    Best to leave it as nature intended, keeps a dog warm in winter while keeping it cooler in the warmer months, atb

    Didn’t say you were attacking me personally, so leave the immature name calling out of it, not having your own dog chipped in your own name says you have something to hide, that’s a wrong un, my dogs mean more to me than just being tools and I’m proud to take responsibility for them, atb

    Anybody not having their dog chipped in their own name is a c**t, I would never of expected you to come out with bullshit like that Dc, the dog don’t look old enough to have established itself as a working dog so if it’s been dumped then whoever dumped it is a wrong un and they need a good kickin, my dogs are chipped in my name and I’ve been working dogs for half a century, are you saying I’m not serious about them ?

    Stripping that wheaten x’s coat out like that makes no difference whether its hand stripped or had clippers go through it, once the outer coat is gone that’s it’s first line of insulation ruined, which will make the dogs core temperature become higher which is not desirable, the coat and the body fat serves as insulation from both the cold and the heat, majority of people that strip out a dogs coat in the summer believe it makes the dog feel cooler when the fact is it make the dog hotter in its core, I’ve hand stripped and used clippers on a dogs coat in the past when I didn’t know any better

    Not a good idea to strip a dog of its coat in the summer pal, it actually has the opposite effect of what you’re trying to achieve, in the winter the coat helps keep the warmth in and in the summer it helps keep the heat out so keeps the dogs core temperature cooler, which as you will know is more important for running dogs because of their lack of bodily fat, can’t make better than what nature has put there, atb

    Don’t know about a cure for it but letting a dog stand in cold water seems to help, I sometimes ferret near a beach and nettles can be a problem, dogs seem to be relieved of the pain of being nettled after standing in the sea, atb

    Nice little tyke, tail not docked ? Atb

    It’s not often dogs lose their teeth because of age, more likely they were loosened going tooth to tooth with the other dog she had the fight with, ask anyone that works the terriers, they will all have experienced that at some point, rinse her mouth out with saltwater and if the teeth are loose enough you should be able to pull them without causing too much distress to the dog if not I’m afraid it’s a vet job for you, as for the bad breath that’s probably down to poor dental hygiene, a common problem is too much plaque or tartar built up on the teeth, it’s a good idea to get several of them r

    Thanks for replies guys, you’ve all educated me, the cock fighting isn’t really my thing, my favourite bird will always be the one thats been in the oven, back to topic, Frank Sheardown the working long dog and the lurcher training and handling real good reads, I’ve not read em for years but I will begin reading them tonight, thanks for reminding me fodr, atb

    Sorry for going off piste a bit but I was talking to a mate about game cocks the other day after reading an earlier post of yours moocher, what he showed me was astounding and shocking at the same time, game cocks going at it in a foreign land, they had little curved knife blades attached to the bottom of their legs and were using them to fight to the death, one cock decapitated it’s opponent but the head didn’t separate from the body until the defeated cocks body hit the ground highlighting how sharp those weapons were that were being used, the term bird brain don’t apply to them game cocks,
