Great story trinder,I can remember my first lurcher,he wasnt a world beater but I thought he was the business ha ha,and I bet everyone on this site can remember thiers too,happy hunting mate ATB Broonie1
had a 1st cross RB/GH,big heavy dog but could run all the same,proved to be really handy at anything with teeth and was more than capable running down deer(pre ban).RIP buster
I had a dog got bit on front leg by an adder he got treated by a vet but unfortunatly never fully recovered and ended up in house as sofa dog(i dont think he was complaining tho LOL),luckily these happenings are quite rare,hope your dog makes a full recovery, ATB Broonie1
