You want a bottle of Tuf Foot, its made for healing and hardening pads. if its a deep cut they can take weeks to heal, some times they look like there healed and there not and you end up back to start so give it plenty of time.
My dad has a litter at the min 4 weeks old out of a first x labradoodle to a top daytime dog bred by Kenny Hall. These should make handy dogs in the right hands. Still two left if any body intrested.
fed working mix through winter for alot of years now with success. also mix chicken in every day but my dogs get plenty of work so they need the extra protein where as if your dogs are not doing alot of work you will be better using original or classic when mixing meat. all of the chudleys foods seem to be as good as each other but its just which you prefer.
Not a collie greyhound man myself, but up till the ban a friend of mine coursed pure greyhounds and won some big competitions with them and had some top dogs in his kennels. Hancok collected greyhounds for breeding from these kennels quite regular. The last one he took was in 2005 which was a 3 year old bitch which had won alot. So they is still some tryed and tested blood in there on the pure side of it.
Bed mine on quilts all year round, layed on carpet can not be comfortable. When the cold weather kicks in i have an heater on, only on low to take the chill off. This does make hell of a difference.
