Gray Dawntreader, the shelter dog.

Gray Dawntreader

Treader is a 4 year old Papillon/Shetland Sheepdog(Sheltie) mix. I adopted him from the shelter in July 2007. He is a very very smart little guy and knows basic obedience, plus  several tricks. After we get past a few behavior problems, I plan to try the CGC test with him.
I switched him from commercial dog food over to prey model raw in September 2008. He has been doing well on this diet and I do not intend to switch him back to kibble at all.

I was so proud of him. He obeyed almost perfectly! We're not that far away from that CGC title!

I hope to have him compete in Agility someday

Yum-Yum!

Treader is fed a 100% homeprepared prey model raw diet. This is a controversial diet, but we have experienced many benefits since we started, including a softer and shiner coat; smaller, firmer, and less frequent stool; cleaner teeth; and better breath. I feed it because I've seen the benefits first-hand.
Please note that whenever doing a homeprepared diet, you really need to know what you are doing. Thus it is important to really read up on a homeprepared diet before trying it, just as you should read up on breeding your dog before attempting it.
