A good place for someone trying to find a good product for their dog is "dog food analysis".
This is my personal opinion and that of several breeders and yorkie owners I know.

I'm sorry but I believe dog food analysis is one of the worse sites on the web. Only one person reviews each food and none of the people who review the food have had any training in nutrition. Why would you have confidence in what they say? Not only that, but so many of the ingredient lists are outdated, you can’t even rely on them to give you true ingredient list. I've only had one college class in nutrition, but I have a strong science background and I'm able to read scientific studies. RC does have real meat as the first ingredient, chicken meal is real meat, and it has much more protein because it has less water than fresh chicken. I'm not trying to convince you to use RC, but calling someone else's food choice sh** is so insulting. I love my little boy so much and I truly believe RC is a quality food. I also appreciate the fact that they do scientific studies on their food, and have proof it does what it says it will do. I know people who have toured the factories and say they are spotless. So many people think that doing “research” is reading a bunch of different opinions on the web, opinions are not facts and no matter how many times they are repeated, they will not a fact unless someone has scientific proof.

The bottom line is that I believe it’s important to have respect for other people’s choices and calling a food garbage or worse shows a lack of respect.
