[NAGDU] Insisting on a particular breed of dog

[Buddy Brannan]

I've heard the same, and experienced some of that, about GSD's. Hilde doesn't like a lot of diet changes or extras...she will get loose stools pretty easily but once she's stable, it's all good. Mind you, Chet, who was a lab, was exactly the same, while Leno has the proverbial cast iron stomach.
