I feed Nature's Variety raw medallions www.naturesvariety.com There are a lot of prepackaged raws on the market, and people also feed prey-model raw (they prepare the meals themselves). There are several threads in the health/diet section on raw diets, and a search will probably bring up a lot of threads as well

my puppys hair is changing colors/growing slowly too... i think she might stay dark

He looks like a black and gold to me..just like my Deucy. I'm betting he will stay black and gold....like my Deucy. Deucy has a cotton coat which is REALLY thick and hair grows FAST. I keep him trimmed up each week at bath time. The hair covers his pads so quickly and if I don't keep it cut away from his pads it will completely COVER his little paw pads..then of course, he has no traction to run and stop! LOL He is SO patient as I started doing this with him when he was tiny. It takes about an hour a week. I'll post some new pics of him soon. He is now 2.5 yrs. old and 4.5 #.

Chewy's hair has always grown pretty fast! He had his full adult hair in at 6 months.
Sadie is still all black on her back (No GREY ) and just some grey on her top of her head. Maybe she will stay black? Her parents were both rather light.
Her hair is also very think... Any one have any ideas n the kind of adult coat she may have?

I used to add oils to his food...just drizzled it over. A dog formula. Anyway, I now feed hima holistic dog food that has the oils in it. HIs coat has turned from dull to shiny When I began the oils . The new dog food is keeping it up. His hair is very fine I full and extremely soft. He is only 16 weeks in photo here. he is 11 mos now.

Which food are using? I thought about Solid Gold because I know it contains Omegas but my Dobie wouldn't eat it. I can already tell that Buster is as picky as the Dobie ever was.

I use Ultra Holistic, both canned and kibble ,which I sometimes pre moisten www.ultraholistic.com . In the canned , you can actually see the veggies as if I had made it and canned it myself. Kirby loves the kibble jsut as much.

I don't think her coat is terribly short for a six-month-old. My Matty is that age and she is still very, very dark. Some lines take longer to break than others. Personally, I like them to mature later rather than earlier. She's still a baby (a very cute baby) and she looks good to me!
