  1. That bit a saluki you added will go a long way davie
  2. I'd wager its dislocated and popped back in . ( stubbed toe) don't cut nail back . The swelling is nature's way of protecting the injury. The blood inside the toe will eventually form a callous . That toe will be stronger than the other toes if left for 6 weeks . Road walking only. If you run the dog the likelihood of the little bit of bone that cups the other bone will break . Then it's toe off time . Hope this helps . Source a good greyhound vet if you take him . Edited to say . Please do not add heat to that injury.
  3. Its contract work . Bale up , move on .
  4. Only a good biocide would kill it off
  5. Just like to add . The contractors were in cutting the hay 2 weeks ago . Is that coincidence. I think not , when you read up on RHVD . This awful disease is so transmit able and clings to any surface.
  6. Moocher , unfortunately its RHVD . Ivd not been on here in 5 months. And only came on to see if anyone has came across it . I have 4 spots that had no rabbits 5 year back . I kept dropping rabbits from different areas to create a strong gene pool. And this summer has been an unreal breeding season. A friend was walking his terrier there yesterday and said he found a rabbit lying dead with no Mark's. I got the fear straight away. I took my fell terrier there today . Dead rabbits everywhere. Bleeding from nose . I was seeing 50 at a time . Seen 2 . And the thick brambles are stinking of de
  7. M/C you have been out twice today . No-one can slate that . There will be men crabbing that shit themselves to walk out and have a go . plenty up here like that . But sure as it will rain in Scotland. They will be back at it in 6 weeks . Not directed at anyone in particular btw .
  8. Everyone does something a little different with pups . There's no exact science to it . If your older and wiser , you learn by your mistakes and you make less of them . Once you've done right by a pup . Nurture it till second season. Its all down to them . Unless they are being flogged . Or owners are kidding Everyone on they are out when they ain't. Which is just as bad as flogging them .
  9. It will come good . Keep massaging
  10. Was the fields at the Balmore Road not big enough ?
  11. Sire was romeo/ chance dog . Dam was Eddie sweeneys gypsie ( splodge lines ) . Thanks for the kind words lads
  12. Nice animals brambles. You from ayrshire?
  13. Haaaa he usually turns up wi his red trainers on pmsl
  14. Beautiful stamp and condition. Apart from the ears lol . Beautiful dog tbh
  15. Good post . I think your giving yourself a head start with generations of producers behind a litter, even if there's no guarantees
  16. What about a coursing bitch x non ped ? . I owned 2 . And I'd have bet them to beat an out and out courser or a hard blood on a 200 yard slip on heavy . Best of both worlds at times
  17. I think we're missing a point here . On any given day real heavy ground can turn to good going in 6 hours . If we are to have top animals then they need to be able to run on any conditions underfoot. That's a true dog imo . However imho the heavier the ground the tougher the shift . Look at it this way . Try cross country running on good going. And then along sand dunes . You will know . But a plough lizard will struggle on bald grass ... fact . Greatest saying ever ... horse's for courses. Merry Xmas
  18. I would say so on smaller land , steady type and bald grass . Yes
  19. Strong pup that . Best a luck with it . What's its lines
