33 Years between photos father and son 1985 .....mother and daughter today

Unfortunately,.this is not a rare situation...? Some folk thinks they need a dog around the place,.whereas in fact,...they don't have the time or the savvy to get the best out of a canine pal... My advice to you,...and you obviously do have a heart,...is to keep on, keeping on,...badger them at every opportunity,..be like a dripping tap....constant...? Personally, I much prefer to see a dog pegged out on a good sensible chain with a box to get into out of the weather,..rather than locked away in solitary. If you can educate these people, then all well and good,.if you canno

Like i said in an above post if you're really into your dogs does it matter.I know so many lads who claim to be dog men who will happily by a £20 bag of weed a day or 8cans every night or £80 up their hooter on a saturday night but wont do a score a week on their dogs.

There's no set amount, just play it by eye, if a dog starts to look overweight give it a bit less etc. I started feeding raw proper about 3 years ago and couldn't go back to just biscuit. The dogs thrive on it, they look healthy and shiny and maintain a good solid look even after a hard day. I still get biscuits just in case i forget to defrost the meat and the next morning there'll be about 5 shits in each pen and the water bowls are almost totally empty, that can't be good for them. I was feeding a mixture of chicken and beef but they seem to look better on tripe so that's what they get main

Nosey neighbor lol clocking what time they are in and out ?

Ive always fed meat as half of my dogs diet even when i did use stuff from a bag but for the last 5/6 years ive fed exclusively raw.I normally pop into Morrisons a couple of evenings and look for whatever is reduced so they're always getting something different Beef,lamb,chicken and various offal.I alao by the cheap frozen bags of green veg broccoli,sprouts,kale etc which i just defrost and mix in with their meat.It might be a little more expensive and a tiny bit more time consuming but if you're really as into your dogs as some claim to be does it really matter.

.

Pleny a mackeral to be caught this time a the year 2 or 3 fellas can easily catch 50, 60 plus on an average evening a couple of outing would soon add up in the freezer it's a good addition to any diet.

Just had a call off the slaughter house, a few trays of beef offcuts, chicken legs and ankles, beefburgers and bones. Keep your face in with them and every now and then they'll have a clear out of freezer burned beef and so on. Two big bags of all sorts today, a picture to give you an example of what's there

It makes NO DIFFERENCE either way IMO, if you don't like the smell of dogs or the hair and dust they create then by all means keep them in your yard. I alternate them in and out, I've got idiots here that never turned queer because they were allowed in the house........some of you think to much.

Is the dog suffering? I have to leave my dog for at least 7-8 hours a day. (Big walk in the morning and straight out as soon as I come home) he never cries, has freedom of the home etc. When I first had to do it, i asked the neighbours to keep an ear open and at first sign of issue phone me. Never received a call So I would say unless the dog is showing signs of neglect or trauma or is barking it's bollocks off all day, I'd let it be but I wouldn't be allowing the owners to take the piss. Start charging them an hourly rate for walking the dog?

In 2011 it was 80% white British, 83% generic white. It's either changed a f**k load in 8 years or the statistic is bollocks. The conclusion you make is probably still valid though. I'd say to the Scottish, if what you see in English cities concerns you then have a rethink about your current politics! Cos it leads to the same place.

Monty aged 13 months..... a gift and a VERY generous gift too

Fed my working dogs nothing but raw beef and chicken for 30yrs, less shit, less smell, you don't have to feed them as much, better condition, better coat, hold there weight better after being to ground a while I find, I wouldn't feed them anything else even if I had to pay more.

13.5 weeks old Tyson 18.75 tts hopefully Make 24 and pip around 17.5

Their expecting him to look after it so I kind of makes it his business.

Meat is what we use during season.mostly local butchers but we do have a meat licence aswell which helps. This time of year its mostly restaurant leftovers as the meat in the place we get it is stink.ive seen lads feed the best brand of nuts (well the dearest)and there dogs would be lacking after a good days hunting or a nights lamping.meat for me gives the dogs something else.maybe its just me lol

I don't bother defrosting it now it's so hot out.... Dogs love it frozen and it keeps em busy longer

It does no harm to give it to them frozen, or semi frozen, in this weather it'll do more good than harm

The dog Alex had great feedback as a sire of workers on "Colliecurs" forum.

I work in Sheffield and from the m1 to the centre it is a sh!t hole. You struggle to see a British person, all Middle eastern or Romanian

Find the dog a good home and tell them it ran away.

I get your point, but mine wasn't actually about the fact Trump wasn't welcome more the question of how the f**k did Sheffield become 50% somalian, although it does explain how a somalian refugee became mayor. We are being quietly and obediently instrumental in our own demise.

