    L.S., Recently we had some car accidents in the area with roe. In case of emergency, what is the fastest and most humane way to kill a roe deer if you have no gun close by? Do they have a weak spot, can you break the neck or something? regards, L

    Hitting mine is not good they are too soft and loose trust. However when they are pulling me (on the bike in traffic, endangering me)and don't answer to my voice I stick out my foot and "kick" them, and they take it seriously and bug off. L

    It looks good for sure, looks already pretty fierce. I really like the look. I guess we will see next year how big he gets but I guess when he is 20 inch now he will maybe 23 inch at least in one year with all the bone visible. L PS: Oh yeah it is in inch...so 5 inch is a lot like 15 cm but 3 inch extra after 7 months doesn't seem abnormal for a big dog.

    Right.

    Rearing no...moving wild ones yes... L

    I would let it off lead in safe places right away...again play hide and seek and such...it won't run away and now you can teach it to pay attention to you... L

    Yeah a shock collar. It probably works but you have to like it too. If you need a more machinal dog that does things out of fear for punishment immediately. I can see it being handy if the dog HAS to listen. But dogs I have seen that were trained with such a device (ok not many) are too nervous and submissive for my taste. But maybe they needed it? L

    You need the easiest catchable rabbits. Do what you have to to make a sure catch. When the dog does it you can be happy and cheery and after some praise you can leash it while keeping the fun kind of. Make it nicer than hunting up. Do not unleash the dog where it can hunt up, free playing and such should be in places where there is no game. And do a lot of joyfull recalls with you running away and hiding and such. Make it have look for you. It comes back easier when more mature then. Give the dog some exercise before you are hunting training so the edge is off. oh yeah: "patience...Luke.

    I use "raw" unheated honey on bigger surface wounds (of dogs) and it works well, heals quicker and with less scar. Clean unheated honey is excellent wound dressing. It will become more popular in wound treatment. It is a primitive antibiotic cause it generates (by enzymes) enough hydrogenperoxide to kill bacteria and flesh grows really good at low ph and high sugar. The high sugar content also extracts fluid from the wound. The Manuka people have a honey that also contains a plant derived antibiotic next to what the bees put in. It works but I am not sure if it is much stronger in effec

    Okay...when "it dose not av to be europe" than look for boar hunting forums, there will be outfitters on there from Australia to Texas and Hawaii. If you want to give a traditional bow and dog hunt some tropical charm then check out South Africa. Tip: if you are not fit physically do some training before you book a hunt, make sure you can run a couple of miles. In case of horses don't lie about your riding skills, your *ss will be hard after 1 day. L

    Nice idea but this dog does not play for fun. He wants to run, kill and come back, the quarter DID drop that coming back means more action ...if I would present a tennisball when he comes back to me he might think I have lost it. It would be pretty pointless.

    Downside of the UK is that they have a "culture" of stealing dogs...here you can tie your longdog to your bike when you go to the supermarket but I would not dare to do that in England...but that is based on what I read only...
  14. Lennard
    Does it have to be Europe? I can think of nicer and easier places. Texas, Argentina... What are you looking for, classic style with hounds after and at it or driven shooting? What languages do you speak and how much may it cost? Cheers, L

    Having a collie lurcher would make it easier, the dog in question is a galgo. A hairy and racy longdog bred for hares on big fields originally...it has very little will to please and is hard to reward. it did some nice retrieves over water but the last times it doesn't.
  16. Lennard
    No problem Doris all input is welcome
  17. Lennard
    Long line and reward. That makes a point. I will starve him a little bit and take some chicken and give it a go. I have to, I need retrieves over water and don't want to waste game. It is going to be interesting, I feel I have a chance but I am also curious how far the dog and me are going to push eachothers patience. I'll get a rabbit from the fridge and make it as fun as possible. To be continued.

    Lennard replied to bolio's topic in General Talk

    Bolio, I don't want to be sergeant Buzzkill but it is not legal, the whole of Scandinavia is pretty tight with hunting law. It is a shooting country. And it is a pain in the *ss to get dogs into the country. They have scent hound work but a gun should be involved always and the Swedes stick to that. L

    Some people here use Chlorox for dirty toes with bacterial or fungal infections...also an oxidising agent but cheaper...I have no directions for use though... L

    L.S., My dog is a pleasure to own and work but lately he did not retrieve 2 catches. One of them I found but the other one was eaten by crows when I went up the next morning. It is also bugging cause the work is done over water a lot of times and I don't want to jump in myself. He has a very good routine, comes back automatically when he got or lost what he was after so I can't really say anything or reward him more or less than normal. He has very little will to please and can't be rewarded with food. Tennisball or something to practice retrieving is useless too. He does that pla

    Depends a bit on what they have to do. If they are just kenneled and exercised and are used for rough hunting only it is different from when they have to be supersocialized with cats, traffic and stay alone at home and be superobedient. I think 2 or 3 is a good number, 1 old, 1 normal and 1 young coming up. But I have 2 now and that is enough combined with the rest of my life. L

    I would love to have a whippet for small fields and difficult terrain. As with any dog you have to let it teach itself HOW to run BEFORE they get old and fast...they have to get to know what to do with holes and wire and make proper decisions what they can do and what not. I take a pup and let it scramble around on heavy terrain in its youth. Dogs have to use their heads in stead of crashing into everything. L

    My main dog gets work every weekend in the winter, daytime or lamping, when he is ok (no inflammated toes or diarrea or things like that). During the week the dogs are on a longer mission 5-10 km next to the bike every other day or shorter missions every day. Last day before the weekend is a day of rest. L
  24. Lennard
    Yeah give it easy, realistic catches so it does not have to bark

    I like that kit jackard. Homemade and elegant. Question, is the bulb covered by glass or something or is it open...and if it is covered is there some sort of clip system for the glass or a ring you screw on? cheers L
