He has a few favorites, but I'm happy to say he likes pretty much everything included except for some cranberry treats (which makes sense, he doesn't like any fruit besides apples).
As for the discussion at hand (the "never again" breed one), I don't feel there are any breeds I wouldn't personally share my home with, actually. I prefer the rescue/rehoming route, so the perfect dog for me could be nearly any breed.
Hey, I realized that you're feeding your dog Amì, which is a vegan pet food brand? I'm pretty sure dog's are carnivores, hence their pointed teeth and descending from wolves..I don't mean to come off rude, but dogs can't thrive on a vegan diet even if they do survive. It's unhealthy for them and grains, which vegan foods are based off of can cause allergies for your dog. I'm concerned for the safety and health of your dog since its technically abuse...?
Popular food brands such as Ami wouldn't sell dog food for daily consumption if a dog couldn't survive on it (-- not as in treats, as in a daily meal). Dogs can thrive on a vegan diet whilst cats would die had they been fed a full vegan diet. This is because dogs are omnivores and cats are carnivores. It is not unhealthy for them and whilst grains can cause allergies, here also is a list of common allergies in dogs:
beef, dairy, wheat, egg, chicken, lamb, soy, pork, rabbit, and fish (as stated by pets.webmd.com and a dozen other sites)
All of these (parting from soy and wheat) are made either from animals you put in meat dog foods or products made by animals put into meat dog foods.
It's also insanely rude to tell someone that they are abusing their dog when the dog is clearly happy from the products the owner is using and in which sounds like a pleasant treat. Accusing someone of such would require evidence. Again, that was just flat out rude especially since you didn't even bother researching the topic before accusing someone of something as atrocious as animal abuse.
