Taflar/Peggy - you are quite correct when you say that anyone on Go Corgi can express their opinion even of it is the wrong one. I apologise for giving you the impression that you cannot express your opinion at any time. Please do. Contrary to what you think, I appreciate your input very much. There is no such thing as free speech but we want to come as close to it as possible and within normal boundaries. Having said That, in my opinion it is dangerous to try and influence new or inexperience owners of Corgis to shift out of puppy food for their puppies on the basis that normal Corgi puppies don't require puppy food. Here is what one high quality dry food for puppies has included to make it specific for puppies benefit as opposed to adult food and senior food: extra protein, minerals (calcium etc) and energy food to help puppies grow up strong and healthy; DHA (Omega 3 fatty acid from fish oil) which is essential in the development of puppies brains and nervous system.

Large size breeds are treated differently - shorter span on puppy food diet and a different formulated puppy food.

An internationally recognised Pembroke breeder and show conformation judge says that many Corgis in the USA and in some other places are not endeared with strong bone and have other debilitating factors - she thinks it is because too many Corgi puppies in the USA etc come off puppy food too soon.
