I hear that's a good dog food, and it's smart to stick with the food your breeder is using if you can as food transitions are a pain with puppies. I read this book (from Amazon) before I brought Crumpet home. I found it useful as there are some breed-specific tips for Corgi owners. Best of luck with Brian. May you guys have many happy years together!

I should mention as well that a very tiny percentage of dogs have digestive issues with grains. Natural Balance as well as Earthborn holistic dog food offer a grain free diet.

Tip on feeding costs:
There's a chart on the back of dog food bags that tells you how much of said food needs to go inside your dog based on weight and age. It's a rough estimate, but it has been accurate for Crumpet. Now, some foods are less compact and require larger quantities as in the case of Earthborn (requires more) versus Innova (less). So bring a calculator to the pet store and do the math: You can't just look at sticker price pound for pound.

Tip on treats:

Corgis are one of the worst breeds when it comes to weight problems. This is not the corgi's fault but the owner's! They are great beggars, but unfortunately, being long-backed dogs the extra weight causes serious back and hip problems beyond what it would already do to a less elongated canine. Do not buy biscuits or any of that baked crap as it has corn syrup and all kinds of nasty ingredients that are not appropriate for dogs. Try lean 100% bison meat bison bites as training treats or better yet, the dog's own dog food. Puppies do not like variation and change in diet so try to keep it simple and do not feed them people food!! That will make them fat real quick and also turn them into dinner-time whiners.

Regarding What to Feed Brian:
I feed Crumpet Innova Puppy food (dry), which is one of the less expensive truly natural (noncrap) foods out there where the first ingredient is meat meal. [If your dog turns out to have dairy allergies - almost no corgis do, as it is rare among dogs - then there are other options out there that are dairy free (Natural Balance is one).] Make sure to feed your dog puppy food for the first year as it has more fat and protein to help them grow healthy and strong, and puppy food has smaller pieces. Until 6 months or so, Brian will have a lot of baby teeth so big pieces will not be properly chewed and can cause digestion problems.

I agree, stay away from Iams, Purina, Science Diet -- all that cheap crap will cut your dog's lifespan short. Studies have shown as much... too tired to link but you can google it.

Breeders are often well networked, I recognized his pictures.  I knew that Tracy had a litter and I had seen pictures of them.

Ah, Sables are cute. I am sorry your rescue didn't work out, that is always the chance you take. I am sure your pupp will adapt just fine to your other dogs. What kinds of dogs do you have? Corgis are amazing, I grew up with them and now we have one of our own and we love him to pieces! We got him in Porter. TX. He is a red and white but his red is so soft and light. He is a beauty and I know he is going to grpw into a gorgeous adult. I really like the Sable look though, they remind me of the Swedish Vallhund. Well, Good luck with your new pup!!
