That's what I do with stock. Yeah bond, bond, bond imo.
Rather than tell him off for chewing, give him something he can chew. I've used that stuff for stopping humans chewing their nails in the past
In my experience if you treat them well and fairly, and spend lots of time with them, they'll do as you say. Probably test you a bit, and you need to pass lol.
Some aren't very trainable though. Recall and stock training I'd be thinking about
Did you just look at the pictures in them books you were on about.
The salukis and crosses are mostly bred off any saluki folk could get a hold of, that's why it's mostly the same blood and the sals are inbred lol
Another vote for rabbits way out on rough ground, probably jinx the next pup but they normally catch the first one.
Don't think missing daft rabbits on the lamp or all summer long missing rabbits on holes/cover in the day does pups any good. Sure lots of faults folk talk about are learnt from this sort of thing
Fred's dam was Bess(Mushy X Smith's Fly)
Mushy was Ivor's Rose(long coated "Norfolk") X Browns saluki grey.
They say some of the first litter out of Bess's brother Rebel to Eve had that much coat they were bucketed? ??
Remember a article in the cmw about MP Lucky and Tina, and he mentions something about collie blood and herding to the guy. It's the saluki blood though imo, purebreds work hares don't they
Read they were ripping through Bedford hanging out of vehicles, holding hares out of windows, and two of the 4x4's were ramming each other in Bedford ???????????................?
