Breeds and Training and other "Special" needs

It's not a new thing that I have heard or read about but it is something that I feel needs to be addressed here in this manner.

Some people will talk about certain breeds needing certain "things" and "training." Obviously certain breeds have their certain characteristics that set them apart from others-that's part of the reason they are breed. However, there really is no (I never say never-I learned that so that that one time can't come back to prove one wrong) reason that a certain breed needs to eat a certain brand of food or have certain vitamins etc added. ALL breeds whether purebreds, mixes, pets, or working dogs they all need training and socialization.

If you do get a dog (or other animal) especially from a breeder and they insist that you feed a certain brand of food or add a certain supplement think twice about them. It is one thing to recommend something, but to require it in order to give an animal home is something else. A dog may be a breed, but it comes down to an individual. One food that works for one dog in a litter may not work for another. Requiring a good quality food is one thing, a certain brand and type is another.
