We are feeding them one cup each of Blue Buffalo dog food, once a day. They each get a treat of one Milk-Bone cookie when they return to the house after being outside. (We do this four or five times a day.)
Both pups have a lot of energy and haven't lost weight, but their eating habits are erratic.

just to give you a comparison:
I have a 2.5 year old, male 25 lb. ckc. I feed the buffalo blue small breed dry food. He gets 1/4 cup in the morning and 1/4 cup in the evening. I mix a little wet food in with both meals. Minimal treats are given. I would say his activity level is normal.
your pups are getting double what Bosco eats. I'm sure Bosco would eat more if I gave it to him, but he'd probably weigh about 30 lbs!

I would also suggest feeding their daily allotment twice a day, with a small treat in the afternoon. Also baby carrots make a great treat. If the dogs seem hungrier than usual, I would add some green beans to their meal.
How is their weight?
They both weigh around 14 or 15 pounds now.
We do fed them carrots from time to time.
