On this web page, Canadian breeders give description of a natural
diet they use to raise and sustain their Dachshunds. Although,
I find this diet quite good, I would add to it raw bones (twice
a week), substitute
ground meat with fresh or unfrozen
raw meat (amount of fat in meat should be adjusted based on weather
and workload), and subtract the supplements.
