I have seen this unfold through the media from the VERY start, and IMO yes it's a bit over the top. But I can see why people (dog trainers and behaviorists) are up in arms about it. It's the One Show who should of got someone who uses modern training techniques( reward based), as when promoting dog training to the general public it needs to be portrayed correctly. As people will replicate these kind of bad training methods badly as they saw it on the TV.

Niggling injury, slight limp after exercise.
Sirius replied to bullmastiff's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Hi Luke, There is some good advice on this thread but I tell you what it's all guess work, without any disrespect to some of the more knowledgeable members who have contributed to the thread. With these type of problems (especially reoccurring lameness) there is no substitute for a proper hands on examination. I Have 'inboxed' you a number and contact details of the best greyhound vet I know in your locality which is not as far as the one's you have mentioned. Good luck Sirius -
Sometimes coming back from injury is a longer road than we think..I have had this several times in the past. He looks well though Moll

I was wondering do people count the mesh's between each pin, or like me, just spread the net by eye then clove hitch each pin in top and bottom. I have found that the by eye method can lead to uneven bagging in some sections? Just wondered how others may do it? and if there is an easier way than the way I do it?

Yes 20"

Its a bit like the rubbish you here spouted about a Kc Reg working whippet and a pedigree whippet. Basically one has been out in the field and worked but there are no differnces physically in most cases as they should be bred to a breed standard. Many lines were/are bred for coursing and these were very slightly differnt to many pedigree show whippets physically, infact a great many of the great coursing whippets were infact Show champions or had done well at the shows. But being a good coursing dog or worker is as much about what is in it's head than anything. Like Public Enemy said, Do

The idea of using sled dogs and spitz types has been around for quite a few years as they seem to have some good plus points, but I am sure they have a few flaws also. But good luck to you all with this cross, without a doubt they will knock over game pretty easily

your thinking of last time a few year back,,, i think this one was this week Your right Tomo and this case has been on the go for sometime, Len French was a small fish in it all really, and IMO he was just an old fraud.

Amoxicillin isn't for pain relief it's a broad spectrum antibiotic. Metacam and Rimadyl are two good Nsaids, but I don't like to use them unless really necessary and not long term. The main problem is that it can lead to the dog doing more damage due to the pain relief and anti inflammatory action and a range of other side effects when used longer term( especially stomach upset with Metacam). So IMO they are great in the short term, just be aware that the dog may feel better and be more active, but this does not mean that the injury is still not there.

Somewhere along the M5 i was told..

I must echo your sentiments WILF, although lamping hares is not for me, its a very big haul for any dog especially if the dog ran them on big flat fields. I would be lucky to run that many all season local to me before the ban.

They were a good company, but it has changed hands in the last year or so, so I can really comment. I am not a fan of complete so i would not know about that at all, but there dried fish skins etc are excellent stuff for training and as a treat.

Bitch now returned found on the M5 not in a great state, as for the pups NO sign.
