Lurcher training, how hard?
summat decent replied to markp76's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Basically keep it simple,ie name something that sounds nice ie say Fred can be made in to freddie,pups like things to sound daft pleasant. Keep yourself to one word commands ie name followed by command.If you said sit down to one of my dogs they would do a sit followed by a down.Obviously most commands are sit,down(put your body on ground,wait(until i give you another command,stay(stay where you are,off(dont jump on me furniture whatever,you shout down instead of off dog will get confused.Over(jump over this,under(under gates,wire etc,through get through this gap ie gate etc You can do away -

correcting your lurcher
summat decent replied to nottzhunter08's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
If you train basics,sit,down,stay,NO! etc properly and dont confuse the dog changing words,or spoil dog by letting it do what it wants.Then you should'nt have to go to the extremes of some people ie horse whip,kicking dog or hitting it.A shake by the scruff of the neck,a dog can understand,rolling dog on to floor and holding it there saying NO! the dog understands. Hitting or kicking dog will just teach dog not to trust you,be afraid of you. Sorry i dont get off on an animal being afraid of me,thats why alot of dogs recall is bad,would you go to someone who hit and kicked you i think not. I -
I think we could all give you enough info to sink a battleship.i will say count your placentas,and make sure you empty your bitch with oxytocin after whelping.More bitches have died because of infections and retained placentas,and dead pups. Research your subject really well.hopefully no complications and you will love experience. Good luck

Feeding Schedule
summat decent replied to young_london_hunter's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
A lurcher or whippet has a small stomach,fast metabolic rate. You are doing grand,you dont need any help.Well Done! -
Health comes from inside out,weigh dog,worm dog then feed meat fish egg yolks plenty of pulped vegetables,dandruff can be caused by alot of things.Make sure dog frontline combi or advantage regular,dogs need more animal fat than we realise try getting ox heart feed with fat still on.If your dog lives inside could be caused by central heating, what you wash bedding in etc,outside bedding clean?Answers endless. Have kept black lurchers and whippets over 25yrs screwed up millions of times. Complete food always gave my dogs jacket problems so changed to barf diet. Good luck.

dog sick after being wormed
summat decent replied to PAUL73's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Heh! hows your dog bit better i hope! Let us all know what outcome was. -
Seems a few people have had em,some one brought me one couple weeks old,terriers had had it. I noticed it had a broken leg,rehydrated it rang animal santuary and they took it away. Nice to know,we may hunt but we are not monsters. Incidentally i cant honestly say i think it is right to keep em. Will dig photo out,it was a cutie,a hissing cutie. They are not pets and i should imagine most of us have killed a few,if not alot. We are still killing em in Ireland it is not banned. But i dont kill babies,there is no sport in that.

Yep!i would be trying to get that jacket back.

Are you talking about a Turkish mastiff (Karabash)fawn in colour black mask,tail long slightly curled over back.Let me know if so i had one,and can tell you abit about them.

Selling England by the Pound!

Fusithalmic most chemists have it,tell em you got slight eye infection

I would spend mega training your whippet ie stock breaking,staying basic commands,if you can show a farmer how steady your dog is with stock you really shouldnt have bother getting permission. Also if your pup is steady to stock it will make it easier to break to ferret,problem is alot of dogs are not stock steady,mine get regular lessons during summer.Train,train train if you dont the dog will be useless.

Try farm suppliers £6.20 here,beware hard wood shavings ie red they supposed to be poisonous to some animals.

dog sick after being wormed
summat decent replied to PAUL73's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Check which wormer the vet gave you,drontal plus usually does not cause sickness,do you weigh your dogs before worming them,if you dont you should?How do you know you are giving them enough,or you may be giving too much.Not bitching i have done it myself. Piperazine based wormers can cause sickness,and a report i read a few years ago mentioned that it can give dogs epilepsy.Although an allergic reaction to some wormers has been known. Some wormers you can feed dog with ie drontal,some only quarter of feed given along with tablets. Some people give wormers with cheese etc some dogs are lacto -
Well! i must be one of the few that has had sound advice from this site. Very grateful i was for it to. There is the odd arsehole everywhere,i feel sorry for em!

Sounds like it needs pulling out!

I only screwed up once,got a great vampire looking scar on my arm,it was my fault. The laugh of it is my other half keeps meat rabbits,he rears em i neck em when they get right weight. He got bit by a 7kg buck he has on the right wrist,right bloody mess,i would have (unprintable). I got hammered on the left forearm,so when we are in car ferret for left,rabbit for right. Offering a knuckle seems to be safest,they find it harder to get a grip. Good luck
