Mine is an 8-year-old Anatolian Shepherd, intact female, hovering around 100-110lbs and ~28" at the wither. Having only owned Labs and collies before Anatolians, I don't think I'll ever go back from LGDs. Such a massive difference, even though there are only two people (and a cat) here to guard.
Here she is in 2012. The photos I have are either very dark or have me in them. One day I'll take a picture in the daylight.
Anyway, my intention here is to ask about your experiences & advice on raw/partial raw diets. She's currently on Nature's Domain dry salmon & sweet potato, which is just 3.5 on dogfoodadvisor. I have a good relationship with a local butcher and several friends who hunt, so the potential for odds-n-ends is there.
If you feed raw, how did you start? What do you add besides protein? Do you find it more cost-effective and beneficial to the dog than premade food? For the latter - how do you know?