Local abattoir, Wednesday or Thursday for the beef trimming and chicken carcass, Mondays and Tuesdays for the tripe. I don't feed tripe very often, I stick to the beef trimmings and either give a small amount of biscuits in the morning or evening too. Cost is zero, just the way I like it

As you said every opinion differs!i do find it all depends on the dog themselves!maturity levels and just there all round keeness and confidence!Fitness is key to! I think the biggest thing is 'men with terriers' can ruin a good bred dog at a young age thinking that there breeding is good and so it means they can do work at any age!And obviously its never the mans fault and always the dog!

I Like all beddy types he's a few old pics from years ago they all very good grafters then but I think finding working lines etc easier then than now due to breeders jumping on bandwagon to make dollar of folk now the Internet the place to search for pup not much spadework to be done other than click a few buttons etc

young bitch for this season

Had a little mooch last night around the stables for an hour or so. No soon as load the CZ I see my first target for the night, only been there 5 minutes. It caught sight of me and bounced off, I thought it would be well gone, but oh no. Popped my head around the side of the stable and there it was, sat perfectly up right no more than 20 yards away. I got my self positioned to shoot through the fence and then let the trigger finger go. Next thing thud, nice little head shot??

Do the right thing mate and poison the dog

Lamb's head about 50p and the lamb's paunch is 25p or whole green cattle tripe is £3. Cheap and easy.

Of course the breeding matters or you could catch hares with a yorkie. Any successful man holding a lead has an appropriately bred dog on the other end, no matter how good he is at training. As a rule the better the breeding the easier the success.

That's what the wife said lastnight ?

I’d keep popping around anyway can’t beat a nice woman in jodhpurs ??

Fairplay Mac.

Spent the first two years of his life in a cage for 12 hours a day until we got him . my wife walked in and say,d to the lad how long dose he spend in there every day 12 hours until i get back from work was his reply she turned to me and say,d put him in the car when we got home she told me to cut the door off the cage i did but soon it was the chair that he liked and that was his for 11 years until we had to put him to sleep cancer in his back end . Not the lads fault,,,marriage brake up ,,,and his shifts at work dog had food and water and was

i keep one in the house constantly ......which can be a problem after a ''walk'' at times ..hes clean and quiet and no bother at all...over the years all our dogs were in the house for a period at some stage ...all worked very well in the countryside ...it makes not an iota of difference ...i believe if a dog fails in his work ..inside or outside would not have been the reason

This fella was locked on a balcony in a tower block in a shit part of town for 9 months, before he was stolen by some well meaning person who then dumped him on someone else that lost interest after two minutes and he had a shed in a garden for the following 9 months, here he is three years on with his forever owner me,he first walked on grass at nearly 2 years old, so I agree with the first person to answer you,find him a good home and say he ran off, sadly it's the life of many dogs it's just not nice as its being shoved in your face and you clearly have more conscience than its owners, hope

They condensate really bad mate.Dont look half as nice as a wooden one either.

He’s a mayor elected by councillors not by the people It’s interesting how the people moaning about Brexit and the difficulty of trade deals etc are the same ones happy to jeopardise potential American trade deals with wanky shit c**t protests against someone we had no hand in electing whe saying and doing feck all when Saudi or Chinese leaders turn up over here

Suggest they get an outside kennel, as long as the dog got shade and water should be as a pig in the proverbial.

It was a shithole when it was full of white people as well ?

I think there's a few now regret going in that book some of them were well known ever before that book was there ever really any need ta go in it. Patterdale in Ireland thread on here is a good read.

I'll let you make your own decisions but I'm quite happy leaving a dog 9-10 hours with 1 walk a day. What you're talking about sounds a bit more than that. Sounds more like a taking the piss problem than an animal welfare problem but could become a welfare problem if they have no one to take the piss out of. It's not fair to make that call until it happens though imo.

Lads keep telling people the jobs f****d but we are waived away as naysayers.

That looks just like my shopping trolly except there's usually 20tins of the cheapest nasty sardines and bargain frozen veg and bottles of bleach and zaflora.The girls on the tills must think what a skanky f****r

Always get the bargains, butcher in morissons is old lurcher lad and sorts me meaty beef bones etc

Forgetting the terriers why would you be lamping with it been so hot and ground like iron ??? ???

Would you have to allow for the spin of the earth before letting the shot go. And do the 2 blades of grass dropped from an extended arm test to gauge the wind speed. And also try to visually see if there was any random nats in the line of fire. If yes to all the above. Great shoot away
