We love starting our pups on Inukshuk Professional Dog Food !

PSSSSTTTT…. I heard we’re going to get to eat Inukshuk!
Did you know that 26/16 formula is the perfect formula to start your puppies on?
Here’s why:

1. More Balanced Energy for Controlled Growth:
• 26% protein / 16% fat supports steady muscle development and energy needs without pushing rapid growth.
• Slower, steadier growth can reduce risk of skeletal issues like pano or joint problems—especially in large-breed pups.

2. Lower Fat = Easier Digestion:
• Young puppies have developing digestive systems. Lower fat content is gentler on their gut and can help reduce GI upset, loose stools, or bloat.

3. High-Caliber Ingredients in a Denser Kibble
• Inukshuk’s formulas are calorie-dense and nutrient-packed, even at lower fat/protein levels. Puppies get essential nutrients in smaller portions, which is easier on small stomachs.

4. Less Risk of Overnutrition
• Feeding a higher fat and protein diet to a young pup can lead to excess calories and fat gain without corresponding activity. This can cause joint stress or even early-onset orthopedic issues.
• 26/16 gives more room for calorie control while still meeting all AAFCO puppy nutrition standards.
If you have questions or want to learn more about the benefits of Inukshuk’s 26/16 or any of their other formulas, reach out to a or the team direct!

The Deutsch-Drahthaar (DD) breed, established in the late 19th century, was created by blending traits from various German hunting dogs, including the Deutsch Stichelhaar. DD breeders prioritize a holistic approach to maintaining the breed's versatility and performance as an all-around hunting dog, rather than exclusively focusing on traits from a single ancestral line like the Stichelhaar.
However, qualities contributed by the Stichelhaar are highly valued and crucial to the overall breed standard and are therefore considered when selecting dogs for breeding. These include:
Harsh, wiry coat: The Stichelhaar's distinctive coarse and dense double coat, including a thick undercoat, is essential for providing optimal protection against various weather conditions, thorny terrain, and water, enabling the DD to work effectively in diverse hunting environments.
Strong tracking and retrieving abilities: Stichelhaar were known for their excellent retrieving, tracking, and water work capabilities. DD breeders prioritize these instincts, ensuring the dogs can locate and retrieve shot game effectively, both on land and in water.
Intelligence and trainability: While some sources mention that Stichelhaar might have required some improvement in terms of intelligence, modern DDs are bred to be intelligent, mentally flexible, and highly trainable, showing a willingness to obey and concentrate on their tasks.
It's important to note that the overall DD breeding program, as regulated by organizations like the Verein Deutsch Drahthaar (VDD) and VDD-GNA, focuses on rigorous performance testing to ensure that all breeding dogs meet high standards of inherited abilities, physical soundness, and temperament. These tests evaluate various aspects of hunting performance, including nose work, pointing instincts, tracking, retrieving, cooperation, and temperament. By focusing on these comprehensive performance evaluations, DD breeders indirectly prioritize and preserve the valuable traits inherited from the Stichelhaar and other foundation breeds, ensuring the continued success of the Deutsch-Drahthaar as a versatile hunting companion.
