GypsyJoe 36 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 My latest addition, Herne the hunter, I didn't get him till he was near a year old, my sister found him in a horrid state, hid him in her student digs till he yodelled the place down, then called me to go visit her and presented me this dog. He was left behind by travellers who had been in the area, he seems to have a weak right foot and cries suddenly if he catches it, but he's doing really well now and had definatly been a worker before, so I have high hopes for this lad. Plus he's amazingly well camouflaged, at dawn and dusk it's really hard to spot him even a few feet away Quote Link to post

GypsyJoe 36 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 May be worth having that paw checked out Yeah agreed. At first I thought it was just the 'lurcher scream of death' as he runs about with the others well enough, but he keeps raising it and crying when he's at rest, thinking there might be an underlying fracture maybe - going get him booked into vet monday thanks Quote Link to post

collie/grey 238 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Nice looking hound, I would say he is younger than a year old though going by those pics, he still looks fairly puppyish and has some knuckle to grow into Quote Link to post

The limp was still there so he took it to a different but not ao well known feller and just by the bitch walking towards him he diagnosed the problem. Fractured wrist. No doubt qggravated by the first man f***ing about with it. The sun doesnt shine out of all there arses i assure you. Very nice got a striking look about him. Atb. Quote Link to post
