    Try leaving a bowl out side to fill with rain water, lot of shit gets put in our tap water IE fluride chlorine chemicals that smell wrong to your dog, that said mine drinks tap water as he has dry feed as well as raw. But given the choice he would rather puddle water or river stream lake ditch think he only drinks tap water when he has no choice. Atb with it mate

    Lots of trips away in camper,stalk a few carp out,do some game fairs kelmarsh next weekend. Will be fun to see if the dog will still chase a sack after a busy winter on the real thing,also renew my subscription to cmw (expensive fire lighting material) and pick up a few game pies. Then staight of to raydown leaze wiltshire for a few days with mrs and dog minus the kids After looking at fugis post definitely going to Scotland this year some stunning scenery to take in. Also read my mates library of hunting books,he has built up of 30 years or more, currently just starting a Moocher's tale by

    would I be right in thinking the reason for out crossing is to create a stud dog with all necessary traits that match the original line, as without this the original line would become sterile. Also in outcrossing the subsequent litters would go through the same selection process before being put back to the original line Seems like a very lengthy process if that's right, but I can see that you could end up with some very good consistent dogs How many generations can be bred before an outcross is required, as you wouldn't know if you had a litter full of jaffas

    In the good old days pups were tied to Rams for a day or two to teach them respect for sheep I was once told.

    Me too 50mg a day 5 weeks now can't say I have noticed any difference in my self tbo. Wife seems to think I have picked up a bit ? Apparently it's a very slow accumulation process to level out the chemicals in your brain.

    Reading some of these posts has made me realise how little I know tbo, so many factors to consider. I now can see why when people put 2 good workers together you seldom get pups that work to the same standard as parents. Where as in breeding and line breeding you know your going to have a litter of replicas pretty much. It must take years of carefull selection to perfect I want to breed from my dog at a later date and I am in contact with his siblings, not sure how conversation would go down with owners though

    I think all families will need to outcross at some point,and that is where danger lies. When you have spent years purifying or narrowing your gene pool it is impossible to have your eye on everything and some things are unseen. You can inbreed to do good or bad. You are engineering nature and all inbreeding is doing for you is vastly speeding up natural selection. The responsibility for the right selection lies with you. When you outcross you allow in thousands of genes,some of which can undo all the good work you have done.If possible an out and out outcross should be avoided and distantly re

    Bloody good write up by jeemes. Helped me get my head round it a bit better ,but why and when do things go wrong.I am thinking of plumbers line of lurchers. Thought you needed to outcross to refresh the gene pool. Cheers

    2 year helps loosen hips up plus no complications later should you choose to breed again

    Is a jacker perhaps a dog that has unfortunately got too much brain, then entered too much too soon ? Just saying because mate has had a few cast offs said to be shit but with patience and time have turned out superb all rounders If people want instant results then they might be better of with a gun Reckon it's more about the owner than the dog, wether it's Hancock bred or any of the other so called shit breeders worker to worker train up quicker perhaps, but also have inherent traits that we wanted twenty year ago maybe. However current climate as it is these traits can be a pain in th

    Should of said only under dogs bed area, when on site we have our tea breaks during winter and sit on that stuff and you get a warm arse from it

    I do some game fairs ok if you have a young dog but older dogs that have seen a lot of work may not be to bothered about chasing a sack around a field. Lots of non working racers going by the yapping,drives you nuts. Plus side they have beer tents
