Great stuff.......I'm totally with you here pal ...........I have spoken to people on another forum regarding RAW feeding........one person springs to mind......she's several dogs, and has been feeding RAW for over 23 years and also has NOT vaccinated in this time either..........says a LOT i think......oh yeah, her dogs she has now are aged between 16-21 years young..........what more can I say .............congrats on getting to crufts pal.........hope to see you in the Best Of Show Ring one day ........all our food is also fresh, rabbits usually the same day as they are shot (not by me)...........I didn't actually realise that it is ILLEGAL apparantly not to cull rabbits from a field that is over-run.......there you go, you learn something everyday

cheers

I totally swear by BARF (Check out the sig lol) I also provide free Breast of Lamb, Beef Marrow Bones etc for free to anyone who can drive over to me to collect. I currently have 12 dogs all on the BARF diet and good they have never been better. Raw veg, raw meaty bones. I do pasta and rice in my huge pan aswell. Worth getting a huge freezer tho.
But like I says, If you want to feed BARF and want a ready supply of fresh meaty bones then I'm yer Gal! Well for the North west at least lol

I can do you 25 to 100kg a time more if you have the room and I have enough to go round each week lol

don't think so, Wilo was fine when i got her and on the BARF diet, not smelly at all. BARF diet does make their poo hard though so no sloppy mess to try and pick up.

I feed my GWP on Purina Beta Performance. It seems really good as she is out working for about 3 hours per day.
