My guess is that not many here feed their Yorkies Purina; it's just not a premium dog food which a Yorkie needs. Also, I was on the AKC website the other night and they had an ad for Whole Meal, whose ingredients are junk but it is jacked up with vitamins so they can advertise it as healthy. In my opinion, promoting these products is not conducive to the 'betterment of the breed'. Kind of makes you wonder what drives the YTCA and AKC these days. Have they fallen victim to the power of the almighty dollar?

This is very interesting. I have read no reviews or reports that indicate Purina is anything but junk food and fillers, although I am open to the idea I might have missed something. If we apply the same logic to the YTCA as has been applied to breeders not following the 12 week rule, then we must ask: If they are promoting junk food, what else are they promoting that is not right???
