    if your dogs bustin his tail in your kennel by hitting the sides ,you could fix some roofing lat to the sides and fix carprt to it ,so the carpet hangs loose .i raced greyhounds and tail waggers are a fecking nightmare .just remember dont over tighten if your taping the dogs tail and cut off the blood supply .

    keeping racing pigeons is expensive i raced them for years ,but due to the cost and having a young family i had to pack in .if you take it up it can become addictive and theres lots of fun to be had . You can go to any club and you will be welcomed with open arms as the sport is in such decline new members are always welcome . But as also sugested you could get some fancy pigeons just for the garden ,i keep a few indian fantails in an avary at the bottom of the garden, these are ornamental pigeons that can barely fly. Here are some pictures of birds i bred last year:

    i give my dogs pilchards in tomato sauce once or twice a week,or try adding fatty meat ,eg breast of lamb,also if your dog is kept inside central heating can cause it as it dries out a dogs coat.

    lurcher link have rehomed well over 100 dogs this year all homes are vetted dogs are taken out every day ,dogs are rehomed to WORKING HOMES ALSO ,they arrange to pick dog up and have it checked over by a vet any vet bills are paid for by lurcher link (some times running into thousands of pounds) .its then assessed and the right home is found ,all this is paid for by a voulantry organisation .why not visit there website and see what you think, pointless falling out with people who are only trying to help . GOOD LOOK IN REHOMING THE PUP YOURSELF IF ITS WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO.

    if the dogs kept outside you could try jacketing it up in cold weather .if not as already suggested worm and add breast of lamb to diet.

    ive started ferreting this year after meeting a guy of this site ,i havent been out and bought all the gear yet as i wanted to see if i could hack it ,so most weekends ive been driving a 120 mile round trip to go out on his permission and ive also had a couple of nights lamping .ive been cought in a blizzard ,been out when it was -10,dug plenty of holes ,and been cut to ribbons by brambles .and to be honest ive loved every moment .so im looking to get myself set up for next season ,theres some good guys on this site .hope someone takes you out rather than struggling by yourself .

    hi rory4 what your describing could be ,chillblains, in the past i raced greyhounds and i had a dog with the same symptoms you describe ,i was convinced that the dog was rubbing his head on the side of his kennel and this was indeed the cause of his sore ears ,when i went to his kennel or pen in cold weather there would be blood spattered all over the kennel walls and all over his pen and he was constantly shaking his head that was also covered in blood.after some reserch and talking to friends i found out it was chill blains ,does your dog get sore ears in the summer or mild weather ?even a s

    you could try taking the pup everywere with you when your out and about ,shops ,visiting friends ect,this should get the pup used to traveling in your car ,it could be a nervous thing in the past i bought a dog that was terrified of traffic ect the more it travels ect the better it should get it could also be suffering motion sickness so short journeys should do it the world of good .

    ive a dog that badly injured her hip ligament i took it to ROBRT MEEK (osteopath and muscle man) as i didnt know the nature of the injury and couldnt identify what it was .he told me it could be the end of of her running days and rated her chances as only 30%.he told me 16 weeks of short walking only on the lead followed by building up the dogs fitness slowly .shes not a working dog but does compete in racing and made a full recovery.this guy travels all over the country and is used by greyhound trainers of the highest level he wont hand out any medication but will find any injurys old or new
