I've read that before - I can't do tug games with my staffs as they just end up fighting In fact they can't have any toys due to the fact they destroy them and/or fight over them and jasper generally doesn't play tug he's usually pretty good at giving guess yesterday he knew it was his birthday so decided to push his luck haha but I am going to try and do some more fetch with him could probably do with getting a rabbit hide that's been tanned or something for training with him but we shall see what works with him Tug is a one to one activity. If you wanted to have a go at it, put the other

Thanks everyone - it's something we will work on but I mean I am surprised he didn't just eat in the bushes - and that he did at least fetch them both out and drop them (ok not close enough and allowed them to run but none the less) as he had no drive for toys of any kind so he's never really been taught to fetch - although we have tried in the past and he would do it a couple of times before getting bored so still a work in progress but I'm still proud of what he's done (of course apart from refusing to let go) he has an obsession with carrying things in his mouth that he's either attempting
-
No offence but a Lurcher isn't suppose to be killing and eating what it catches it is supposed to bring it back unmarked so you can eat it. Sounds like the dog is getting possisive maybe with the other dogs there its trying to eat so they cant have it. He does fetch them back unmarked but just became a bit confused today as Adam didn't get there quick enough and told him to drop it after telling him to catch it again as it ran off then telling him to fetch etc think it was just a weird one over all happened pretty fast and don't think he wanted princess to get it - we don't eat rabbit i don't
-
He caught another today - not as big, also didn't see this one he just went into the bushes and fetched it out we thought it was a dead one till it started running - although this time jasper helped to dispatch of it by pulling its head off and swollowing whole as Adam was trying to get him to drop it ? Think it's safe to say Jasper definitely knows what he's doing now

So proud of them both as you know what they are like around food so glad there was no fight and more working as a team than anything else - the blue staffy bitch that you've seen (I think) is looking for a new home as she doesn't get on with our others and it's not fair on any of them (she would probably make a pretty good worker too which is upsetting) but need to do what's best for her and the others

The "red thing" is a slip lead made into a figure of 8 as a halti - he pulls like a freight train and likes to hop on his back legs like a kangaroo when he goes out so this way it helps to keep him under control and focused on the person walking him not to mention this way he's not strangling himself as he tries to pull - the lead comes off once we have got to where we are walking away from roads
-
Yea I've taken him out and seen some rabbits but he hasn't haha .. Last night my red staff actually saw and chased 4 out of 5 that I saw but of course they disappeared into the bushes or under the train tracks fence so most she's ever actually seen which was nice to know she's game I'm not bothered about her not actually catching them it gives her some good exercise haha
-
I was just thinking that haha could do with the type they use for horses with the bar at the top that goes across (or like they have in doctors) I will try a few things tomorrow might take him for a good walk first might be more likely to stand a bit more still then haha - we taught him to sit for a stroke so now he sits all the time when you want to do anything with him including taking pictures

I could be slightly off on his height it's really annoying me now ? Because I just tried to measure him on my own with a book on his back to try and get that part straight and hold him up so he stands but he wasn't standing up straight and his legs too far forward so going to try find the better tape measure tomorrow when Adams home and re-measure him (hate admitting I'm wrong but guess it happens to all of us and will have a better measurement tomorrow fingers crossed)
-
Well everyone on here likes to know height and you can't always tell by pictures so he's the only one I measure I don't measure my staffs - I measured from the floor to his shoulder while he was standing and yes my red staff is awesome she's my pride and joy and I do a little bit of drag pulling with her too I will measure him again tomorrow and double check not easy when he just wants to sit down and not stay still but it's a rough measurement when I measured him a few weeks back he was 22" tts and has grown since
