I recon some ejit threw an Afghan in the mix early on.
Surely in a bygone era. The Afghan hound was a dog with a purpose. Otherwise they wouldn't have been formed . Who's to say there sint a strain still being worked out there and we are doing the animal's a disservice. Look at the early saluki hybrids here in the early 80s to now . Things change , so much so that the arabs came back to the uk to help their lines out . Their lack of wisdom is our gain . Especially wiping out most prey that they ran . Jmho

I see a young lad proud of his young hound, then looking beyond the initial glance I see a leggy sapling with plenty of bone in its feet.
A saluki, galgo mix.
Never judge a book by its cover

It would be nice if someone local could even loan this young lad a seasoned ferret . Get the ball rolling so to speak . And lewis , with every mistake and blank . Your still learning something. Trial and error young man . And as has been said . You will be on top of the world when all your efforts come good

Ill still take them out, as and when,...but for me now, it's gonna have to be,.... 'quality over quantity'....
Good hunting lads, stay safe, regards, OldPhil
I actually take more pleasure in catching a few from different areas and reintroducing them in other areas late January. Then watching their progress . I personally get more enjoyment in that than nutting them . Just keeping a few for pot

Lovely litter buddy . As for dew claws. It's all opinions until a dogs standing lame with a dew claw pointing wrong way . That's why some would walk away . Some never have a problem. Again , it's also dependent on terrain etc . Regardless. Atb with the litter

Personally I wouldn't use bone radiol until swelling is completely down pal . As someone said . Freezing water till the dog cant take any more . Few times a day . Once theres no heat or swelling on the injury, then the bone radiol comes into it's own. Please dilute it as it can blister . Good luck

Be from GA that king they do all that gear with the individual company's own label or bags but it's produced at ga
As you know prince . Its expensive at £40 quid a bag . The difference I notice is . When soaking it , I only soak for 15 mins . It doesn't swell up like marshmallows. And stays relatively at the same consistency ( more palatable) . And secondly, I feed less off it . 1lb red meat mixed . In to up the protein, a full chicken leg in morning for breakfast during season. I dont use supplements as you know

A young 23 year old took a chance on this . His uncle is known to a lot of Scottish lads in the dog game . He put the lad up for the post . Might I say what a great lad . Learning fast . Has hardly had to shovel shit lol . Hes ready to start his qualifications etc . But what an honest hard working lad who took a chance leaving his old job and in a few year could be a technician in Australia if he still fancies that . Nice to see a lad take an opportunity and good to see a success story

I think most novice lurcher men learn more off their first dog than a hundred books . We learn from mistakes. Well we should do . My first was a collie, grey x whippet. Caught some gear . But missed loads down to my inexperience. My advice is wait until something catches you eye , rear it like any of your other dogs but implementing field work training. Maybe get someone local to oblige a day or 2 out . Point you in right direction. Off you go . Best a luck
