She is stil growing, if she starts gaining fat, then you should reduce food.

You don't want to see ribs...just look for the dip at the back of the rib cage. If you can see that then you are fine.

You can reduce food to 1 cup twice a day anywhere after 6 or 7 months of age up, or at the same time you switch from a puppy food to an adult kibble. Some people like to do this at 1 year old. Every puppy is different, and if she isn't overweight and is doing well on the food, then it's okay. I switched our two guys to adult kibble and reduced their food to 1 cup of kibble twice a day when they were 7 months old and after their spay and neuter.
