here is another thing to think about...used to be something to watch out for in the 1980's and probably still the same unless the laws have changed...

by law the bag of dog food has to meet the minimum requirement for all stages of a dogs life if the manufacturer of the dog says 100% nutritionally complete for all stages of a dogs life on the bag...but if it doesn't say that then it does not have to meet that requirement...so always make sure it states that on the bag...

Also, some dog foods back then used to add hair in the dog food to raise the protein content... hair has over 90 percent protein but is not digestible...just like bone has a high content of calcium but it is not digestible...these are old tricks to boost the protein and calcium content higher to get more sells...it is possible for the dog food to be 100% nutritionally complete but with another percent or 2 higher in protein makes it more appealing to the buyer...thus more sales...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
