I've always fed my dogs people food. My doberman didn't like tomatoes but she loved everything else. Can't feed the minpin much in the way of scraps, she gains weight terribly and is on diet dog food :)
Well, this was before she broke her hip and was eating every meal with us. She used to love to go get a hamburger at the drive thru:') Now she has lost a lot of muscle in her hip. I put her in the garage at meals but she still gets scraps. Right or wrong when I was a kid we never bought dog food.
I have limited her cookies though, her favorite. I told her if I can't eat them she can't either
I had a doberman named Storm who used to love strawberries and beer.
