are using. But if it is dry food, I would say about 3/4 of a cup’s worth 2-3 times a day. Otherwise just read the instructions on the yoe of food you bought, there are different portion sizes for different sized dogs. 65lbs would be considered a β€˜medium’ sized dog. Possibly underweight for a Golden Retriever, I’d have to look that up.
