so whats the crack with the law south of the border. I no you can use dogs for rats + rabbits. is it or is it not still legal to use them on fox + hares.?

i'll try not to expect to much form her. i'm just real keen to get her learning. thanks for the advice.

cheers lads , new to the hunting so i'm hopeing we both become good workers.

just through i'd pup a few pics of my pup up. about 15/16 weeks. retrives socks and ball neary 10 out of 10 but the rabbit skins a differant story. she's my frist lurcher so have nothing to comper her to. what do yous think of her size and general condition for her age. cheers punter

The nutritional training vets receive in college is based on complete kibble, the young uns don't have a clue about feeding dogs anything other than processed food. I have changed vets umpteen times because of arguments about raw feeding I was advised to have my 18 month old Akita down because he had awful food allergies, his kidneys and liver were showing signs of failing, open sores, weeping ears and eyes etc. There was not a single food on the market that did not bring him out in a reaction he was constantly on steroids. I changed him to raw back then and now at 13 years old he is still a

excelent responces with what seems like good advice. thanks for the book rainmaker i'll read it as soon as . The vet was young (prob just out of uni) so i think i,ll look round for one with a few more years under his belt. But to be fair to him he didn't realy mention choking i think he was more worried about sharp pieces of bone cuting through the inside of the pups belly. But i suppose if i go with carcasses which have the softer less brittel bones, then there would be no real worry of that occuring anyway. thanks again, i'll get some picks of the pup up once i work out how. cheers

FACE! AS IN THE GOOD THE GOOD LOOKIN CHAP IN THE A/TEAM

thanks for the replys. all 3 of you think that the wings and raw foods can only benifit the pup so it makes sense that i should give it a go. I think i will add more raw foods to the diet wings , carcasses , meat + veg but keep some dry food(will look for better brand) in there for vitimins+minerials. I'll also keep a eye on the amount of wastage ie food to sh*! ratio( good tip mate). thanks again

i want to give my pup a good start. at the moment shes on a complite dry food (BETA PUP) she never eats as much as the pack recomends she should. she eats more if i mix it with table scraps ,so i do. I also give her a meal of eggs(cooked) and goats milk which she eats well. Anyway i was going to add a couple of chicken wings/carcusses in to her diet but the vets says NO and i have read different things on this site some say yes some say no. so what do uses think wings or no wings and has anyone had first hand experience of a dog getting sick because they were feed wings/bones ect. any oth

thanks for the welcome boys + girls

nice one mate. hope it works out for you.
