Penny!....welcome to the club...what took you so long?..lol...I have always 
said what folks feed their animals is their business and their right!...I 
learned about raw 7 years ago on this very list....hands down, no question 
about it...a correctly fed raw diet is what nature intended our dogs to eat and 
it is the BEST diet for them....processed dog foods are at the root of many 
many of ours dogs physical ailments....the benefits of this diet are almost 
unbelievable...Penney, your dogs just got healthier!....Ed Hill

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] RAW 

I am giving raw a try.  Luckily for me (and the dogs) there is a Blue   
Ridge meat distributor within 45 minutes (in Suffolk, VA).  Plus, as   
an added bonus there is a wholesale meat company right here in   
Ahoskie.  We picked up chicken backs yesterday and packaged them and   
plopped them in the fridge and freezer.  As far as the Blue Ridge   
company goes, I'm starting out with the beef (breeder's choice), tripe   
and knuckle bones; these were recommended by the distributor who's had   
her show dogs on raw for 20 years.  Before that, she told me that she   
had a couple of her dogs bloat.  I'm trying this for the same reason.   
Having lost both Brando and Jeddie within a year to torsion and bloat,   
I have to change SOMETHING.  Although I STILL believe that bloat/ 
torsion are familial and polygenic, I also feel that we might be doing   
our dogs a disservice by feeding them processed food.  The dogs will   
still get their Longevity and Garlic vitamins (from Springtime) and   
their diatomaceous earth, plus their yogurt.  I pray that this new   
diet will help them live healthy, long lives. 
I am NOT trying to start a war about raw vs kibble; I'm just telling   
you what I feel will be the BEST for MY dogs. 
Please feel free to comment to the List.

PS:  I would like to thank Donna Radich for all of her help getting me   
started with raw.  She's my new sister and she's the BEST!
