Chudleys Working Crunch

While I was in the Feed Shop yesterday I saw they had Chudleys Working Crunch in and it was only £12.70 for 15 kgs Very Happy

. I checked the make up and ingredients and it looked very similar to the Skinners Crunchy I had Mojo on last year, so I thought I'd give it a go as it is a lot cheaper.

Mojo of course will eat anything but I was surprised to see the Pood tuck into it last night and this morning, in fact she picked out the Chudleys and left the Skinners (I had put both in the bowl).

I'll report back on the poo dept later, although mine have Cast Iron stomachs Laughing

.

I was just wondering if anyone else fed Chudleys and how their dogs were on it.....Did it make them gain weight, was their coat good, etc, etc?

Sweep has been on Chudleys since we got her, first Chudleys puppy food and now Chudleys junior. She loves it. She is a lovely weight, very fit and we are always having comments made to us about how shiney her coat is. I think lots of working dogs are fed on it, we get it from our local farm shop and it is a very good price compared to some of the other feeds. Will definitely move her onto the crunch after the junior.

I feed Chudleys and have had no problems with it. The lazy boys could do to loose a little weight but I think thats down to me being a soft touch rather that Chudleys Embarassed

We have firm poo's and good coats and its a good price so no complaints here Very Happy

I feed Chudleys - they're all on the working crunch during the winter months and for the rest of the year, I will mix one of their lower protein/fat feeds.

The working crunch is 15% fat and 25% protein which the dogs seems to digest pretty well so unless it's cold, the dogs are doing a fair bit of work or a combination of the two, they will put on weight and have a lot of energy so beware! Laughing

I have just bought a bag of Chudley's junior for Ciara and she loves it. We made our order for Skinners puppy but didnt arrive into pet shop in time and we ran (we had to put her back onto JWB) but since being back on Skinners she's been getting squitty poo's so we put her onto Chudleys on Sunday and she's got wonderfully firm poo's Very Happy

so looks like we'll be sticking to Chudley's.

I used to feed mine chudleys working crunch, but changed it too skinners as it was making them very windy on it, and it was very smelly. Laughing

That aside, coats were they shiny, and they were very healthy on it.

We've just moved onto Chudleys Classic, been on it for about a week, and they seem to be doing well, although Bosun is moulting so he looks crap anyway Rolling Eyes

Poo wise (I love LF, it's the only place I can have my poo discussions without people rolling their eyes Wink

), they are doing bigger poos and two a day minimum, whereas on Burns they tended to just do one or two small ones a day. Must be more bulk in the Chudleys?

I'm liking it so far, dogs are fine, and it saves me a huge £27 per 15kg bag!!!!!! Very Happy

Both ours had TERRIBLE wind on Skinners but now Ciara on Chudley's she aint smelly Very Happy

poop scooping getting easier as it was lots of small blobs but now getting bitter and less movements

Schafer (GS) on skinners but may put him on Chudleys when Ciara goes onto adult food

Cori came home on Chudley's, she is on purina at the moment as it suits her but I just could not find Chudley's locally, but I may google and find a place I can buy it nearer Very Happy
