I like it and I have looked into a lot of different brands. I use the diamond naturals chicken and rice in the off season and their chicken and rice High Endurance when were hunting. I really like the ingredients in the Canidae brands of food, but they are a bit to expensive for me and the diamond natural high endurance is pretty close to the Canidae. It can be a bit to hot with 32% protein at times. I just cut it with some brown rice and bacon grease or whatever I have at the time to bring the ratio of protein down a bit.

I use the diamond sport dog high energy. It has 24%protien and 20%fat. I can get a 50lb bag of this from my feed store for $23.95 and my dogs love it. I feed them by what the bag recommends for the dogs weight. I don't change dog food in the off season I just cut back there portions. I hope this helps Kenny

I have used it for ten years and will be switching from it to something different. over the ten years that I have been using it i have had at least one out of the five dogs (I keep 4 0r 5 dogs at a time) that would starve on it I would have to feed them something different. currently just getting my dog, that i purchased this summer, back into shape. i am getting tired of haveing to have two types of dog food on hand. this is hard because i get it for 18 dollars a bag buying it by the ton.

Same here. We feed that to our hounds and terriers. We have to be careful not to feed them too much or they get fat quick on it. But our dogs don't get worked nearly as much as a lot of guys do. I've never fed the regular stuff, just the Natural.

I switched to Diamond a couple weeks, so far the dogs look great.
I am paying just a smidge under 30 bucks a bag. I wish I could find it a little cheaper.

I used to feed the high energy. Several of my dogs would lose hair on that feed, and I couldn't keep weight on them while hunting hard. The truck load of turds that never dried up, along with all of the other issues made me change feed and I'm glad I did.

I used it for years when I was in Idaho. Worked great for my dogs and a good price. I didn't switch during the off season just used the High energy. Wish is could find it in New Mexico.

I have been feeding the perfomace one and I don't have to feed them alot and they look really good! I try to run my dogs every other day and feed two cups of it and they don't look skinny at all! I also feed the puppy food to my pups and it keeps them nice and healthy!! I agree with it but that's just me lol

My dogs nearly starved to death on it when I started hunting hard. I had to switch feeds.

Agree with Kenny, also i noticed a big difference in my plotts coats after feeding them this, makes them look awesome. High Energy is the ticket, all 5 hounds lick it up like kids with candy hahaha
