This is the first time I will be getting a dog fit so I hope I get him nice and fit. I enjoy a run so My lad who is now just over a year old comes with Me every other evening we do 5k at a good steady pace. He is running loose and in and out of everything along the way so god knows how far he does. On the nights in between our runs He gets a good walk, with free running. I have also started sitting him and stay I walk off about a 100yards and whistle him in He comes at full pace. I do this up a nice long steady grass verge. I have also upted the amount of food He needs to keep him fit and stro

Well as says above my lad caught his first bunnie sunday evening. Collie x Greyhound 12 months next weekend. Retrieved it to hand, so fingers crossed it looks like all our hard work training will beging to start paying off.

Your wrong the bulldog was bred to fight bulls then when the terrier was bred to the bulldog making the 'bull and terrier aka staffordshire bull terrier they were used for dog fights,also used for badger baiting but their main purpose was dog fighting. Spot on It was onlt the Bull Terrier that was breed for the gentlemen about town.As by the time Hinks had produced what He wanted, dog fighting was banned.Yes I know there is a small minoroty of so called real dog men out there that enjoying nothing more than letting there dogs rip each other to pieces.

No not at all mate I boxed for years, and enjoyed it, as that was My choice. I was never forced, or prevoked to fight. As for a breakstick not alot of cop when two dogs are at it and one man, no doubt I could of got there in the end with this but 6 foot deep cold water did the job just perfect. When any of My dogs where used, bitches were always muzzled and stood. Why on earth would I risk one of My lads getting a face full of teeth. Come on pal get a grip. No doubt this will result in some stupid nasty comment as before. Thory

Dog fighting was banned in the 1800`s so any fighting blood should be long lost. They should be nothing more than family pets now, as many are, until total dickhead owners who get hold of them or any other of the Bull breeds and think they like being hit constantly teased, encouraged to bite down on things and swung around by only the stregnth in there jaws, and baited to passing dogs on the street.Just to componsate for there own masculinity. Personally I believe that any bull breed should be liscenced, and a minimum age of ownership. Before anyone starts up saying Bollocks to that, look at t

Perhaps its just the way You worded it, If Your at the 6 week stage and add 4, I will let You do the maths From the picture the bitch does not look in pup, but for the sake of a few quid I would get Her scanned for My own piece of mind, could be one or two tucked away in Her rib cage. I have always found the nipples a good indication that things are looking good at about the 21 to 28 day stage. I always had My bitche`s scanned at 35 days just so I can plan in advance. Thorny i would say it was the way you read it Your probabley right, thats what happens when You give a bricky a key

Yes, Yes, Yes. There are a couple of decent bred beddy x Whipets in the Working Bedlington Forum, under the post Bedlington X whippet by Alun 1960. Cheers mate, I knew the answer`s but just wanted it confirmed once more. I shall have another look over at the bedlington forum. Hi Chilly yeah I think they will suit the Collie/Greys perfectly. I local lad to Me runs a pair the same they work fantastic together. Thorny That's the hope mate , my collie grey is still a pup so maybe around Christmas time i'd be hoping to get one , have you had a look on the bedie forum yet mate Yeah

At into Her 6th week You should be able to tell, from nipples, Her under carrage, her general well being, how is she with Her food, and there may even be a slight amount of hair loss to Her belly.This is a dog that You see every day so should be able to tell!. Not sure if some can do maths, 63 days does not equate to 10 weeks in any stretch of the imagination. So You could have as little as 18 days left. Now time to get down the vets and have a scan. Have You changed things in Your bitches routine? or are You carrying on as normal. Need to get things sorted for the bitche`s well being and the

This is My boy now at 11 months. He is 5/8 Greyhound x 3/8 Collie. I dont think You will ge wrong with a collie/greyhound. This is My first lurcher he has been very easy to train and always eager to please. Thorny
-
any chance of seeing a pic? sounds a very good cross in theory best of luck with it sure Arctic, there are many pics of her in my posts. She is coming up to 4 in august and is a proven dog... That is some good looking animal, how did You find this cross to train, was the saluki stuburness still there or did the whippet and beddy blood come into play. Cheers Thorny

Hi mate is the pup docked? Cheers

some good names there pal you no your stuff with the bullys i got some 4 weeks old pups here now and i just spotted 1 of the bitches as a hernie am gutted someone as already bought her i will have two phone her and tell her Is it a umbilicle Hernia? If it is I wouldnt panic to much, speak to Her new owners and agree to pay for the operation needed to put the problem right, when the pup is old enough. Simple little op that will cost no more than a £150.Had a few pups with this in the past. Good luck Thorny
