Just let it all out mate. We won't think any less of you if you don't own any hunting dogs any longer. Did it all get too much in the end, the sight of of blood start making you squeamish? ? My recommendation for a future pup is something soft mouthed, that way you can catch critters and release them back in to the wild.

I wouldn't trust any dog with kids mate but can honestly say they've been great with the kids. My old man has had 2 and I've had this one, all been spot on tbh. You're all right though, dogs like that are sometimes more hassle than what they're worth.

Don't get jealous Dogman cos you're not getting the same loving despite going through the same situation yourself, the difference is you haven't got another dog to use as an excuse and you're just too proud to admit. You will just spend a lifetime posting an old pic of the bag grabber and hoping everyone still believes he's in your kennel.. ?

That's it mate, like I said he's not really been that bad truth be told. He's never got hold of something and hurt it but you can just sense he's getting more aggressive with other dogs. Last thing I'd want is for him to get hold of it. But at the end of the day it's me who will be having to deal with them both.

mC has just messaged me and offered to take the dog off me for double the asking price if it doesn’t work out. You can't say fairer than that, fair play lad.

Tbf what Katchum said is always the best way to introduce dogs. Just go for a walk with them together but obviously keep them separated, only consider letting them near each other when it's clear he's settled down and comfortable in it's presence. I know what to do with dogs just flapping cos what if it fails, hate the idea of passing dogs about.

You would like Chinese mate. salt and pepper chips, special chow mein and crispy beef.

It got nipped in the bud mate don't worry about that, the dog wished it had never done it. That's not the problem, the problem is their unpredictability around other dogs full stop. Going off previous occasions they are fine if the other dog is raised from a pup, for all I know he might be OK with it after he knows he's put it in it's place. It makes sense to get a pup but as you know seeing a dog makes you like a kid in a sweet shop.

Don't see the problem myself mate.

I know coursing breds are phenomenal athletes but come on. ? That would be a result if it did happen, Akita cowering to it. ?
-
Cos am itching for one mate, heads doing overtime cos my heart is saying yes. ? Funny you say that mate, I've found all the details about the breeding just by chance today on FB. As mC will have told you i want to know the un's and outs of a ducks arse. He's a beauty of a pup mind, you seen it, what you reckon about coursing breds going back to pures?
-
Lovely, first Chinese in a couple of months. ?
-
Yeah course I have fella. I asked the bloke if he had any pups and got put through to him but it was 8 month old.

They are American mate, original ones are Japanese, close enough though lol. Be

No mate, he's been the lone house dog mate. Probably mate, I think he was about 16 weeks when I got him and he'd got used to scrapping with his litter mates for food. He shocked me cos like I said he'd been spot on with his food, that bone sent him wappy. ?
-
So the story goes but I've never seen or heard of it nor can I find anything online backing that claim up. I mean how can you damage your lungs or heart running unless you are born with a defect? I can understand dogs overheating and collapsing but causing actual physical damage to the heart and lungs, never known it.

He does mate, the food aggression was put of the blue. Obviously when dogs are pups you get them used to you being there when they're feeding. He was spot on, you could stroke him, take his dish off him the usual stuff. This is where it came as a shock, our lass gave him a bone and can't recall exactly what happened but as I went to get it he snarled, well obviously I gave him a belt and put him in his place and by the end of it I was taking the bone off him and he'd stopped showing signs of aggression. Like I said other than that episode when he was a pup he does as hi

Tbf mate all ours have been soft with us and the family and that's all that really counts.
-
Almost looks like it's flying there across the slop.
-
He's coming for you mC.
-
You're right mate, my old man's Akita used to have hold of my lurcher when he stepped out of line but it was just a case of putting him in his place. I can't get rid of him mate, not my style tbh. It's not just the Akita mate, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to understand why it's better to rear a dog up from a young pup.
-
You have to call Mountain Rescue for it?
-
In what way, I've had to belt him a couple of times because of some food aggression but other than that he's soft as a brush.
