We had a fussy one last year. Who would only eat rice pudding from tescos 17p a tin
If he is happy in him self and his coat is shinning iw ould not worry to much.

My pups from last season were a little the same - I resolved it by feeding a spoonful of tinned sardines mixed in with their puppy biscuits. It gave them lovely coats too...

Your first port of call should be the kennels ask what they were weaned on to if that fails dont use milk as it makes them too leggy try cod liver oil on biscuits its cheaper than sardines and lasts longer

I think you`ll find a nice big heap of raw green tripe will do the trick!Raw food all the way is best rearing hound puppies.

Lumps of raw meat and pork pies does the trick for us! Mine will eat anything!
