    He is a great little dog, very focused and very smart, he is great on recall (so far!) and retrieves with great gusto. Just thought i'd post up a pic of him, now 6m old.

    Stugeron is the best..half a tablet half an hour before the journey...also sit them on rubber or newspaper..getsrid of the static in the car..this also helps.

    Get a small torch and try and position it above the eye, if a thorn or FB is in the eye, it should be noticeable..my own dogs get thorns broken off in their eyes on a scarily regular basis. If something has jagged the eye, an ulcer can form on the cornea, these can be pretty painful and will result in an eye that is half shut and usually with a coloured dishcarge. Bathing the eye with a used teabag can help take some of the inflammation out. Fucithalmic is the best for eyes. You can only use the likes of Maxitrol for true conjuctivitis.

    Thank you, it is beautiful up here, lots of wide open space. The Wire Vizsla is a good hunting dog, we had had a fair bit of success with ours, the sire of the pups's owner, more so..he has done well in field trials as well as being used throughout the whole season. They have a totally different way about them as opposed to the smoothies, they are much more sensible and quite reserved. Two dogs and two bitches only left.

    I saw a Lynx about 4y ago in the MOD land that borders the coast up here in Scotland..at one stage i saw him from about 100yards...the dogs were terrified and i was frozen to the spot, he stood up and walked away, very calmly..i called my husband who told me to get over to one of the internal roads where there would be people, i began walking the 3 miles towards the road, i had to go down through the deep dunes to climb up and over the other side..i looked up to realise that the Lynx was standing above me from the next hill over..i have never, ever been so sh1t scared in all my life. Three wee

    I would take her to the Vet and have the tail docked, at least at this age she isnt going to know much about it, if you leave it until she is older then they may need to knock her out. Hope she's ok.

    Rhinitis is usually a symptom of something else..generally not a problem in its own right..i wouldnt let a pussy snot go on for too long.

    Kali has the true wire coat..they do throw pups with wooly coats also..these arent ideal as they arent harsh or waterproof. The stud dog we are using also has a wire coat but isnt as profuse as Kali's. We have never had any other sort of gundog apart from Vizslas, so i cant really comment on the difference between training a Wire and a Lab..obviously the job you are expecting of the Wire is more complex that what a Labrador is bred to do, Kali's began training at 6m old and i would say its really been in the last year that she has brought everything together..as you say..you get out what you p

    One of my dogs has an old injury of a knocked up toe..as Molly says it ends up calloused, but rarely bothers her unless she has been doing a certain type of running, the toe itself feels thickened compared to all the rest. When she first knocked up the toe, i taped it to the toes on either side which helped keep it stable, Arnica is a great help in these cases as it reduces swelling and acts as an anti-inflammatory. I find Metacam better than Rimadyl in these cases.

    What you describe is what my husband uses this bitch for..the advantages of a HPR for a single shooter are that you have one dog doing everything for you. My husband often takes her out over land where he has permission and she cant hunt, point and retrieve for him..we also have a handler that takes her out on shoots locally. She works well over all ground including cover on occassion. The advantage of the Wire over the Smooth Vizsla of the likes of GSP is the coat, her coat is profuse and wiry and waterproof, she can work on very cold days and also wet days. She has amazing stamina and works

    I trust my Terriers and the Lurcher 100%..i can do anything with them and they are totally accepting, even times when i have had to clean up something sore or pull a nail etc..they would defend me and i them. I dont have the same relationship with the Vizslas, they arent hugely my thing and i dont care for the demanding part of their nature..i LOVE my terriers and the Lurcher pup is very like them.

    From the pic i would suspect its a knocked up toe..decent rest alongwith some Metacam or Rimadyl should do the job.

    Our Practice policy is to vasectomise the males and leave the Jills intact..the injection given to Jills is Delvosteron and isnt recommended to be given time and time again, it has the potential to cause womb infections etc if used on an ongoing basis. Vasectomising the males is a quick and short GA procedure, also less expensive than spaying..spaying any female of any species is a large and more complicated, if routine operation. Hope this helps.

    We thought of going to America 18y ago when we got married, started the process etc, but then kind of got cold feet..pressure from family not to leave and i guess fear of the unknown..we bitterly regret it now..i wish we had gone.

    Even if the above breeds were bought in England or Wales, there is no way any of them would pass as working dogs.

    We are still seeing puppies that are docked..some clients dont even know that its banned..recently we saw Yorkie, Boxer and OES pups...i dont think it will ever fully stop. I thought the law in England and Wales was that if you could prove the pups were going to be working dogs you could still have them docked?

    Sounds pretty like my two, we have never had a minutes bother with either of them, we can take them anywhere, their school reports are always spot on..etc..they have grown up coming to work with me, they have helped rear puppies/kittens etc and for them the animals always come first..there is no question on a cold wet day that the dogs are dried off before we are..they both show compassion and empathy..they have been brought up witnessing real life, not sitting in front of a video/gameboy..they play outside..again, not stuck in front of a computer..i cant see that teaching them things like sho

    That's where for me the whole thing falls apart..IF the parents did kill her..how on earth could: a)they keep the body hidden in that heat without refridgeration b)how could they have moved the body with all the Police presence and the media watching them 24/7 c)surely even if they had managed to overcome the above, someone would have followed them? d)why would they have wanted to kill her..she was conceived via IVF One thing i have wondered about is...did she really go missing between 9-10pm...the parents were the only ones to actually see her in her bed...she was seen in the af

    redmoor posted a topic in General Talk

    We went down to the Borders this week-end to visit friends, my husband and two daughters (10y and 15y) went out shooting on Saturday and ferreting, they had an absolute ball..they came back with 14 rabbits, 3 crows and 5 Pigeons..my friends' husband then taught them how to gut the various things. They loved the ferreting and using the nets. My father is apalled that we allowed them to do this..he thinks its barbaric etc and not something that kids should do..i think the complete opposite, i think its good for them..but hey..i guess my father and i disagree on every subject.. On Sunday they th

    I wouldnt leave my handbag in an apartment on a bed..so i certainly woulndt leave my kids..we have travelled all over the world with both of our daughters, from the time they were infants, we all ate together...early..or we didnt go out to eat..simple as that. I wouldnt dream of leaving my dogs either..so why on earth your kids? I think the fact that the McCanns are Doctors almost made them exempt from criticism in the beginning...had they both been factory workers the public slaying of them would have been instant. I think also if from day 1 if they had said 'oh my god, we have been so stupid
