    Too much mild weather, we've only had real cold weather last week apart from that it's been mild, annoying as I have a big shoot that opens up to me by February no doubt I'll be seeing youngsters

  8. Moochersways

    Them big dogs are usually slow to mature and later starters, give him time he will click impatience to start can sometimes ruin what would be a decent dog
  11. Moochersways
    You can't really train them to mark time and experience and they'll do it naturally....the biggest mistake I see people making with a young dog is encouraging it to mark warrens and when the dog sticks its nose near they praise it......automatically the dog will register that behaviour is praised and you'll get a false marker

    Any working lurcher will get knocked if there worked regularly my whippet took her fair share as does my lurcher.....anyone that says they've been "lucky" and there dogs escaped any sort of injury is just plain bullshitting about working there dog.....speed and obstacles aren't a good mix and it's never a case of "if" it's "when"......most people at working dog shows are pretenders you won't see them our ferreting on a cold morning or out lamping on a rough night

    My mates lurcher had similar issues also an outside toe.....had it taken off and tbh hasn't effected the dogs ability and no trouble with the other toes so far

    When a dog has the blinkers on it ain't looking out for obstacles it's never a case of if it happens more when

    If your happy with how the dog performs and with how many your catching then what anyone else thinks is irrelevant really if it only runs what it thinks it can catch and your happy with that then great, I like a dog that will run anything I slip it on the amount of bunnies that end up being turned off a hedge or cover and end up in the bag that you'd of thought would just hop to safety, likewise when they do make it to cover a lot of the time iv had a dog follow them in hedges and catch them where they've just sat in the hedge or rough

    Cheers yeah iv got plenty of vet wrap on hand so I'll just wrap it now when ever I run him hopefully won't be a problem
  17. Moochersways
    I was half tempted to just whack it off when it happened tbf as it was just hanging by a bit of skin but it knitted back together fine.....I'll just vet wrap it when I run him just paranoid about it going again last thing I want is him laid up in the season
  18. Moochersways
    I'll wrap it then took ages to heal
  19. Moochersways
    So....just after a few opinions, my lurcher injured his carpal pad around 3 months back it was pretty much hanging off, vet wrapped and purple sprayed for around a month and lead walks for 2 months, all good now and healed up, but anyone had this happen then had it go again? Will it be a weak point in the future? Should I just now wrap it everytime he runs as precaution? Cheers in advance

    Had a couple frosts down here last week n now back to hot again hopefully have some decent cold snaps this year, last season cover was a nightmare here......looks like you've had a goodun tho
  21. Moochersways
    Yeah you couldn't live off of them far to lean
  22. Moochersways
    Yep.....notice you don't see any survival shows on tv anymore I'm sure they don't want people to know how to live if times get hard, but yeah your right with the cost of living now I think if you can supplement yourself off the land with a few free meals and know how to prep game it's handy, hungry, cold skint people are easy to control
  23. Moochersways
    I really don't understand it, I can put vids up of the dog catching rabbits or me shooting Squirrels ect and it's fine soon as I put a skinning/game prep vid up the won't monetise it
