Corn is a filler doesn't mean it's bad. Just when it is the first ingredient listed means the dog food is made mostly of corn. Dog chow is listed as the first and 3rd ingredient. Back in the 60's I made my own dog food 300 # at a time. It was ground corn, 50# of dried meat scraps, bag of milk replacer and can't remember what else. Fed it wet. I also feed extra fresh meat from butcher shop. I had coonhounds, greyhounds and a couple of bird dogs.
I would have no problem feeding dog chow to a yard dog and even a coon hound thar was hunted once or so a week, but for a dog being hunted hard you need something better. I think lots of people mix it with another dog food and use it as a filler which works.
