All of our breeding dogs are OFA/Penn on their hips/elbows and eyes cleared by CERF. Our lines include many show champions as well as Master Hunter titled dogs so that we keep the dual purpose lines going. Puppies are born and raised inside, and socialized around kids, cats and other dogs as well as lots of noises in a daily household. They are also exposed to different surfaces, taken for car rides and been in crates and agility tunnels! We spend alot of time with our puppies and they get a high quality diet, which includes kibble, fresh meat, fresh eggs and goat's milk. They will be wormed and have their first shots before going home at 8 weeks of age. We will post the announcement of our next litter when we have more details. Inquiries are welcome. Pet puppies are sold on limited registration and new owners must have a fenced in backyard. Below are pictures of previous puppies.

Our adult dogs get a rotation of fresh raw meaty bones, home cooked meat, veggies and rice mix, fresh green tripe and kibble on alternative days. Supplements include Vit. C, E, fish oil, vegetable oil, kelp and Nupro. This rotation has worked out well for the dogs.
Typical home made mix is usually 1/3-1/3-1/3 mix of cooked hamburger, turkey, chicken or fish to steamed brown rice, quinoa, barley flakes or oat flakes, pureed veggies include-squash, romaine lettuce, apples, parsley, carrots, sweet potatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, cabbage, collards, green beans, kale, celery and spinach.
There are several raw feeder groups on Arizona. Here is a couple links of the groups I order food from:
Kibble rotation is due to changes in formula by manufacture. What works now may not work once the manufacture changes the formula due to increase cost or availability in ingredients or recalls. If your dog is getting hotspots, ear infections or licks his paws, consider a change in diet. Also, during our hot summers here, I reduce the protein levels and feed less raw meat and fish oils.
