  1. Becoming an "animal behaviourist" can be done online, as can 'canine nutritionalist' and many other titles with letters after their names......and as an industry, is somewhat unregulated. http://www.britishcollegeofcaninestudies.com
  2. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5595547/Vet-guilty-helping-six-gang-members-sell-4-500-illegally-bred-puppies.html Is this the guy known for treating greys and lurchers?
  3. Sadly, I think that this could be right. Far from meaning to come across as 'victim blaming', how come all these young girls are free to run the streets getting into these situations so readily? Where are their parents and what are they doing to promote their childrens wellbeing?
  4. What is wrong with British society that these girls are so readily available to be ''groomed' by the likes of these men?
  5. I enquired and went to visit 5 years ago when I was across the water.......and decided it wasn't for me........
  6. I find it sad that so many of these young girls are so available to be groomed by these low lifes.
  7. Listening to that, they only live 1 mile from the school???? Walking there and back evey day would do all kids a favour physically and mentally.
  8. While I dish up food for the dogs I put an extra saucer out for the birds as well.......they go mad for it.
  9. I would not want to listen to that for 1 hour, nevermind 8.
  10. I was told it was best to do it "one day too soon, rather than leave it one day too late" in other words, while the dog still has a bit of dignity, rather than see your old mate too sick or crippled with pain. Be with her to the end.....she has earned that much.....but it's never an easy day......
  11. Apparently the tramp only got the sack and a caution from the police!
  12. The USA prison systems seem to be quite harsh environments compared to British ones.......good enough for the arrogant perv!
  13. Rotten excuse for a human being!
  14. https://gercekasksiberians.com/our-lurchers/ Aye.....£450......sound like winners alright.....hahaha
  15. From the desciptions of behaviour above, how likely would it be for a dog with these traits to transfer its affections/loyalties to a new family or living situation?
  16. Have you had this dog from a pup? Have you any previous experience with dogs? Probably best to contact an experienced trainer for 1-2-1 advice Jim Greenwood was mentioned. Physically beating a stressed dog is not the answer. Good luck.
  17. Modern wolfhounds are a man made recreation for the show ring.....bred for looks...too big to be sound or healthy for any length of time. Now those pups in Canada....look a much better proposition........
  18. For those of you using tennis balls and small balls of similar size......consider the damage young speedy dogs can do to their necks and joints when chasing and striking such a small target at the speed lurcher pups can reach. Google HOLEE BALLS - you can get them in all sizes - I use the biggest I can find - near 10-12 inches across - makes a much softer and safer target for young necks and joints while training/exercising young pups.
  19. Am I reading that right............your vet couldn't believe how fit your nearly 4 month old pup was?
  20. Some good ideas there.....initiating and ending the tugging behaviour is all part of 'the game' and has to be trained and rewarded. Regarding your last sentence - I had to stop swinging my 15 year old Jack Russell on the tug at shoulder height when I realised most of his teeth were loose.....
  21. Dr Who......Nerdsville........
