The poo issue

Mishka has never had a real poo since she came home, her poo is sloppy and very smelly. She is fed oirjan puppy food for large breeds and chicken for treats when training.To make matters even more gross she eats her poo! It is a race to stop her and unless I drag her away it down the hatch in one. I've tried treats for leaving it which works if I get there quick enough to clean it up before she fininished eating the treat. I have even tried putting pepper on it, but she still ate it then I'm sure she asked if next time I could salt it as well.

May be if they were real poo's she wouldn't eat them she never eats Molly's poo.
Any suggestions about both problems, I know you Guy's don't mind talking about POO.
Oh her wait is fine and although not the liveliest of pups she seems ok in her self.

LOL...oh we can all discuss poo quite happily!

I found chicken upset my lad, I have to stick to fish based everything so maybe your girl can't deal with it either??

Neither of mine can eat chicken! I feed raw tripe & meaty lamb bones (ribs & necks mainly).

A friend of mine had the same problem (not her, you understand, but her dog!) and she tried Butchers Tripe (meat loaf type) and things went back to normal.

How long have you had her and did her breeder feed her on Origen.
Sounds as though she is not digesting it properly.
If you have suddenly changed food could have upset her or you may be feeding too much.
Have you contacted her breeder at all she may be able to help.
If she where mine think I would take her for a check up at your vets.
Could have an infection.
