I have been feeding it for about 2 Months, sp far so good.
I prefer to give them the Black Bag 24/20 over the 26/18.
Some of the other Feeds have gotton Ridiculous on Price and I refuse to Pay $50 for less than 40 Pounds of Feed.
One of my Buddies has been Feeding Sportmix 26/18 for years and he Hunts as hard as anyone I know of and his Hounds always look Great and hold up to the long nights of Hunting.

Switched over to Sportsmix about a year ago when Victor’s prices got too high. Dogs have held up well on it. I feed the 24/18 camo bag mostly. I’ve got an old dog that struggled to eat the small pellet type kibble in the 26/18 blue bag. I’ve fed the black bag 24/20 a couple times with no issues. 44lb bag costs $27 at TSC in my area. .61 cents per pound is a lot better than the $1.00 per pound I was paying. It adds up over a year feeding 5 dogs.

I fed it off and on for at least 30 years...blue bag mostly and when they came out with the black bag I alternated between both... blue in warmer months...

Then all of a sudden my dogs lost weight and some had ear infections and I finally swapped dog food to Valu-Pak and dogs cleared up...

I think whatever happened is cleared up now...Valu-Pak blue bag has better prices in my neck of the woods and my dogs do well on it...

Used to feed the 24/20 years ago. It’s made here local and when I use to run beagle trials they where a big sponsor to local clubs. My dogs did okay on it just way to much stool clean up. There is better feed out there imo

my dogs do good on the yellow bag 21/12 ,been feeding it for years ,I find all that extra protean and fat is overrated advertising hype same as the fancy vegetable based foods that cost 50 $ ,

I've used the CanineX by Sportmix, it's a really good feed. Right there with Pro Plan but a few bucks less
