Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Sardines bought and boiled up, added to no grain dry. Chicken wings quatered and added for there night time feed. Maybe changes the % of the dry food but must be better for there overall health and condition ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,570 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I'm convinced the average dog has a better, more natural diet than the average kid. How many of us allow our kids to eat total teeth rotting shite but wouldn't allow our dogs to eat the same things? It's weird. How much protein does a kid need? Fecked if i know.

They look alright on it. Seem happy enough. And his dogs are fine in the off season. But when we start grafting them it shows. All day ferreting then lamping at night and then out the next morning. His dogs start lacking, over the weeks the coats start to dull and his dogs take longer to recover. Whereas my bitch seems to thrive the harder I graft her, coat shines and muscles start bulging etc. I think good grub does make a difference when they are being worked hard. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That too would have a say on stamina etc...? If you both train dogs the same of course then it shows the value of good food ;-) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he's a mate then you owe it to him to put him straight. Feeding better does cost a bit more money, but surely the results are worth it? Even if he just adds a bit of hard lamb or beef fat that will give them more energy and a host of vits and mins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,172 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Well he must be thick as sh*t if he can't see the difference between his dogs and yours. But, as they say, you can't teach a blind man to see. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know two or three lads who feed cheap complete and nothing else....and it shows without a doubt....compared to a dog on a decent diet of raw, good quality carbs and veggies/fruit... Penny's right though it don't take much thought or expense to make a difference.... I guess some folk are happy to pour cheap completes into bowls and pass it off as feeding dogs.... Oh the shit they produce will be horrific..... Old fella once told me "Any daft c**t can fill a dog.....feeding one is a different thing altogether." True that....

But, as they say, you can't teach a blind man to see. Exactly. You can only offer advice. I'm 99% certain I would catch the same amount of game as I do now if I started feeding what. he feeds. But I like my dogs to look well and I think if they look good on the outside then the insides are probably doing ok as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like that. Each to their own as you say. To some lads the dogs are a tool to catch game. If they can get the same end result for less effort and cash then they are happy. Condition of the dogs doesn't come into it for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robin hood 109 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 is it all down to feeding though, a fast and clever dog will be fast no matter what you feed him a slow and thick dog will be just that, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
