Of course there is some truth to that......but in general, I think most "mutt" owners pick up their dog food at the Grocery stores where they shop.....or CostCo or Wal Mart as they shop. I don't think they make sure they have the more quality dog foods that most pure bred breeders do.......AND we make sure our puppy buyers follow through with the same dog food.
