Panna 68 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I am sorry for your loss, mate, that may be terrible! I am not into slighthounds (I keep Russells), so forgive me for the question, it's just not the first time I read that slighthounds brake their back: is it a frequent accident by them, or it is only by mistake I read more issues as yours. I hope you will find his replacement soon! YIS, Anna Quote Link to post

Ive had few dogs over the years didn't make old bones, they got killed or could never run proper again, its a tough+hard like for running's dogs . But must be just as hard for earth dogs.?

Thank you for the explanation, Bird! Well, terrier life isn't easy as well, but it depends on what type of work the dog does and how hard he/she is. YIS, Anna Quote Link to post
