Michael, You only want Go Corgi members to accept your opinion and your experts as the only way to do things. If we have opinions on things and have experts of our own that we can get information from; (and their opinion may be different than your experts), they are somehow not worthy of noting because they don't have the right schooling and certainly don't have merit, right?

Someone said puppy food was 30 years out of date, another said puppy food was only put out by manufacturers in order to make more money (since the difference between the price of puppy and adult food is minimal I don't see money being an issue). Nothing I have said thus far, should prevent any member from disagreeing wholeheartedly with any so called expert advice or opinion or indeed anything I have said in this parapraph.

Again, this is your opinion and "your" experts that you seeked out. When we expressed our opinion, of course, it is wrong in your eyes.
I happen to have a bag of dog food here that says: Animal feeding testing using AAFCO procedures substantiates that Fromm Family Four star Nutritionals Duck and Sweet Potato Formula Dog Food provides complete and balanced nutrition for "all life stages"
Fromm Family Foods - Four-Star Gourmet Dog Food
This is the same statement that Science Hills uses on their products for puppies, adult and senior.
However, Take note, "All Life Stages" and approved(substantiated) by the AAFCO - so does this mean the company(Fromms) is a fraud or quack; are they "fudging" their statement?; is the AAFCO a quack - they are saying it DOES provide complete and balanced nutrition for All Life Stages(It can be fed to puppies and keep them healthy) and it is approved and been tested!
This family owned company has been in business since 1904.
Are you going to find a reason though to now say Food approved for (All Life stages) by the AAFCO can't possibly be fed to puppies?
There are Other good pet food companies that have All Life Stages food Also; are they all Quacks?
Peggy told you that she raised litters without them being on puppy food and they are healthy and robust - she has proof of that, but her opinion and proof doesn't count for anything? She has been raising Corgis for years, yet you dismissed her opinions on whether puppy food was necessary.
I could say it is sunny here in Wisconsin, but you would find an expert that would say it is raining in New Zealand so it could not possibly be different anywhere else.
