    Have a look here lads http://sportingcutlery.co.uk/knives/knives-by-category/fixed-blade.html

    I recommend hydrogen peroxide mate. Works wonders! If that was mine, I'd have it stitched or stapled too but there are people on here with a lot more experience than me ATB Sam

    I've heard a lot of good things about his dogs. The only people who seem to slate them are people how haven't had one and would never buy one. That Alex is a nice looking dog though. What sort of top end do you think you'd get out of an average 1/2 cross? Sam
  4. Terrier Sam
    Thanks at least the running instinct part is in them then. Much better than him having them just for breeding
  5. Terrier Sam
    Does anyone know anything about the greyhounds that he uses? Are they racers, ex track dogs, kept by him for breeding etc. etc.? Unless I'm not looking properly, I can't see any info on the greyhound side

    This is something that I've wondered a few times too. Can anyone give a few examples of the differences between the 3/4 crosses though? ATB Sam

    Thanks Geoff, After giving him a bit of an amateur once over, it looks like there's something going on with his front left shoulder. I don't know why that didn't occur to me won't be overlooking that again though. I'll be booking him an appointment today ATB Sam

    It it the same one as in your avatar? If so, nice looking dog that mate

    Is that dog a beddy cross by any chance

    Do you think that I should be looking for a chiropractor or a greyhound vet? If so, are there any in or around the North Wales area? I've already got Paul Evans' number

    Thanks for all of the replies. Some good info. As stupid as it seems, I didn't really think it could be a muscular or bone thing but that makes a lot of sense I think I was maybe a bit harsh in describing him in a couple of ways; 1) he hasn't lost interest, He gives his all on every run but it's like he's missing that extra little bit. 2) The rabbit that I said he dropped was dropped just after he caught it. He caught, I turned the lamp off, turned it back on after a couple of seconds and he was chasing it into a bush. I was just using it as an example in saying that everything just

    My beddy whippet grey was doing really well last season in his first winter. There were very few nights that he caught less than 50% of what he ran. There were no massive numbers with him catching 7 on his best night but that's the way it is on my permission. You'd be doing well to get more than 10 runs in a night so I thought that he was more than happy. He knew from the off that he should run hedge side of the rabbit and has never killed 1, bringing all back live to hand. He's coming up to 2 and I'm really please with his temp etc. but this season it just doesn't seem to be happening his

    Good to hear mate! I'm glad you've got her good in the end! I'm sure that the past few months haven't been easy but I bet you're glad you didn't re home her

    Hi Kevin, You can use any of the above suggestions and although it's a great, cheap option for dog training dummies. you wont get your desired effect of a supple skin to turn into a rug. Try White Tan - http://sportingcutlery.co.uk/taxidermy-and-tanning/tanning-kits/cp0502.html Or buy it along with Supa Soft Oil (this does exactly what it says on the tin) - http://sportingcutlery.co.uk/taxidermy-and-tanning/tanning-kits/cp107.html If you need any more info, call 01492 640664.

    Good news mate! Bet your relieved

    Going by what you've said there mate I'd say that you haven't got a good enough bond with her. You need to build up bond and trust with a dog for them to trust you enough to bring back a rabbit live. See what others think but I'd right this year off and work on building trust. If you carry on letting her kill and not retrieve then she'll get into that habit. Work hard on gaining her trust and make sure that you have a good bond and maybe try her again. Also, I don't know how much work has been done with her but does she even know how to retrieve? Have you done any retrieving with her w

    I think they're a good lamp mate. This is my 3rd season with it and we've been out about 3 nights a week on average (Sept. to March) and the switch could do with replacing now. Great value for money I think!
  21. Terrier Sam
    Sorry to hear that mate. Good luck on finding her
  22. Terrier Sam
    Same mate. Trojan, don't you use the meat for anything? I'd be gutted if mine started killing let along stop killing!
  23. Terrier Sam
    So are you saying that you ripped my mate off by charging him £200 then? I was there when he chose the pup and handed over 200 pound sterling. 110% sure of that. On your 3rd point; I think you've just proven my point in what you said in that. What you buy and how much you spend on your kit should have no relevance to how many litters you have, what price you charge or how much you make. Yet you felt the need to compare the two.....? Sorry mate. I don't often comment on for sale stuff unless I'm interested but this one got my goat. I'm sure the pups will turn out to be fine dogs and pro

    Geoff, I saw the litter of the collie cross pups and they looked like nice pups. A mate of mine had one and the dog's coming on really well now. You said that he was thinking of a repeat mating next year and I'd really considered it until I; 1) saw this add for pups off an 18 month old bitch, 2) realised that when he bred the whippet dog to the collie cross bitch, the dog must have only been around 18 months old himself and 3) I worked out that the first litter made you £2000 (10 pups at £200 each) and this one will be making you £2250 with you not keeping a pup from either litter. In

    You beat me to it scramble! If the guy started at the beginning of Sept. with the dog at 10 months that would mean that, on average, he's taking 50 rabbits per week. I think he's either putting one hell of a load of rabbits in front of the dog and it'll be knackered by the time it's 6 or telling porkies. Not having a go mate but was this mating an accident? If not, what makes the bitch so worth mating with at 18 month old considering she's only had one season?
