There's one formula appropriate which is Sierra mountain unless you feed the puppy formulas. I'm just not a fan of the company lol

Why thank you! We loved Earthborn! Unfortunately we moved and getting it is now a pain in the butt but I hope to be able to use it again in the future.

Mr chewy is the best priced with free shipping that I have found. I have two bags delivered every 3 weeksand want to say its around 97 but not sure. Max loves it and weve had zero problems with skin, gas, stools etc and this has been the only thing he has eaten (besides the occasional steak or chicken parts etc) since I brought him home. Are yall so far out in the country in Montana that you cant get delivered? One thing I have noticed with Mr. Chewy delivery is that it isnt ups or fedex. Its always a small no name delivery truck.

Yep we're way out in the boonies and everything takes 2-3 times as long to get to us. For now we switched food but my big dream for the year is to be able to go raw but need a freezer and what not first.

Theres plenty of pronghorn in your part of the country for the shooting, idk but they seem lean enough. Id think they might be pretty healthy. Of course to feed ypur army youd need one day lol. Best of luck!

Most people prefer a list rather than have to do the math haha

FCI is the parent company for multiple registries ie, cbkc, fcpr, etc. In the case of Filas ALMOST all are registered with CBKC/FCI even if they are CAFIB bloodlines because it is TOO easy to get FCI papers and so difficult to get CAFIB papers. FCI papers does not guarantee that the dog you are buying is actually purebred, as I always say you can register a hamster as a fila with CBKC (FCI).

I'm not a cafib supporter, nor hater for that matter. But I agree with Juan 100% on that. It dont mean their bad dogs and probly most are good dogs. But they could just as easily be horrible
