Arrival Story: My mom had seen Jack Russells on TV for a while and became intrigued, started to do some research on my breed and fell in love w/ my personality & energy packed breed. So she went online to our local newspaper and found a listing my breeder put in, passed it by her husband(my dad) and made arrangements to see my 2 brothers and I at our farm outside of Dobuque, IA. The older kid in the house picked me out they call him Jeffrey, him and the little girls love to play w/ Shelby& I. I joined the family 7/13/07 ***the pic of me sleeping in my mommys lap is my first pic./the day after I came home, when I came home I started eatting *Solid Gold Health Foods For Pets* NOW I am RAW fed as of 4/5/08. Switched cold turkey from kibble to RAW fortunately w/ NO problems some runny poos and a bit of gas but, nothing major. Now I am sooooo healthy I *GLOW*, I have even MORE energy, MAJOR muscle tone & VERY RARELY do I have any gas. My mom still keeps in contact w/ my breeder via internet w/ pics and info. ohhhh and a few months ago my mom received my pedigree papers and she was SHOCKED that she chose a name for me sooo close to my birth moms name "Josie" my birth parents names are Josie & Max. I have a nice size backyard to run around in, we live next to my cousins(total of 6 dogs-1 males & 5 females).

"The dogs that die from heartwom are the dogs that ar being vaccinated, fed commercial food and are being treated with supressive drugs for every little thing that comes along.
Disease, illness and symptoms come from within. A relatively healthy animal will not be susceptible to those things. So the ultimate answer is not to prevent heartworm (or distemper or parvo or whatever), by some artifical means, but rather to work on improving and maintaining good health. To the degree that you can imporve your dog's level of health, disease of any kind becomes less threatening."

RAW fed furkids REALLY don't need to be pumped full of drugs and supplements...
"Raw feeding's advertising is through word-of-mouth and through the healthy dogs and cats that are fed such a diet."

Dogs are omnivores... NO silly humans vegies are for rabbits not for dogs!!!!!!
Corn & grains when digested breakdown to carbs/sugar(basic knowledge), a furkid has NO NEED for carbs/sugars or fiber nor do their bodies naturally have the tools to accurately digest corn & grains NO MATTER how they have been cooked or NOT COOKED. Furkids were made to get their energy from uncooked fats & proteins. Corns, grains AND cooked meats ARE EXTREMELY HARD on ALL furkids systems!
>>SOME say a HIGH protein diet makes a FAT dog... In >MOST< cases a FAT/overweight dog is created by its parent/the owner w/ **not enough activity/excercise -partnered- w/ over feeding**.
