Lamb the fattier the better good grub for pups, quality minced beef with plenty of fat added ideal too, chicken not the best by a long shot although fed along with other better meats is good for them, chicken wings ideal for pups too chew on keeps them amused and cost took all

Fed mine over 60 years on chicken its a top source of protein. calcium pottasium and fat . fatty lamb puts stodge on them and pups find it hard to digest to much fat at one go it is mainly to create heat and to trigger the pancreas to produce higher volumes of insulin to help digest food better. Way back when the racing lads fed lean beef and horse meat not a lot of fat in them. come the cold weather or if a hard few days running was due they would add one or two spoons of beef dripping. Everyone hasprefered methods but if you look at a lot of the young dogs that suffer serios injury a lot can be contributed to unbalanced diet some are pure accidents but a lot can be traced back to rearing..

What do you supplement the chicken with desert-bred?

 

And what percentage of the diet roughly is chicken?

 

No ulterior motive. Just curious.

 

As Arctic says my Mrs has been known to make big pans of Chicken or Lamb curry for the dogs and I have been given fish finger sandwiches or egg and chips it all depends what I happen to have f****d up that day. LOL 75/80% of the diet is chicken raw ,Brown rice and raw veg making up the balance .Twice a week 1/2 tin tomatoes and pilchards in oil or tuna in oil. Chopped apple and thistles or dandilion leaves once a week when available. Pups and saplings slightly different but all include chicken in the diet. My dog prefers the wifes curry but hes just a big greedy c**t 28 tts and 30kg.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds spot on that does.

 

My brindle bitch is indoors so gets a lot of left overs. You name it she will eat it and never gets a bad stomach.

 

The others get mostly chicken carcass and chicken necks now I've found a good supplier. Supplemented with brown bread, veg, tinned fish and odd bags of beef scraps and lamb ribs.

 

I was worried chicken alone would be poor to base % of the diet around but going off what you've said it sounds spot on.

My bitches are not greedy eaters and maintain a decent weight . The dog however hovers around the kichen and whenever the wife cooks I am sure she makes a plate for him he loves Chappatis with butter so only she can have fed the greedy f****r them. Running dogs diet is important for conditioning, when just used for mooching or retired nothing wrong with Table scraps, you give a saluki the chance they will leave their food and go empty the bins LOL

Bin lickers, and/or shit eaters the lot of them

I try to stick to the BARF (bones and raw food) diet. If you have the time and/or inclination look it up, it is an interesting read.

Yeah the youngest bitch pup.

Braver man than me,taking 2 pups in at once. Especially being your first.

A mix of red meat and chicken will do them good and if it will eat it a bit of pasta and veg....mines the pickiest eater though so makes it hard work. As regards to kibble ,the best is the one they will eat and enjoy,but try and get one where meat is the top ingredient ,as many use maize or wheat husk etc

Yeah, 2 pups are pretty demanding as you can imagine however spending lots of time with them individually and together.

 

Recall on 13 week boy is bang on even with other dogs/distractions in same proximity.

Ticking all the boxes for basic training so far (leave, stay, down, up, retrieve)...

 

Wee 7 week lass is also coming on well, sitting, staying and knows her name.

 

The kibble I'm using is Autarky natural blend for 'active dogs' plus varied mince (lamb, chicken and beef), veg & fruit and the occasional tinned oily fish. Raw egg, goats milk and salmon oil a couple of times a week for supplement.

 

I'll probably try a different kibble once this bag is finished - they don't seem so keen.

 

Abyway, so far so good. Thanks for comments.

Sounds like an excellent diet to me. I personally would swap the kibble for some fatty bones but even if you keep the kibble I would add some bones. Atb.
