    not had any experience of handcock myself but the chap who bred my current lurcher has bred and owned lurchers for over 20yrs and wanted to put more collie blood back into his line so bought a handcock puppy he gave it away at 6 months cos it was too sharp with other dogs, too cautious of people(he likes easy going dogs) also too independent -no recall or retrieve so buy with caution cos have heard this from a few people

    Can i just ask how much your getting the (20kg) wormers for? ive just done 5 dogs 3 terriers 1 whippet and a big lurcher and the vets charged 34 quid wow thats expensive milbemax puppy does dogs and puppies up to 5kg milbemax adult does dogs and puppies 5-25kg you should be paying no more than £5 for puppy ones and £7 for adult at most when getting them direct from the vets-didd they charge a consultation for you seeing the vet- most vets will give a years supply of wormers in one go for each dog-if you have more than two dogs ask to see a partner in the practice and disscuss discount

    i work on reception at a vets surgery the only insurance company we will not deal with directly (meaning you the owner has to pay for all treatment up front) is E & L in ALL its forms. petplan are good payers and dont quibble more expensive than most though! make sure you get a lifetime policy then any condition is covered for life, yearly policies will not cover a condition after the end of the first year it was diagnosed. dont tell them it is a working dog just crossbreed is fine-thats what they are! if you get a lifetime policy do not let it lapse! insurance will not cover any routi

    Just checked out that orijen, its dear but if you only needed to feed half the amount compared to different stuff then it could be worth it, however to feed a 20kg working lurcher you would need to feed 300 grams of origen as apposed to only 250 using eukaneba-skinners etc so not really anygood for hard workin lurchers imo, prob fine for small or pet dogs tho an defo looks to have some good tackel in there just a shame about the $$. so what skinners would you recommend for an adult lurcher cheers i feed skinners to all my crew as its the only dry food that dont give two of them the runs

    i have always found frontline ok but stronghold also does sarcoptic mange and may be of more use to many of those who's dogs spend time around various wildlife. cant remember if advocate does sarcoptic mange too but i think it does and also does most worms but be warned not all!

    you got any other dogs? most on here would say dont feed dry food, feed meat instead. i feed some dry but with as much raw meat as i can. all food is fed according to the dogs ideal weight and current work load so you need to find out how much he weighs and also what food is it and what are the guidelines for feeding amounts. if you think he is overweight fed him just slightly less than reccomended. but he may be overwieght due to lack of work if thats the case you may need to adjust how much you feed by keeping an eye on how he is looking . worm him too-most important and i would reccomend
