I know alot of breeders in German Style that feed raw and have never had a problem with resorption. They swear by RAW, even wean the pups onto it. I myself do not feed raw. I sometimes treat with raw. (a chicken back here and there. But 95% is kibble. I would like more info on any studies done. ===================== From: Edwin Hill <edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 15 08:52:46 CST 2005 To: freelist <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Raw Question In trying to breed a GSD litter, my three bitches have combined to miss five times in a row..( two have missed twice, and one has missed once).a friend of mine told me that she had read somewhere that the Raw diet was a possible cause of aborting pregnancies in certain bitches due to the bacteria in the raw diet...I am in the process of leasing a bitch and I am debating whether or not to feed her what she eats at home or switch her to what my dogs eat.....if any one has info on problems with raw diet and pregnancies please contact me ....thanks.......back to school today after a day of dog shopping...my kids will ask me why I was absent and I will tell them the truth and a few of them will explain to me that looking for a dog is not an appropriate reason to miss school.( you should have heard all the flack they gave me for going to North Carolina for a week)...I have 90 minutes to think of a good responce....keeping my credibility with my kids is what its all about...FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
