Caroline,
Thanks for your reply. Both Niko's mom & dad were exactly what I was looking for. Both male & female were strong, healthy, and beautiful. We searched long and hard for our baby and are very happy with him. Being a new rottie owner (i also have a 7yr old black lab), I just want what's best. Raising the lab was a piece of cake compared to Niko!
My reasons for wanting to change his food is not b/c I want him to grow any faster. I was told by numerous people, vet included that California Natural is EXCELLENT. I also believe he's getting bored with Eukan. I tried the raw veggies in his dinner last night and he spit every green bean out! It was too funny watching him.
We're visiting the vet on tues. Then starting obediance training on saturday. Thanks for your advice!
