  1. Do you think your dogs would take foxes if you went over to Ireland Northernlite or are they only rabbit dogs?
  2. Do a site search mate. Lots of info there.
  3. Buck is the first GSD first cross I've seen with floppy ears. Usually their ears are huge and erect. (That came out with a double meaning but you get my drift). As someone said he looks like one of those modern racy and powerful sled dogs. Be very interesting to see what he gets up to next season.
  4. 'This dog is only lead trained'. Maybe I'm suspicious but 'only lead trained' could mean it's got big vices which need ironing out.
  5. The fact that he tattoos their ears makes a lot of them shy in my opinion. It must frighten them to death. No wonder they are suspicious of people. It's pointless anyway, you can't make out the tattoo number after a while.
  6. How much does it cost on average, for a bitch to be spayed? Millet I'm reporting you to the RSPCA, no dog should ever have to sleep on a Liverpool blanket.
  7. Great pack you've got there. Do you ever have bother with fighting among them? I have a mate with a mix of terriers and lurchers and he's forever breaking up fights. Terriers always start it but they are in no position to finish it.
  8. I had a mate who was a semi -professional gun dog trainer. His speciality was springers. I went to a trial with him one day. He was running two litter sisters. One was an extremely shy bitch who could not even look at me. The other was an in- your- face, hard-nosed, hard hunting toughie. Before we left I noticed he'd taken the tough one behind the house and the bitch had come back with its tail between its legs. I asked him what the score was and he said he'd lifted it by its scruff and warned it to behave. He said if he'd done that in the presence of its shy littermate , the shy one would b
  9. What percentage of dogs classed as ' all rounders', are exactly as described on the tin? In other words how many will retrieve all quarry single handed, put in a long nightshift without losing any keeness and also be capable of retrieving fur and feather on a day's mooch? I would suggest not many. I reckon only ten to twenty per cent of lamping dogs are genuine, single -handed all rounders at night and competent day time moochers. But maybe I've only seen poorish dogs? If you look on Preloved there's always plenty of so called top dogs available at pup prices, but methinks a lot of sel
  10. Ever thought of taking a litter from your bitch Hawkins? If so, what would you put her to? What has she retrieved so far?
  11. Messer! Decent working man's price, but beware lads he's a messer!
  12. It's part of the deal on here mate. You oould put a post on here saying'Merry Christmas' and you would still get stick. Just ignore them, they are sad trolls.
  13. Looks more like a proper running dog now. He's a cracker.
  14. If this link doesn't work look up the following oin Youtube: 'Sauer 202 hunter's video'.

  16. Fantastic course. Felt sorry for the hare at the end. Must have been exhausting for the dogs and the hare. Sand is very difficult to run in plus the heat. Unreal.
  17. i think the opposite i definatley think with salukis and saluki hybrids the better the relationship with the dog/owner the better the dog will work, in fact i think it ALL about the relationship Very interesting. I'll keep an open mind on it.
  18. What's the reason for the artificial colouring on the legs of the dogs on both the saluki and galgos clips?
  19. Didn't like the dropped antelope bit. It reminded me of those vids filmed in Russia where borzois bring down dropped wolves . We brits defo have different ideas about what constitutes a fair course than other countries. The rest was interesting. Salukis seem to really obssess their owners more than other running dogs.Guys in the UK talk about their salukis the same way as the arab lad did in the video. Do dogs really run their hearts out for their owners? The better the man -dog relationship the harder the dog runs? Nah! Can't believe that. To me dogs of any breed run to catch for themse
  20. So what do you do in the following situations. You are walking with your three month old Saluki pup amongst sheep. They suddenly decide to leg it. Your pup looks interested and strains on the lead. He gets beside himself with excitement when his eye is drawn towards a straggler with foot rot. All his instincts are screaming at him to hunt down the weakest in the flock. By this time he is jumping up and down on the lead like a kangaroo. If it were my dog I would give several sharp tugs on the lead and shout 'no'! I would do this every opportunity I had until he wouldn't even look at sheep. W
  21. How do you teach a saluki pup to be bombproof around stock and to return to heel, if they cannot even 'psychologically' handle a bollocking? Do you get down on your knees and plead with them? Genuine question, surely the dog has to learn what is required of it? I understand what folk say about them having a totally different background to other working dogs, but surely the dog must pay heed to its owner's tone of voice?
  22. I think you've probably inadvertently trained your pup to pee where the training pad was. As above, scold when you catch it in the act. Get a crate-ignore the howls at first and immediately let it outside when you release it from the crate. Praise it when it pees outside.
