Hi Everyone - Below is a link to the BARF page on the Paisley website... I noticed one or two of the links aren't working, but there are tons of educational resources for raw feeding on there. http://www.geocities.com/paisleydals/barf.html As for what is fed to the dals... and based on the responses I am getting from the raw feeders on this list - it is pretty much the same... Chicken wings, turkey necks, backs and gizards are popular. Mom does mackeral once a week (and run for cover from the smell).. In various combinations she uses ground vegetables - mostly leafy greens and some fruit to sweeten them up a bit. For bitches with puppies they also get liver, beef necks, yogurt and eggs (various combinations).. Puppies are also fed raw - itty bitty babies start of on ground chicken, goats milk and variations there of and eggs. At about 5 weeks, they get their first wings and you should see them take to those. I know for the occasional dog she uses Sojourner farms and the dogs love it... She also uses some of the canned holistic stews as a mix or when traveling.. She has also tried lots of other meat products, etc... Happy with it all.. BTW: I forgot to mention, if you are contemplating raw, start around the same time the dogs are in full shed, because they will do a full shed when switched to raw.. Dogs also go through a period of looking a bit mothy and as their body type changes (verses having sort of soft spongy feel, they are ROCK solid on raw), they will not look right. DON'T FRET... The dogs will look awesome!! As I accumulate more information on raw for GSD, I will post a complete article on it for everyone..
