Default Fox Food?

I ran into a guy the other day working with his dog. As I'm excitedly waiting for my new puppy, I took the opportunity to talk with him a bit. During the talk I asked him what he feeds his dog. He says he has fed all his dogs the same thing for 30 years with great success:

1/3 30% Raw Protein Fox Food
2/3 23% Commercially available Dog Food

He also said that during hunting season and a bit afterwards he feeds his dog the lungs, stomach and other organs from his harvest.

Does anybody have a positive or negative take on this?

thx,

During the hunting and competition season here we feed plenty of raw meat to our dogs. Sounds like he is on somewhat of the same track. I would rather see hard working dogs get a high fat diet. Thats where the energy comes from.
