    From the sound of it, you might just be supplying El Borracho his daily dinner too!

    The duck dogs will get the taste of possum and be more interested in possum than duck. Just my opinion thou,the work dogs get fed possum. Any suggestions about feeding frozen meat too dogs anyone?

    Dundee there is nothing wrong with feeding frozen food. I often give it to the boy when he needs something to do as it takes a bit longer to get through.

    Glade your dogs are enjoying the Mixed treats Mr Dundee .As for the possum ,my experience it makes them fart some thing wicked.
    Raw beef is almost as bad ,bit hard on your eye's & nose if the dog travels inside your wagon .

    Gidday Dundee, nothing wrong with frozen meat, think of it as a big popsicle chew toy for your dog Also kills any parasites in the coon if its been in the freezer for a month. I feed them whole, guts and all, cut up with the axe. no skins or hocks due to nasty claws. I find it lean also, but something about them really puts condition on a dog quick. I don't feed them coon too often, only when needed. I fed coons to dogs that saw them regularly as deer dogs, and never had a problem with them chasing possums. Once its skinned, chopped up and frozen its just meat to them. And yes, beware the coon fart

    Thanks all. yeah I know the coon smell from a dog,not nice. My dogs might get some popcicles of different flavours soon.

    While on the topic of dog biscuits. Tux must of been the menu for Husain Bolt to win gold,just kidding well done that man but he won't beat my Bolt that can run top speed of 52km/h. I know you won't mind Eeebees but how fast can everyones dog run or shall we start a new thread?

    Bolt is a fast, slobbery bastard but I reckon Jet would keep up.

    My old whippets were clocked at just under 60km on a speed gun, they were family couch potatoes and not racing dogs. (See the father and son pair in my avatar. My dog was the mother to the young one pictured.)

    Jet and Bolt better have a race when it gets a bit dryer.

    The only disadvantage is it needs to be kept frozen.
    I saw an independant survey in a farming paper where it out performed the other products ( including Tux, Purina, Eukanuba etc) and worked out at about 1/4 the price per feed.
    My sister feeds her Bergamasco on the Mighty Mix...she gave me some samples for my dogs to try and they seemed to really like it...unfortunately I do not have a big enough freezer

    If he won, Bolt would be the first dog to be quicker than Jet. Even the whippets I mentioned before can't out run him. (The mother probably could have though..)

    In other words.... Bring it, bitch!!!

    Hahaha
