ok so i have a list of question. Is blue buffalo or TOTW a better food? Our pup is 12 weeks. They are both good foods. However, TOTW is grain-free where as Blue Buffalo is not unless you buy Blue Buffalo Wilderness which is grain free but is more expensive than TOTW. What are your views on ear cropping? It's personal preference. I like crops on some dogs and some dogs look silly with a crop. Personally, I like floppy ears. Do they have to be cropped to show? No, but some seem to think that a cropped dog does better - depending on the registry of course. do you think fixing your dog is a must if it doesnt cause any issues? Again this is a personal preference. I would rather leave a dog intact if it was up to me. I don't really see the need to fix a dog if you are responsible. if you feed raw, should you do it everyday or do you think twice a week is ok? If you can afford to feed raw everyday then go for it. But if it is only a couple times a week then that is ok too. If I could afford it right now I would be feeding raw everyday.
