Puppy Buyers who feed Kibble

ability, structure, type, temperament, soundness, and health. Diet is only
one part of what my puppies are.

their dogs, every breeder they have talked to, every book they have read, every
moment they spend with their dogs on the couch, training for obedience, working
in harness, showing off in the conformation ring, and sitting in parks while
kids pet them. They are a multi-faceted owner, and what they feed is only
one part of what they can offer my puppies.
So although I love finding wonderful, responsible, experienced, performance
homes who also feed Raw, that's not a deal-breaker. There are kibbles that
are worse than others, and Wayeh requires a raw feeding -- or a premium kibble
(not available in grocery stores).
