Where to find the Right Meat for your Dog
Today we don't have much to choose from: either butchers shops or markets. Lamb meat or goat meat, with which the vigorous hunting dog of the East is raised, and which is, apart from that, the best meat for an animal with the bone structure of the dog isn't always available in your local store. Small breeds are fed better on a diet based on rabbit meat or bird meat.
I would suggest breeders to preferably use the following parts: the lamb chest, including the small bones which any healthy dog can easily digest; lamb head, including the eyes and the brain, which are very nutritious (the risk of getting infected by parasites, which are sometimes found in the brains of the sheep, is rare, on the other hand the effect is very beneficial; in any case, a healthy animal is generally immune to the development of parasites, be it worms or bacteria); cow jowl, which is very digestive and rich in minerals, (you can also give your dog the head and jowl of lamb and cows with the bones, because the dog separates the meat with great ease), and the womb of all healthy animals fed with vegetables; this is very beneficial for all breed dogs.
A gypsy in a forest where I was doing investigations told me this. This person had raised a lot of famous greyhounds and he stated that this kind of meat constituted one of the most natural and fortifying foods. I have followed his advice to the benefit of all my dogs.
It goes without saying that all the kinds of meat mentioned above have to be given to the dog in its raw state, and cooking the meat can not be tolerated in my method of natural breeding. Likewise, you can use the intestines of rabbit and hare. Rabbits can transmit teniae, but it won't survive long in a perfectly healthy dog; in any case, a conventional diet (balanced meals) leads to teniae infestation with more serious repercussions and the parasite survives for a much longer time.
John Willow, a breeder I used to work with, has written an interesting text about diets for wolfhounds based on guts. He gives them all sorts of guts: cow, chicken, fish, duck, turkey, among others. He emphasizes that the richness of the greasy material that surrounds the guts is extremely important and he states that most wolfhounds lack the inclusion of grease in their diets. The lack of raw grease is, in fact, a reality in the classic diet of most breed dogs. However, you shouldn't administer more than small quantities of these guts, for example, a spoon and a half for every five meals, for example.
According to Moses' golden diet, grease is a forbidden food for the Hebrews. But we now know that it contains the valuable vitamin A.
