I phoned one on the border, said he does them but its illegal to bring them down then back up...think I might have to lie!

Should I take this as an offer?

Planning a litter off my gwp bitch, and want the pups docked. I'm in Scotland so as you know it's not legal, any loop holes to do it legally? My bitch was from a Scottish breeder but was legally docked with certificate. Any advice would be great cheers

Cheers for the advice, I personally never enter a dog until I think it's mature enough to handle the hustle and bustle of a shoot day! Yeh I've a got a gwp bitch so I know all about how head strong they can be, but then again I had her from a pup. I can see extreme potential in her the dog will graft and one day be a valued member of the pack. As to what I think when she runs away I want to f***ing kill her as I can see her running about, stopping to look at me calling her and carrying on as she does! But just tell her when she comes back that I'm as persistent as she is and I'm not going

Background- got a 8 month old 2/3 gwp x1/3 lab, who is now 11 months old. The first month I got her I just did the basics and really got her to bond with me. Taking her out on a long lead and getting her to come to the recall on the whistle, basically getting her to fit in with my way of life and to fit into the pack. Started giving her more freedom as I was confident in her and there was the few teething problems you get with a pup, seeing her first pheasant flushed, bumping into her first bolting rabbit and seeing her first roe deer which I handled like I have my other dogs and she was

Yeh can't fault the dog, great retrieve, hunts, brilliant in water! Will be a great addition to the pack, just need to get this occasional nose to the ground and f***ing off for a bit! She'll come though

You can have my 8 month old one its a testing dog haha! She'll be good but what a head strong dog! Atb with your pup

Any recommendations for kennel base paint? Like the stuff you get in the boarding kennels. Cheers in advance

My springer does this, good for wounded ducks that dive under water

Yeh mine have runs too, but they get out early morning,afternoon,tea time and last thing! Had a thought though when they were pups they were in the house so they were house trained!

My three kennel dogs very rarely mess in there kennels (once in a blue moon) and my friend was looking after them for a few days couldn't believe they never messed in there kennels as every time he goes to take his out the kennels are covered in crap! I thought this was normal for dogs to be clean but obviously not, are anyone else's dogs clean? Marc

My dogs are kennelled individually with no problems

Aye the pup I'm going to keep when I have a litter I'm going to train on deer so just planning ahead! What size is it mate?

Anyone recommend where to get big chest freezers from big enough for roe etc Cheers Marc
