I'm currently feeding it. Only have two dogs but they love it and seem to be doing good on it.

I used to feed it, but when i found someone's potato chips in one bag, and saw dust in another..I quit using it. With that said, that was 15 years ago, so perhaps quality control has improved since then ?

The company has been sold twice since then. I started feeding and selling it around 1982 off and on,but always went back to it until this last ownership change. Joy and Hi-Standard come out of the same plant now.

Used to feed it years ago. Dogs performed well on it, but their stool was a bit on the runny side and had alot of odor. Quit feeding it when I switched to Diamond twenty five some years ago. Loved Diamond, even after all the recalls and such, but gotta admit, having trouble keeping weight on the dogs with it now, used to be the other way around, as they would get heavy quick if I didn't watch it. Been thinking about trying Black Gold or High Standard. What are your opinions on those two. Fed a couple trial bags a few years ago of each and dogs seemed to do well on it and I couldn't tell any difference from either bag.

Sorry, hi-jacked your post.
Forget Black Gold, checked out their site and the price shot thru the roof. Read an old post on Hi-Standard and saw positive reviews.
