I like using a mix since I can either save the really good stuff for really good behavior or rotate them so the dog never knows which he will get next which can make him work harder.

For brand I use a lot of single ingredient freeze dried treats. Ex liver, chicken,turkey. My current dog has a pancreas condition and can't handle most treats so I try to stick to limited ingredients.
For other dogs usually the stinkier the better lol. I'm a big fan of Zukes treats.

Gotcha. I'll try using cutting up those items!
I've heard of Zukes! But I also heard by friend complaining about them since they sold out to Purina and now she says it isn't properly sourced (?).

Also, I know puppies require a 'puppy food' but when is it okay to start mixing in adult food into the mix? Will it cause runny stool? Or is it okay to ask the breeder to mix it in so that when it comes to me it'll be easier to do so? How do you do it?
