James ed 58 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 hi all Just got my first ever working dog, ? She is an 8 week old whippet bitch. Iv had pet dogs in the past as well as a pet lab at the moment. I was just wanting advice on training feeding injections so on, she will hopefully be my ferreting partner, so any advice would be verry welcome. ATB James Quote Link to post

shepp 2,285 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Minced tripe and meat all the way for the first year at least. Only a small dog to feed so should'nt break the bank. It will get all it needs from that, plus you won't get half a ton of shit to clear up. 1 Quote Link to post

Tozer 385 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I must admit. I started on raw with mine. Fazed her onto dry and now I am back on raw. I can find it difficult yo maintain condition on dry. It is a lot more pleasent picking up on raw. Even with the high quality dry. Quote Link to post
