Try the pup on chicken wings, mince lamb/beef/chicken, tripe , lites, eggs, with a bit of fruit and veg. Young pup needs up to 10% body weight per day, split in to 3 or 4 meals. Older dogs need up to 3% body weight per day, 1 or 2 meals. Can have the same , just add in chicken carcass, and meaty bones from the butcher. Just bear in mind to give extra if working hard or lives outside(cope with cold) Bone content should not make up more than 25% of diet (this from personal experience, may read different elsewhere), otherwise poo can be a little too dry/hard to pass.

Deerhounds duckhunting :

My Full Deerhound works quite well. It does depend on breeding. They're never as fast as a X , but they can hold there own. Maybe the ones I saw run were show bred because they were much bigger than the one in your photo. Nice dog There aren't many breeders who produce a true working strain. The breed has a whole seems to retain the high prey drive, but the larger/heavier types don't seem to be up to the job, especially on small quarry like rabbits. My Dog is 30" tts and an athletic 45Kg.

Sounds like either a puppy farm/dealer or a total scam. Either way dont waste the money for the phone call.

I've kept dogs inside and out and it doesn't make any difference. As long as you feed em well and give plenty of contact and exercise. Doesn't matter where they spend the rest of the time.

Had to take a double take then ! Thought someone had stolen my Mac ! Have you entered him into anything yet ? -
The pup has gone now. Thanks.

Sorry the pics are a bit crap, hopefully get some better ones soon.

My Deerhound is just the same, 1st race of the day he's quite keen, after that he just won't bother. Put him after something worth chasing and he'll work all day/night !!!! Here's some more , some too lazy, some too clever. http://www.scottish-deerhound.com/videos/9...oses-april-2009
