Best dog food for my GSP?

[birdshooter]

I have done a bunch of food trying over the years and now settled on Diamond Naturals.

What formula do you have them on?

I see they have a performance formula, Extreme Athlete.

update: whoops, I saw in your post where you listed 26/16.

I hunted mine 30 days this past year.

They will be trialed as much as I can afford.

I run them almost every day over 200 to 2000 acres.

The Diamond Naturals Chicken was just fine for me.
I was on the Extreme Athlete and even after all of the exercise, they were carrying more weight then I care to see.

John, thats strange. I actualy had less weight trouble with the 3532. I went to the 2616 to gain, and the weight and muscle went up too. But different breeds, so that might be a factor. I will grab a bag for trials to mix in, but the adult chicken, I am also very pleased with for now. I see great stamina on it to. Very impressed with the drive in the dogs. And the tone is definatly looking more ripped.:thumbsup: Not as much breathing, just running. I really like it. I am going to drop the probiotics I am on, and see if the result stays with them after trial season is done. I think it is a combo of both working very well togeather for me. I could not be happier right now.

I think, what I was alluding too, or what I was trying to do was to make a point with all that exercise, they were still putting on weight.

I agree though, I really like the 26/16 though.
I like the ingredients and the cost.

Glad you found something that seems to be working Remi.

TOTW is a good feed. I tried it a few years ago with my then younger GSP who is somewhat of a hard keeper weight wise and it didn't work that well. I had to feed more than 4 cups a day for him to maintain weight. The KCal (calories per cup) were just not high enough on that feed. The one thing most people overlook when selecting a feed is the Kcal/cup.
