I agree Mary.......
Having 'easy keepers' and good eaters is as IMPORTANT TO A BREEDING PROGRAM
as anything I can think of!!
Some young perfectly healthy dogs ( not a lot different than young kids ) do
go through
a time of being leaner than we all like .......but always with maturity fill
out and are fine.
Also a dog that is shedding in our group.....always goes through about a month
of being
thinner than we want while shedding. They continue to eat well and feel well
and stools
are fine......but can look thinner than we like. As soon as they get through
that month or
two .....the pounds come right back on. We use only Adult Maintenance dog
food on all
our dogs ( nothing special ) ....young or old. They do great in their
performance and their
general health and look good enough for an occasional win in the conformation
ring.

My question was food for thought. Yes, I know that some dogs are more
sensitive than others to certain foods and certain chemicals. The real
statement
is : being sensitive to certain foods is not normal. People need to realize
that this is not the "norm" and pay attention to it in their breeding
programs. If they continue to overlook problems, disregard them, then the
problem
becomes the norm and we will have a breed that is sensitive to more and more
things, making it more difficult to eradicate them and control them. The
quality of our lives, and the lives of our dogs will be significantly
effected.
