Katz,

To answer your questions is, to varying degrees a mixture of all of the above. First the gentleman decided on the breed from an online questionaire - not the best way to check one's compatibility with a breed. He did ask questions on this list before he got the puppy, and there was a consensus that a corgi was not a good breed for him. The gentleman also had some health problems which made a puppy a very bad choice given the care arrangements he was planning on and later implemented. There were some health problems, but it is hard to say whether they were caused by kennel conditions or if it was due to the care of the new owner. A few problems were definitely caused by the owner.

Food can be a touchy subject and discussions can be hot and heavy and create a lot of confusion. My best advice is to find what works best for you and your dog. It may be a fresh food diet, or it may be a high quality kibble or it may be a combination of both and it might also change over time as to what is best.
