Margo says that wolfdogs tend to like the same kind of food their owners do, and it seems to be true

BTW Does anybody know if it's OK if the dog eats a piece of orange from time to time?

kaya always steels small oranges/ tangerines when were not looking and whole tubs of butter, shes beter now shes older, cheeky little thing

Oh, butter... I have to be very careful, Brukne allways tries to steel some, also sour cream. I give her curd and sour milk sometimes and she loves it! (it is funny, because there is a Lithuanian proverb, saying, that a starving dog eats even curd, but Brukne sometimes would rather eat curd than raw meet ). She also sometimes asks for bread, especially home baked, dark, made of rye

Emm, and are these dogs, who like vegies so much eating dry food ar meet?

Frei eats normally raw meat, liver and bones. She is now on granules, but she likes them too. She eats everything.

And things from milk are a chapter in themselves, Kei loved them, but had diarrhea, so it was forbidden to her (she stole it anyway). Frei loves them and can eat them, so she is happy. Now for lunch she has granules with sour milk, for enhancing her own milk production.

Just like Lorelei She eats one solid meal of raw meat and bones, and another of quality dry food + some cheese (or fish, oil, vegetables or just remains of our dinner...) PLUS treats at trainings!

Jezebeth don't like fruits, but as educate girl she acept it when we gave her a piece, so she hide the piece we gave quickly and comes as who say "did you see? I eat it!", i can say that in truth she likes animal protein and italian food, cheese, milk, cheese, meat, cheese, pasta, cheese, pizza, cheese... I already said cheese?
But something I cant cope is with the face she do when we try gave her something new or what she don't like, is a face that can be translated as "completly disgusting" so, she takes it with the point of the incisive, and let it fall in the floor, when get away of it.

Well, belinha (my undeath beagle) loves citric fruits, she is miraculously with 6 years old and eating citric fruits all winter, we only take care for took out the seed.

Danja too . Fajdal is a bit more choosy, he likes cheese from Switzerland and cream

But - to save the honour of my dogs - sometimes they eat dried cranberries with cinnamon.

I saw it but was just wondering if this wasn't harmful, like grapes

Jezi only don't like the white one.
When I appear with the blue one its like if the tongue takes the control of the dog, I never saw something so quickly and agile, a little lost of attention and bye, the cheese and the dog disappear.

It's funny reading all the post about CsW. It's true like, Ottokar he'll take the food first and left it on the floor if he don't like it and look at me blankly.

OK, we moved to cheese from the fruits so I am going to go still further. How is it with your wolfdogs and fish?

Kei loved all fish. As a small puppy, when she saw I am bringing her a half-head from a carp, she ran to her feeding place and sat there in attention (for normal food she was not so nice).

Frei loves salmon (she gets the spine when I make filets from it, the head I use for soup), but she really hates carp. This Christmas, she tried to taste it - she sniffed from afar, then she made face "I will try to catch it with my teeth without touching by anything else", but then she said "no, the smell is too bad even if I don't touch it at all". The cats were very glad - they ate all the insides from our Christmas carp and asked for another one, preferably whole.
