Thanks for the detailed discussion.  Guess the majority of people are familar 
with the "smaller", high-energy dogs, as opposed to dogs such as pyrs.  
Generally, our guys get mostly adult food - even Zoe, so the protein level 
isn't all that high.  

Have another question regarding high protein food.  With our wether goats, we 
feed a lower protein food because high protein feed can cause higher 
incidents of urinary track stones.  Do dogs (particularily males) suffer from 
the same thing with high protein food?

Thanks, Robyn
