  1. I had to do a double take when my friend sent it to my phone , couldn't stop laughing
  2. Just downright cruel arrogant ignorant idiots, i'd be absolutely raging if i was in one of the cars being held up, and what if the emergency services needed past all the traffic jam behind them would they still be so ignorant to carry on??? dont find their actions amusing or clever.........just ignorant arrogant and cruel.
  3. Some dogs respond to love/affection, some to food it's the reward that works. I've maintained throughout that the collar should be the last resort I trained a staff to be a bloody good gundog through the use of heavy play and cheese yes it's each to their own when training their dogs to respond, but i personally never have or will use food to have any of my dogs respond, if i need them to come back to me very quickly in a situation when out and about i want them to respond to me and come straight back there and then,i dont want to be digging around in my pockets for food or maybe fo
  4. Did you get the dog as a puppy? if so i would put his behaviour down to disobedience and not respecting you when you recall him, if you got him when he was a bit older then i'd say it's because he probably done it in his last home and came back whenever the heck he felt like it. If he were mine he'd be on a lead and never let off till i knew the swine was responding to me, i wouldn't be using collars of any kind, a dog should want to be with you and work with you not be forced into it through pain or bribed into it with food,pet hate of mine is people giving dogs titbits to get them to respond
  5. I always start weaning mine around 21/2 - 3 weeks old, i start them off on raw mince, if you are feeding complete, i start them at same age only soak puppy food overnight and mash up , by around 31/2 - 4 weeks they are usually nibbling at dry complete puppy food, tis easier to wean them with the raw i find
  6. Love this type of terrier, good thread, my little choc bitch was out of this breeding, brog ............ you have some cracking terriers
  7. soll treacle on his own
  8. Thats not line breeding, thats inbreeding
  9. thanks sowhat, the bitch in pic is sister to my two dogs
  10. can't think why anyone would swim in any water where there are sharks of any description ....... i have seen the basking sharks here when i've been on the local ferry and i would NEVER so much as put a toe in any sea water beside them
  11. do you really have to move the freezer? cant you just move it to a spare room or the kitchen to save any hassle? i keep mine in the spare room, thought about putting power to the hut for it but it's handy where it is
  12. That was rubbish, they didn't really tell us anything we dont already know ................best thing to happen to these poor dogs would be........ ALL these designer breeds banned and make it illegal to advertise or sell them, but then again you get some daft people buying them thinking they are buying something special

    Crufts.....

    100% correct jessdale, the KC dont breed the dogs they only register them
  14. Some dirty thieving scum tried to steal my 2 border pups last week also, luckily my neighbour disturbed them, it's unbelievable the lengths they went to to try and get my pups!!! Scary to think someone is or has been watching my dogs.
  15. hey, yes I would eventually like a pup for myself and I wouldn't breed a litter without securing a good few homes for them first. I have bred terriers previously both jack russells and patterdales so I am no stranger to breeding in general but I have never bred from longdogs or sighthounds before. I do plan on bringing my boy on in the meantime and plan to start looking whats out there probably at the end of the year. My question was merely to give me a new angle to consider when selecting the breeding of my bitch. personally i wouldn't go down the road of buying a bitch, i would be concentr
  16. So why exactly do you want to breed? is it because other people said to you about people "in the know" would want pups or is it for you to have another pup for yourself? i would suggest you dont buy a bitch just simply to breed from , i would suggest concentrating on your dog and bringing him on to his full potential as he's only a pup, and IF he turns out such a good dog at whatever he does then you will have these people "in the know" wanting to use him for stud where you will have the opportunity to pick and choose from bitches and get a pup back in lieu of stud, instead of buying a bitch t
