Now that IS a sexy beast!

This is probably a stupid question, but why would one dog be deficient & not the others when they all eat the same thing? I assume its just their genetic make up, like how certain people have vitamin deficiencies or low/high blood sugar...

Exactly, you got it, similar to pica... individuals are just that... individual, no matter the species... then it turns into a bad habit... and those are awful to break...

Also, just like chicken/duck feed, dog foods are formulated to meet the *minimum dietary requirements* for the species... they can all survive just fine on it, but not every single one will *thrive* on it...

You need me to come make your dogs stupid for ya? Mine wont even Chase a rabbit. They well know the word MINE and now I guess they just think everything critter wise is mommas. Lol

Can you come make mine dumb as well??

Wish I had more Intel to help ya but unfortunately I think it's too late once they start killing. Probably will never stop. Hubby says being a collie makes it worse.

mine was great around my birds until my sisters dog taught my dog that it was fun to chase and catch them

One bad apple spoils the whole batch! They defiantly learn from each other habits wether good or bad ones. Doubt I could train someone else's dog. I believe the luck I've had with my dogs is due to the fact I talk to them like they are human. I'm sure I give them way too much credit as to what they comprehend but hey. It seems to work for me. And I'm not afraid to paddle their butts just like a kid when they do wrong. Mostly just when they were pup s though. Now all I have to do is look them in the eye and say.. Do you want me to put you up? Lol

Ok, I'm having a total "Duh" moment... My birds get a pretty well rounded diet every day. Normal food, all day foraging, vitamins/minerals, electrolytes, oyster shell, fruit & vegis lots of bugs (fresh & dried) ... I cant believe I'm not giving the dogs at least vitamins. I'm looking into that now. If you guys have any that you recommend (preferably something with glucosamine) please let me know.

Lol... to me it's also comparable to people being willing to deworm their cats, dogs, sheep, goats and cattle yet don't think to deworm their poultry...
