I think it's just a breed trait, or at least much more common in the breed vs. others... they are gluttons!
I've owned and fostered a lot of different breeds, and never seen a dog act so hungry ALL the time like Leon!

Leon could seriously, I kid you not, eat 10-20cups of food a day and still he'd go back to his bowl to look for more.
I'd never feed him that much, but one day my husband fed him 5 bowls of food from 7am-5pm, I am sure that is up in that range of 10-20cups lol... because he didn't know better, he said Leon kept acting hungry so he though he should feed him.

Needless to say my husband is buying the next bag of $70 dog food, and has agreed to keep Leon on his regular diet! My husband is new to dog ownership, and so he is a li'l behind in basic dog ownership skills/knowledge. Haha, he means well most of the time.
