help me choose which food to feed my 3 border collies.

I was wondering if you would all help me choose which food to feed my 3 border collies.
At the minute they are in Hills. 2 of them have to be on a light diet. They look really good on it, but 3 dogs, just been made redundant from my job ( b****y banks!) I need to watch the penny's £80 every 5 weeks is an awful lot.
I want to keep to a natural diet if possible. They've been on Burns & that dried their coat up. Any suggestions?
By the way they are all border collies.

Thanks Jules X

Can't help with complete foods as I am not familiar with the UK brands. I am sure someone will come along soon with suggestions

Feeding raw is very economical.

JWB is a good food but is about £35 a 15kg I think another I have tried is Autarky which is cheaper again between £11 and £15 (depending on where you buy it) Eagle Pack is another which is good but again around £35 a bag.

Im sure others will be able to advise you of more foods that they have tried.

I am feeding CSJ K9, Champ! at the moment.
Teagan was on Burns, but that made her coat go funny.

A Bullmastiff breeder recommended CSJ K9 to me, and I've not looked back!
£7 for a 15kg bag, and about £5/6 for postage. But if you buy 2 bags, postage is still the same as 1 bag, so I always buy 2!

Autarky is a good quality complete at a good price(also available from csjk9..see heathers link).
I would also recommend Redmills...I am using the 'racer' and the 'Leader supreme' at the moment.Racer is £11.99 for 15 Kg ...Supreme £23.99 for 15 Kg.It contains no colourings etc,is 100% natural,contains no ethoxyquin,contains omega 6 and omega 3.

I find Burns an excellent food and all the dogs I have seen who use it have great coats I do feed other things with it like veg and fish.
