Good luck with the studying Mark  :D

I will PM you Sunday or Monday with the results - as you have got so many with good foods on here I'll just do some of the other foods unless people have behaviour issues on the good foods  :D

(For anyone wondering, I have been asking people in the pet food shop, that I work in, if they will answer the questions for Mark  :D and some of them feed Bakers, and other makes, so that Mark can have responses from a wider variety of different dog foods and breed of dogs :D )

Nell (Lab) nearly 8 years. Fed on Nutro as a puppy. We feed Burns and alternate between the Chicken, Fish, Lamb, and Venison.  For her evening meal, we add Nature Diet, or pilchards in tomato sauce plus veg. She has marrow bones and raw carrot for teeth cleaning.

For treats she has gravy bones,  she has a piece of cheese of an evening to down her thyroid tablet.
No behavoural problems, unless you count selective hearing  ::) Nell does and can go over the top sometimes, she has boundless energy for an nearly 9 year old. :blink:

Mabel : 16 weeks old
Proplan puppy (used to have some tripe to top it, but not any more)

no behaviour problems and good coat, she is a little nervous of new people and dogs but has a very quick acceptance time to them and settles within a few mins

she is a normal energetic pup, but also loves cuddling ;)

hope that helps
Phil

If you are needing a broader spectrum of dogs, I'll post for my Dad's dog too, as she has a less ideal diet (though through my influence it is improving).

Flora - 8 1/2 yr old Border Collie.

Breakfast - 2 Bonios
Tea - Was Bakers Complete, recently changed to Pedigree Better by Nature Pouches - originally with Gravy Bones, but now with JWB kibble. And lots of table scraps.

Has recently been given an occassional chicken wing, away from meal times, as I felt this might help her breath.

Behaviour issues - Dog fear-aggressive - worse when on lead, and with particular dogs.
Other issues - Horrifically bad breath  ph34r

Penny  on raw diet  (from 8 weeks old)- Juliette de bairacli levy's natural rearing diet which also consists of herbs- no problems.

Logan raw as above,  from birth- likes a bit of a bark at some dogs, but will quieten down and becomes settled.

Phoebe raw as above , from birth- again she's bossy by nature so not sure if this is diet related but does like a bark when out.



At home all good as gold apart from the puppy chewing phase.

Sam 15 months old, fed on Burns Adult Fish and Brown Rice.  Food is soaked with warm water and sometimes has some Tuna through it.

No major behavioural issues, just a bit of a barker!
Dogs are natural optimists and believe if they stare hard enough and long enough, the icing on the cake could be theirs.

Tilly 2yrs in july

recently changed to Arden Grange from purina pro plan, adult chicken.

pulls on lead, likes to have a chew on the rug when is left (but not an everyday thing), doesn't like it when one off her pack (myself,OH or daughter  :005:) leave her when out on a walk, if one off us goes into shop will make silly whimpering noises even though i could still be with her until whoever returns  :005:
apart from that she is really good very submissive around other dogs, and has no probs with anyone touching her food or bones etc ;)

Smudge, Cocker, 18 months Burns Lamb and Brown Rice (he had Burns small bites puppy food before)  & a tad of Winalot meat

Suzie B/C 12 Yrs 6 months Winalot complete and a bigger helping of the Winalot meat

(someone suggested on another board putting some of Suzie's meat on Smudge's dish to stop him eating her poo >:D - it seems to work in the main)

 No real probs with smudge - just what comes with being a puppy/junior :shades:

Suzie is too dignified at her age to get into much trouble :005:

Gari - 10 and 1/2
Eats Burns Chicken and Rice usually with some veg through it.
No real behaviour problems apart from barking at the neighbours and growling at other dogs when he is on the lead close to home, but is fantastic off the lead in parks.
