Back 10 yrs ago, i was told down pasterns was genetics. My male KC is 10
yrs old, had not flat, but they were half way, if anyone remembers that...
HUGE mistake was listening to people who told me to take him off of the
high protein foods, because through some research we did after, removing him
from all the things puppies "need" we may have contributed, perhaps to his
elbow issue, ALTHOUGH, again, UAP is said to be genetics. Now had we kept
him on the nutrients he should have been on.. maybe he could have had the
skeletal strength to withstand him recovering better when he was slammed
against the wall flying down the stairs by the 90lb akita which happened a few
weeks before he went lame discovering the elbow issue. We never really
knew and i do believe genetics is responsible for a great deal of issues in
GSD's ALONG WITH environment, early spaying/neutering, vaccines etc..
I fed my B - K litter Royal Canin Maxi Babydog 30 until they are 25 weeks
old and have never had down pasterns since KC was little. Not one of my
pet homes have had it, out of Catja nor Yani, as 90 percent have complied
with the contractual agreement to feed this food until 5 months, and then they
switch to Taste of the Wild or whatever breeder approved "better" food
they wish to feed.
Here are the stats of the food.
461 calories 30 protein, 22 fat, 1.8 fiber .90 - 1.25 calcium, .70 -
.90 phosphorus, 390mg glucosemine, 110mg chondroitin
KC still has soft feet, he never did go back up 100% but he also has that
bad elbow :(

Not to start ANYTHING..but if we are all under the assumption it is a
protein related issue, as we were for many years,
then why don't our raw fed puppies get down pasterns?
Odd,huh?
