Hello We have been feeding the Diamond natural line since it came out. We bred to unproven bitches and both had healthy litters. One of those bitches was a 7 year old bitch. We just bred one of those bitches now almost two years later and she is again in whelp. So we are not seeing any fertility trouble with bitches on the Diamond natural food as of now.

Hopefully 2010 will bring some babies.. Brenda Banister www.midnightsunshepherds.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
