Okay, the fat I can get (the butcher isn't too far away and we usually take hogs there). Fats are lipids, and good lipids have a lot of energy in them as well as some other vitamins (thank you, health teacher
). With the chickens, I could either take off as much meat as possible, or just slice the drumstick open to get to the sharp bone (I don't know why I didn't think of that, we always tear the sharp bone off when we give our dogs the bones). I didn't know about tha sharp bone in fat thing. Maybe I should try that with the coyotes that hang around the back pasture every night.... It's sad how much huskies today changed from the original husky. Back then, there wasn't a specific breed, it was just a northern breed that could pull. Now there's like 15 different northern breeds that can pull. You aren't gabby, just informative. I'm glad you are here to help.
Wow. Good one. You know your stuff.
However, because of geographical distance, different strains have evolved in some instances for thousands of years.
take for instance preColumbian NorthAmerican dogs. I've heard stories of chase dogs, freight dogs, war dogs, watch dogs, protection dogs, companion dogs and list ismquite long. We need to remember that according to some scientific data that "the Americas" had humans upon the land for upwards of 40,000 years. Personally I think much longer than that but that's up for contention by most's standards of thought.
Point in question.. Although the "horse" originated on the North American plate "the Americas" didn't have horses to use until Europeans brought them back starting in the late 1400s. And already by the 20th century there were already 20 or so recognizable separate breeds. The Appaloosa being one of them.
So I guess we could say I agree but disagree.
Thank you for the vote of confidence. I can be very gabby in person though. I love to laugh too.
Oh yeah. The chicken's bendy leg bone and feeding chickens to your dogs.
Put them in the plucking machine(or pluck them yourself) take off the head(if you didn't already) take off the feet, cut open the leg where that bone is and take it out of there, and give the chicken to your dog like that, viscera(guts) and all. There is a ton of nutrients in a chicken and the viscera has some important mins&vits, essential amino acids and omegas. 1 entire chicken will do your dog for over 75 miles. They don't burn energy like humans. They can shut down somehow to conserve their resources even while working. We just need to let them rest and digest/store the energy properly. That's why I feed my dogs late at night when I'm working them. Well not
late, about 8-10. Well actually sometimes I don't/didn't get home or to camp till midnight or sometimes even later. But I think y'all get the pic.
K. Nuff on this 1..
I cant pick!
