I have been feeding raw for some years. To this day I haven't had one single health issue with any of my dogs. When fed kibble I had some problems, it ended up with me having to buy 3 different foods. I doubt that our dogs are that much healthier than others, they just get fed better. With that said I think it's all up to you if you think it´s worth all those vet bills and the headache. I'm not saying I never would breed such a dog. I'm just saying it had to be THE BEST bitch by far for me to consider it. Good luck!
