    Thanks for those videos, I know an operation will be required but will it be the end of the dog's working life, anyone had experience of this?

    I have just had this diagnosed on a hard hunting Spaniel. NATACC how did your situation resolve itself?

    A point I have tried to make on a number of threads of a similar nature is that a puppy should be allowed to be a puppy. Many advocate teaching a puppy to sit, hunt and heel when it is a few weeks old, no wonder the pup becomes 'sticky'. Play with it, let him see you as his best friend, he will soon realise that you are the provider of free running exercise. You will soon know when the pup becomes receptive to training - many of the great trainers of gundogs would not start training until a pup was 8 months old! PS. Although heelwork is one of the basic and early requirements in the Labr

    You need to decide how serious you want to take it. Do you want a camera that you can carry in your pocket and just point and shoot? Have a look at this site it explains and reviews the various cameras available and may help you with the compact v DSLR v Bridge argument. http://www.dpreview.com/articles/2367736880/roundup-enthusiast-zoom-compact-cameras

    The silent whistle was all the rage at one time, but many handlers found they went out of tune and were easily blocked by debris. The vast majority use the washable plastic 210.5 or 211.5 whistles

    I have had one since 2001. A comfortable, reliable workhorse that still looks in great external condition. When I can bring myself to part with this one, I would without hesitation, replace it with another!

    There is a real chance that you would ruin the pup even if you leave him in the van. The noise - beaters shouting, gunfire and if it's the usual beating line, other beaters dogs running wild etc. Your pup is still a baby and needs gradual introduction to all these excitements. But these gradual introductions need to made under your control, not at a shoot, where you have no control! It also depends on what standard of dog you are happy with - a steady,confident and obedient working dog or a wild, uncontrollable dog, you end up embarrassed owning. A lot of owners are, understandably, ea

    At 8 weeks old?

    Absolutely correct by Irish Lurcher. You wouldn't try to teach an 8 week old baby to walk or talk! Let the pup grow up and allow it to form a bond with you, play with it, the puppy needs to see you as it's best friend - it's provider of fun and free running exercise! The pup will soon let you know when more considered training is necessary, usually around 6 months old. Also it is important to remember, not to over exercise a young puppy, you can cause serious health problems.

    Labs are fairly late in maturing, so do not be in too much of rush to start formally training it. Let it be a puppy but remember to socialise it with traffic, other dogs & people. If this is your first dog it may be useful to see whether any of your local gundog societies are running training classes.

    It did quickly cross my mind whether the occupants of the vehicle were frequenters of this site!

    Presupposing that the BBC are accurate with this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-20288624, are there any reasonably minded people on here who really believe that Coursing will ever be legalised again?

    Matt, I have just received my second knife off you - absolutely outstanding materials and workmanship! I have a tiny collection in comparison to some doyens on here, including Bison and Pat Mitchell and without doubt your workmanship is absolutely first class, you are a talented man. Should there be any knives left out of the recent batch, I would be really pleased to purchase them off you.
  21. wyeman
    Probably struggling because of the weight of all those knives!
