Breed-specific dog food?

Royal Canin also has a few different breed specific dog foods. They don't have that many, but I know they have it for the Yorkshire Terrier, German Shepard, and Labrador Retriever.

Cool! I did not know that!
I'm going to have to look for these sometime.
This stuff is so interesting to me! Glad others are finding it interesting too!

I think the lab and the gsd are fairly new, so that's probably why you haven't seen them.

this is what it said for the siberian huskies diet...

I personally believe that the best diet for a Siberian Husky is one that the owner makes fresh, using quality ingredients, without preservatives. It only takes about one to two hours a week to cook for a Siberian Husky so that both #1 & #2 are met and preparing home cooked meals for a dog can be less expensive than buying the average all-breed, any-breed commercial pet food. I hope that you will consider using this option to feed your companion pets correctly.

In my books (published in 1990 and 1997) on breed specific canine nutrition, I listed food sources to use and food sources to avoid when feeding a Siberian Husky. The idea was to provide pet owners (both those who wanted to cook for their companion pets or those who wanted to buy an all-breed/any-breed preservative filled food for their pets) information about food sources to use or avoid. So that you can have that same information, below is the text from the page "Siberian Husky" that was in one of my books on canine nutrition.

GULP...

here is what it said for shih tzu:

We've already discussed that in this thread. Please read Ashley's post and then my response. Also you might try reading the entire page and not just the first two paragraphs.
