fifeman 164 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 To many people get drawn into this "diet" debate of what's good and what's not IMO? If she's eating Butcher's then stick with it,she will do grand on it,be better than chopping & changing her diet that's a fact! Some of the best working lurchers I've ever seen were fed nothing flashy & I mean dogs that were run harder than 99.9% of dogs in the land & they took no harm..my brother owned such a dog,it got fed a handful of kibble,a few slices of bread & 1/2 of one of them sloppy brawn sausage type things,in it's 18 best nights lamping albeit obviously not consecutive the dog caught over 400 hares,yeah that's the truth,if your dogs eating something trust me it's better than eating nothing!! Good luck buddy & I'm sure your pooch will do just grand I remember some of the lads I used to ratch about with back in the day allways fed school dinners. Used to go to the pigswill bins at school with a washing up bowl and fill it, there dogs allways did well back then on the longlugs 2 Quote Link to post
