Frequently Asked Questions

What rations do you feed your own dogs?

Between my father and I, we have 14 border collies - ranging from about 12 months in age up to my X Border Collie/Beardie who is 19 years old!

I now feed mainly a wheat gluten free diet to them all eg Original Lamb & Rice, Command Performance 21 or sometimes CP24.  In the winter months I sometimes feed the CP30(!) mixed 50:50 with the CP Xtra as this brings the overall protein level down while increasing the carbohydrate content to help the dogs hold their weight when being kennelled outside in the cold weather.

The Beardie gets a variety of foods - usually the puppy foods as he needs smaller meals which are mixed with warm water or the Pow Wow.

What level of protein should I feed my puppy?

I like to feed a good quality puppy food (26 - 28% protein) from around 3 weeks until 10 weeks and then slowly introduce a lower protein ration. (29/10/2009)

'CP All-Rounder' by Charlotte Wilkinson - Dalerwa Gundogs

"I have always found it difficult to keep weight on some of my working labradors during the shooting/field trail season. They are working hard when out picking up and are required to maintain energy and focus during a field trial. Following advice from Ceri, I changed my slightly 'leggy' 2 year old to '"CP All-Rounder" to see if I could maintain her energy levels and get her to a better weight. The composition of the food proved to be an immediate hit with her and I was able to completely change her rations over to the new food quickly and without any fuss. Having been on the new diet for just over a month, I can already see that she is at a healthy weight and has ample energy when working. I have already placed an order for more "CP All-Rounder" and hope to move some of my other dogs onto it. I am sure it will have the same fantastic effect, allowing them to recover from the shooting/field trail season quickly and be ready for some working tests! Thank you CSJ."
