Our first "child" was a Golden that lived for 15 years. He had cancer that eventually caused complete loss of motor control and we had to put him down. Talk about breaking down and crying like a baby - anyway we switched up and now have a German Short Haired Pointer. Like a Doberman, I like the short hair and the clean lines on the breed. Levi is extremely active and we are careful to feed him portions that support his active nature without gaining weight.....Just something to think about no matter which food you select........Rob
