Not everyone feeds raw or really expensive completes such as Origen, JWB etc, and for those on a budget I would really like to recommend CSJ
Natural Champ.

My 2 have been on it for a couple of weeks now and are looking fab and the best bit is that their output is smaller, less smellier and firmer than ever before.  I still add a bit of Butchers to it but they scoff it even without.

£9.75 for 15kg, absolute bargin even with delivery charge.   Well worth looking at.

(No, I'm not on commission either :))

All our dogs are on CSJ and we are very pleased with the condition of the dogs we reared our last litter of pups on CSJ and i have to say they did brilliant on it and looked fab great food

Thanks for that, I think I'll give it a try next time I buy dog food (got 30kg of Beta at the moment).

I am more than happy to save some money if the dog does well on it :)

where do you get it from?,sounds a bargain

Yes, I've used CSJ for a couple of years, up until recently. The only problem I've had is getting it, there's no local stockist so I can only get at competition, and if I decide not to attend a competition I live in fear of running food :-(

My youngest girl, despite being raised on wheat gluten free as a pup refused to touch the wheat gluten feed the others were getting. So I put her onto the Champ and she loved it.  I've now moved to Chudleys Classic as I can get it locally, and she and her litter brother, who has recently joined us, are both enjoying this. He doesn't like wheat gluten free either!!  I do like these cheap to keep doggies!

I am just dithering about moving 2 of my older dogs back to CSJ lamb & rice as the Chudleys equivalent hasn't suited them quite so well. Actually, that's a lie, it suits them very nicely, it's just me not quite so happy with the quality of poos produced!  The 5th dog is just moving to AG Prestige ... but she's just a little bit special at the moment ;-)

But yes, I've digressed, I would certainly second your endorsement of CSJ food, and their herbal mixes.

PS I'm not on commission either, but I always find Ceri extremely helpful when I have a query!! :-D

daxilady, Have a look at their web site:
http://www.csjk9.com/stockists/

As mentioned, I don't have a local stockist, but the person who I tend to get it from at competitions will also deliver in my area, for free if ordering 2+ bags (he's based 70 miles from me).  Also look at the agility section of CSJ, with a whole lot of stockists in addition to those given on the above site:
http://www.camddwrcanine.co.uk/stocklist.htm

I would still feed it now if I could find a local stockist cos I have a memory like a sieve and although the delivery is good I always forget to order in time.

My dogs did great on the lambe & rice and then latterly on the command performance.  Very good value.

I think I am still listed on the CSJ website as a stockist, although I don't stock it anymore..

The huge problem of being a stockist is that we have to order a minimum amount.. I think my last order was just under £1000, we actually have to buy it..not sell on behalf of CSJ.. but we do get a huge discount.. but the minimum order is a full pallet in Scotland (I think its a half pallet in England) which is 50bags.. and storage become a problem... mice love the stuff too ...

It might work out better and cheaper for you if you could perhaps gather a few friends together and bulk buy... looking at around 20% discount on a full pallet .. just a thought

I used to use CSJ before I switched to Raw (I occasionally use CPXtra as a weight gainer for my lean machine GSD) To be honest, I do like it and if you ever have any quieries with what would suit your dog, Ceri Rundle (owner) is always available to assist - 1st class customer service. Very good value for money too.

I agree whole heartedly. My 3 were on AG, but when our circumstances changed I had to look into ways of saving money. I'd seen CSJ recommended on here, so thought I'd give it a go. A 15kg sack was just around £16 with the delivery charge, so it was worth a punt.

They all switched over without any problems, even the beastie with the sensitive tum, the "waste" is much less as well. I order 2x15kg sacks at a time as the delivery charge is the same as for a single sack, and these 2 last me a month. I was getting through 3 sacks of AG a month.

All in all I've managed to save c£80 a month, and my lot love it and look good on it.

Hiya,
Have just asked Ceri to send out some samples of CSJ for my 2 girls to try...8 yr old JR and 2.5 yr old Cav..will see how they get on...its lots cheaper than Wainwrights aswell...We pay £32 a month at the moment, but with me having just lost my job :( we need to find a cheaper but just as good food for the dogs...hopefully this is it...if not, then they stay on Wainwrights and we economise elsewhere!!

I feed fish4dogs, it costs a fortune. The 'output' really bothers me - most foods with any cereal cause loads of it! Maybe CSJ is worth a try!

How would I get samples?

i just googled CSJ dog food...sent an email..got a reply which said she was sending some samples out...told her what breed i had, ages ..weight etc.
Just have to wait for them now..

if anyone is in the Durham/northumberland area there are quite a few stockists aswell.

Cheers :)

Just looked at the CSJ website, which of the foods  would you recommend for a dog that seems to eat anything, but also plays at being picky just to see if I offer anything else (which I don't) as there seem so many choices. Just want the right one for a cocker (the dustbin) and a terrier mix (the picky one ).

Hi Sue,
I just emailed Ceri and explained what mine are on now and she is sending out some samples....just ask her..shes really nice

Thanks, have done exactly that now and emailed her for advice and samples of the type she recommends.

I emailed and got a whole box of samples to try with the girls - unfortunately they wouldn't eat it! However I was impressed with the quality and the price and might just try again now I've been reminded about it!
