feeding huskies

Question
On this website another expert advises feeding your dog raw meat, chicken,beef,pork,ect. anything uncooked and she stressed giving your dog variety as we are instucted to do for ourselves and as dogs would be in the wild. I thought her raw diet idea made a lot of sense and sounds pretty simple but I do wonder about "the taste of blood" as people talk about being a bad thing or making your dog aggressive. Do you know if the taste of blood talk is true and the raw diet not good, or is the taste of blood just a myth?

Answer
The "taste of blood" thing is a complete myth, although it may have some basis in fact.  The part that might be true is that if and when a dog kills an animal for food, it no longer begins to see that animal as anything other than a food source.  In this way, dogs who kill cats should never be trusted around cats, etc.  Similarly, dogs who are allowed and permitted to attack humans are difficult to retrain to respect humans and not attack.  In these examples, I can see where this myth of the "taste of blood" came about.  Beyond that, feeding raw meats that you give the dog will not invoke a crazy ancient wolf spirit that will drive you to insanity . . . that will happen even if you feed dry kibble . . .
