I have been feeding raw to my JRTs (I breed occasionally) the JRT fosters the whippets and now the BC for the past 4 years. I know breeders who have been doing it for over 20 years. Interestingly their dogs live longer than average, sometimes a LOT longer than average for the breed.
I went back to school to get a new piece of paper (I am now a forensic biotechnologist) at at times would pick up Orijen if I was to busy to get raw. They did ok or Orijen but they do even better on raw. All my dogs race and most do agility. I can tell by the placings looking back what they were on.
Raw can be cheaper if you plan ahead. I have a dedicated freezer (we have 7 dogs of our own and can have a couple extra at any given time) and buy 400 pounds or so of raw at a time from a raw co op.
I remember when I first switched to raw-the dogs looked at me like they couldn't believe their luck. This was as good as 'people' food.!!!
