i'm feeding caliber 24/20 at the moment 22.75 @ at the co-op in canton and sulpher srings i just switched from loanstar 24/20 wich rose to around 25.00 a bag by now maybe more haven't checked . but basically any good 24/20 will keep them slick . as far as putting weight on a dog put it on a pro-biotic and adjust feed according to each individual dog . you cannot go by the manft. suggested rations every dog is differant to some degree . some of my dogs get 3/4 can some 1 can and a couple get a can and a half to maintain them according to how i like my dogs to look .

Valu-Pak 26/18 $20 for a 50lb bag. All my dogs are maintaining very well on it, and holding good weight. Not running hot when working either.

Do you think the Sportsmix is better than Diamond?

Diamond, it comes in a lot of different colored bags for different uses, I use the red bag at about $30 a bag.

When I wanted to put weight on a dog I would go to the bread out let store and buy old bread,give one a 1/2 loaf a day plus his  food and he will gain weight.

I've been feeding the Caliber brand  feed for a few years now and have very good luck with it.  I'm now feeding the Value pack 24/20.  Tops,Caliber,and Value pack is all pretty much the same feed from Specialty Feeds out of Tennessee.

Without a doubt in my mind! I had my dogs on diamond before and some looked ok, some stayed thin and their stool stunk to high heaven and wasnt always hard resultin in more cleanup. I will say this, when i changed to sportsmix my oldest dog (8yrs old) found a whole nother gear.....the difference was night and day, he could and would hunt ALL night if i let him. Im a sportsmix believer!
