We have a nine week old Great Dane pup and are presently feeding her on fresh mince/tripe with biscuits, exactly the same as the breeder was, however, we would like at some point to wean her on to complete dried food but there are so many to choose from, we are not sure which would be suitable for her. Can anyone advise on what we should give her or at least what we should look for? I want to make sure that we do everything right for her. The next thing we need to do is look in to the different training classes tht are available but again, I'm not sure what will be best for such a large dog!!

Have you talked to her breeder about changing her food?
Personally, I wouldn't suggest just feeding her on a complete dried food. I don't know any Dane owners or breeders that do this because dane's seem to need more than just dried food and large breed puppy food is not good for them either. Whats your reasoning from changing her from tripe/biscuits? Why don't you try a good quality dried (mine are on Burns) with tripe or Naturediet if you really want to introduce a complete, but still add table scraps, tripe, tuna, eggs, mince (raw) to it? :)
Why don't you join here too? :) Hopefully Mel will put a link up to register, I can never find it :)
