Great story....the old ones are the best.

This is shocking and total discrimination. Political correctness and morales in this country have gone mad. What's pissing me off is the most at the moment is weekly attacks on humans and dog sometimes fatal by banned breeds. Almost every where local to me now, not that I take my dogs anywhere public as there are hoards of Pitbulls and other crosses of these breeds. Many people I know take there dogs in the car afar to excercise them. Nothing is being done about this situation, yet a guy walking 2 lurchers and a terrier receives a letter implying he is involved in poaching. Are owners of

Cracking looking pup, great build on him. Good Luck with him.

The bitch in my Avitar and in my gallery is out of Titan's dog and Queen Nellie. She's a cracking little worker. Articgun summed them up well....a different kettle of fish and require extreme patience.

I was reading down through this post praying you'd got her back.....Sweeto

Sorry to hear about your loss. Run Free Gin xx

We have a Whippet/Grey/Bedlington, he's sharp as a tack and a great Lamping dog especially Rabbits. We were out doing some permission work on a local farm last week. A bunny though it could nip through the square net fence he grabbed it by the back leg and pulled it all the way back. I don't know about anyone else but the Rabbits we are catching are well healthy this year some amount of meat on them. I was thinking this may be down to the mild winter.

Cracking Puppies. You'll have your hands full in a few weeks.

My Saluki bitch is a finicky eater. I feed her dry biscuit and mix through dinner scraps or pick up the discounted meat from the supermarket usually this encourages her to eat. The smaller the biscuit the better too. I have noticed though during and after her last few seasons that her eating habits change. Around 3 weeks before, during and after she starts eating for Scotland. She would eat the biscuit dry during this time. I take it this is her hormones telling her body to get ready for pregnancy as it soon stops and she goes back to normal afterwards as she's not been mated.

Any news on your dogs yet? Can't imagine how this would feel, i'll keep my eyes open North of the Border. Don't hear of dogs being stolen much in Scotland, I'm assuming reading through some of the posts and other topics it's a common thing down in England

I will never spay a bitch EVER again unless totally necesssary. Every bitch I have had spayed has ended up with spay incontinence. I'd hate to add up what I've spent over the years on Propalin. I would rather have a bitch on Propalin than a risk of mammary tumours/ovarian cancer/pyometra and a host of other problem's..i have had and seen a fair few problem's what i have mentioned with entire bitches but out of 9 bitches that i have seen spayed only one required Propalin for incontinence... but at the end of the day it's each to there own.. It's not just the Propalin and the cost,

working abilty comes first not colours, and if they dont make the grade on the sod ,dont breed,jmo mc I didn't say colours come first when it comes to breeding. IMO health and confirmation of the dog comes first. If a dog is not built properly then it won't run properly. Second IMO would be temperament, you've got to live with them more than you work them then it would be working ability. If we all had the same opinion it would be a dull world to live in

I'll give this a go. I like au natural

Thanks. I will of course be thinking very hard about it. I am a responsible owner and none of our pups would go to just any Tom, Dick or Harry. I have to definate homes and 3 who have booked in advance although their circumstances may change. I will buy a dog if I do not think I can find suitable homes. My dogs are my family not just a commodity. are these working homes or walk round the park homes ?? Did you read my Introduction? I did say I do permission work (rabbits) on a local farm. 3 of the homes out of the 5 so far will be worked yes. no i didnt read your intro,, wasted
