We've always given Star Science Diet, and the price has really come down in the last few years. While looking for another husky, both the husky rescue kennel and the breeder we bought from both said they feed Diamond because 1)they felt their coats looked really good on that food, and 2) it's about 1/2 the cost of many of the higher-quality foods at pet stores. When you'r efeeding 15 - 20 dogs, that adds up!
I did try a bag when Sherman came to love with us, but I felt it didn't look good coming out the other end - really grainy. So I'm back using Science diet. I think you can tell alot about a food by how it comes out after digestion.
