Barbwire

[MissRhianL 70]

I think throughout any running dogs working life they have all had meetings with Barbwire some good situations where its been a little nic or slight grazing to the skin and some bad where its dug in quite deep and torn the skin leaving a big gaping hole. If your dog does have the slightest tear off the Barbwire its quite important to treat it and thoroughly clean it as ive caught myself especially my fingers or palm of my hand on this stuff and got infected quite quickly. We had an incident with our dog last night with barbwire where it has ripped the crease of the elbow area on the front leg and left a hole there, so amongst that he has the odd slice here and there which you wouldnt notice without looking at him close, so if you got ur dogs jumping fences or gone out for the day or night working, dont just chuck them in the kennel and think 'f**k him its only a cut' just spend the odd 2 minutes and give them a quick look over at the end of the day and bathe any areas that need doing cause it can cause so many infections and put the dog out for many weeks.

Imo Anyone who just chucks a dog in the kennel without a thought shouldn't have dogs

But believe it or not some people do they dont give a sh*t unfortunately

So true I have to check the dog over properly otherwise I cant rest I need to know the dogs fine and seen too , shame that some people just pop them straight back in the kennel .

Same always check them thought it was basic care to do so.

Its the same when people have been lamping, they just put the dogs back in the run. I always scrub there feet with a brush and salt water and give them a good look over and rub them down before feeding them. I know then that they will fit and ready for morning....

barb wire is the one of the worst things ever invented the farmers up here av all started putting breech wires up now ive had more tears lately this way as one day there not there and nxt time they are and the dog jumps as normal and lands on top of the second srand its shite

[bedwhippet 164]

couple of fields round here have fences then on top of that have a foot and a half high of barbed wire to stop poachers, its getting rediculous

I can understand the farmers point in having it on the field to keep somethings from coming in and somethings from getting out but I went to 1 farm before and all they got is fence posts with 3 rounds of barbwire on it one low, one middle and one at the top of the fence post its a nightmare for the dogs
