Interesting how she says get the fat into them 8-12 weeks before training starts.

Definetly food for thought there, good info

[brenner 773]

Thought so too. I know of a lad into performance dogs who switched back from a meat diet to dry food after a couple of weeks of not seeing results. Must send him this article.

As lads start getting the dogs fit July onwards maybe going along this route (roughly) would be worth considering.

Is the dogs are worked hard a good few times a week.

Great read,this quote sums it up for me

 

'And so we have re-invented and refined the high fat diet “wheel” one more time. As someone who has spent their entire professional career studying the relationship between diet and performance in sled dogs, it seems humorously ironic to me that if we put together all we have learned from these many studies we would formulate a diet very much like that which was fed a thousand years ago.'

And she has hit the nail on the head there neems.

The people who fed there dogs all them thousands of years ago weren't hunting for fun like us.

There lives and there family's lives depended on the dogs.

All the elders passing down the knowledge to the youngsters.its like the tribes really in the jungles there knowledge took thousands of years to perfect.

Thought it was common knowledge dogs don't need carbs and more fat.
