  12. Deerhoundworking -You are thinking too much mate .Dogs unlike ourselves ,thrive on a regular diet of MEAT,MEAT,MEAT .Its the amount of meat you need to adjust in the diet and not remove it altogether. Off seasons are not excuses to feed the dogs a poorer diet ,just cut down the ration to maintenance. Too much excess protein is wasted on a dog that s not working and passes out the back end ,stressing the kidneys if fed to extreme. i dont feed a pooer diet the fish and mince trip cost way more than the meat but i see your point on the amount of meat as the thinking goes i always try to imp

  21. no mate ive got no pavements but ive got four acres if you think you can get a digging dog 110% fit by walking it down some poxy pavement, your a better man than me. when i mean fit irealy mean fit well if you want them that fit a walking m/c is the way to go a tip for you always give the dogs a run after being on the m/c if you dont the muscle will become to tight from the m/c

  24. that bitch looks great a credit to you tc,she looks like she is ready for any hare any time,would love to see the deerhound cross that could beat her, just because it looks the part doesnt mean it is and she looks a fine dog but no one can say that one breed is better are worse than another its what inside a dog that counts no matter what breed
  25. my sort of dog mate hope she does you proud she has so far shes knocked a smile off a few faces shes shamed a few lads who said she wouldnt take a rat she can get in any where 1st dig the lads were saying that she was hiding because no sound and she was locked to his neck
