KitKat Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) I'm looking into the possibility of getting a couple of bags of GB or UA - and of course being in Brissie i've discovered it isn't so easy. A place in Goodna stocks the product due to pressure from dog owners/breeders/showies in the area. I'm currently chatting to the manufacturer (lovely people!) about what it would take to get it up here...eg a few bags vs pallet, and if it must go to a store etc. And i'm finding that info out for 'a store' - eg if they can get me a couple of bags...or if it would have to be by the pallet load. And before i get too carried away...i'm curious to see if there would be interest from any others in and around Brissie for the product? ETA - not asking for people to pre-buy or such...just if there was enough of an interest even the store i deal with may be willing to consider getting in a pallet - but either way i'll see how things go Edited June 17, 2007 by KitKat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellz Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 There have been a couple of threads, do a search and you'll find them. There was one only a couple of days ago so it shouldn't be too far down the thread list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogcop Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 We were given a sample of uncle albers our dogs went ballistic over it. so we tried to get some, well you would have to be joking. sent all the e-mails etc no reply. seems its some two headed S.A. company that don't know they have a good product. hope my sarcasism gets some response. because I mean it looked like something good. chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 I've had no problems via email...they contacted me the following day and have continued to do so - and they are sending me up some samples of both foods. However it looks like the only way to get it up here is by the pallet load...so the store i am hoping to get it thru may not be interested unless i can honestly say that at least a number of Brisbaneites are interested... Mind you i think the stuff to buy is way cheaper then Bonnie and Supercoat...but apparently better then both..so if it doesn't have much interest yet it soon will!

wylie Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Id be interested as i am currently feeding Bonnie Working Dog to all my crew. But i think Inala would be the closest to me for purchase. Is there a way of getting samples to try?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Wylie - I'll PM you the email addy i've got as a contact and i'm sure they'd be happy to send you some if requested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hmm...safe to say no one else in Brissie is particularly interested? Any showies down Goodna way who'd be willing to swap bag of GB for cash at a show?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witheverythingiam Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Kitkat - I've never heard of either brand BUT... Have you asked if you could purchase whatever amount and get it delivered to a co-op? Then if they unload it from a truck, perhaps you could pick it up in a trailer, and store it at your home, and sell from there? Worth looking into? -WithEverythingIAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 At the moment i'm thinking of checking out if any other produce stores etc get in some of the company's other products (horse/chook/cow/etc feeds) and see if they'd be happy to bring a few bags of GB or such up with their order.

KitKat Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Well...both boys woofed into their samples of BG and UA...i think i'd be wanting to stick with the GB...but i am fairly impressed with it so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Check with your local supermarket. They may well stock it for you if they have any Laucke Mills bread mixes etc on their shelves. And yes, I've met very few dogs which don't like GB. Even my fussies love it and they have never looked better OR carried more weight and that is exactly what they need in our cold Tassie winters.

MrsD Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) KK, we might be interested for the boofhead, she'll eat anything, let me know if you can get it or not, I'd happily try 1 bag at least & see how she goes on it.
