ok so i have a list of question.

Is blue buffalo or TOTW a better food? Our pup is 12 weeks.
Of the two I'd say TOTW. However I would more likely feed either Orijen Puppy or Acana ALS grain free personally.

What are your views on ear cropping?
I think a nice crop looks beautiful, however truly nice ones are harder to find than nice natural ears.

Do they have to be cropped to show?
Nope. Its more popular with UKC dogs to be cropped, but most ADBA are not cropped.

do you think fixing your dog is a must if it doesnt cause any issues?
I think most pet owners are better off altering their pets. Six months old if its a female or you aren't comfortable managing your male until its 12-18 months old. I have no problem with people who are responsible enough to manage their unaltered pets with having "accidental" breedings.

if you feed raw, should you do it everyday or do you think twice a week is ok?
Every day @ 2-3% of ideal adult body weight; multiple feedings usually with a puppy until they get a little older and most adults usually just one meal a day. Some do have at least one fast day in the week. Any raw diet should be heavily and properly researched before feeding. Well unless you are feeding a complete dehydrated raw diet like The Honest Kitchen or Stella and Chewey's. Most prepackaged frozen raw are ground and therefore do no provide the best benefit of raw which is clean teeth... so supplementing with raw meaty bones is a must (same with dehydrated raw or kibble IMO). I don't know who would shell out for those anyway, they tend to be very expensive. The yahoo Raw Feeding group is a great place to start your research and they have many links to other raw food resources.
