  1. I personally feel nature is always best. To use the comparison of human athletes to lurchers/hard working dogs i would question what you beleive to be a natural human diet. It is widely beleived we live much healthier on a seasonal diet largely made up of carb based foods, fruits and veg, nuts, seeds etc with meat/animal fat occasionally as to simulate a natural diet where hunting would only occasionally produce such high calorie foods. We dont live on a solely raw diet because of flavour, cooking makes food more paletable (sp). Also on the human athlete comparison, there diets are very simila
  2. Its simple no one is saying ram pasta or any other carbs down you dogs.If you prefer raw meat fine.All some of us are saying carbohydrates do play a part in a running dogs diet.So why all the fuss. http://www.purina.co.uk/Home/All+About+Dogs/Health+and+Wellbeing+Dog/Healthy+Living+Dog/Getting+the+balance+right+nutrition+basics.htm

  4. Take the dogs out when time allows.Down to work or weather.Last week 26 hours over six days.Most was just walking due to the hard ground.When training i like to start a pup as young as possible ten mins work then about twenty play and build it up steadily until the penny drops.Then i find with most dogs the training becomes the play.atb.

  17. WHEAT AND CARBOHYDRATES The dog's digestive system has evolved to use carbohydrates such as those from grain cereals - but they must be appropriate. These should be from a variety of sources, be properly cooked, and not form more than one-third of a healthy adult dog's diet.
  18. The dogs we use are domesticated and have been for 1,000ss of years so i dont think you can use wolves as a comparison.No ones saying feed them pasta day after day.I think we can know say carbs do play a part in the working dos diet.atb Catcher
  19. But will it do it any good either?? atb stabba That will depend if they get an alternate carb source and if not then of course it will do good as it will supply a direct form of glucose so the dog doesn't need to reprocess fat into glucose which would be less efficient. Its all about balence. If you want to feed your dog pasta that is up to you but I will repeat again, a dog does not NEED carbs/pasta. Dogs can quite adequately manage to produce glucose from fats and proteins. You will never hear of "carbohydrate deficiency" in a dog quite simply because there is no NEED for carbohyd
