littlefish 587 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 How old is the dog and how long have you had it? Surely if you like the dog you could give it a chance to gain a bit of physical condition over the summer and worked on a bit of training it might be worth the effort next season? Keep us updated on his progress. Quote Link to post

Keep us updated on his progress. aparently its 18month the lad who bredd it is well known throughout yorkshire and has good stock but according to my pal even that lad says i am wasting my time due to the abcess it had ,ive got the dog coming round now it was well timid before but i dont wanna get rid and it be passed pillar to post as i say it walks funny on its rear end and will it run its best if the weight goes on it properly?

woz 260 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 why dont you take it to a decent running dog vet and seek his advice..theres a massive diferance between a top coursing dog and a pot filler...my one dog has crap conformation he swings his left fore from the shoulder and lands with more pressure on the out side of his foot.this is from an old injury...the dog kicks ass as a pot filler...i beleve this action is due to the old injury and is a mechanical floor and im happy to run him unless he shows he's in discomfort.....my interest in taking hare are long sinse passed so i can forgive him this fault.........

artic 595 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 apparently it ate its own abcess of its back end and has something wrong with its legs.its a 5/8 bull 3/8 grey so they are not fast so even if it slows it a bit it will be too much,cut ya losses shoot it.bad ones take as much feedin as good ones WHY SHOOT IT? WHY NOT RE-HOME THE DOG TO A DECENT FAMILY WHO WILL LOVE AND CARE FOR IT AS A PET/FAMILY MEMBER. I HEAR "SHOOT IT" "SHOOT IT" TOO MANY TIMES ON HERE, IS IT A MACHO THING? HOW MANY WOULD REALLY SHOOT THEIR DOGS IF A SITUATION LIKE THE ABOVE OCCURED? SHOOTING DOGS IS A BAD NO NO....... Quote Link to post
rabitin girl 16 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Agree with Artic on this , Try to find the dog a good pet home if he isnt what you want Quote Link to post
Guest WILF Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Now I know this is a little bit way out, but bare with me..............take it to a vet and get a proffesional opinion, then make an educated decision. Crazy I know! Quote Link to post

OK LETS ALL SHOOT OUR UNWANTED DOGS!!!! yes great idea.lets give them to people.who may then breed out of more fukin shite producing more shite pups to be passed about and mistreated so ya end up wi loads to shoot or giving the whole breed a bad name,i know the dog and its breeding,it wont run well enough to work,you find a home for it and can bet ya bollox its yours.i wouldnt want it in my kennels as a pet for sure,but there again i workmy dogs so have no room for none workers.if i kept all the jackers i have had i would need a fukin housing estate to kennel them..... SHAME THAT Quote Link to post
Rocks 77 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I would get rid of the dog however you see fit. But do not waste time and money on something that is not right from the start. I would PTS and get another after all it is a dog not a kid. Funny how all the non-hunters post about rescue. Quote Link to post
