High sided sleeping boxes with carpet lining the bottom, and a couple of peices of "vetbed". Change the carpet every couple of weeks, (you can get pleanty off-cuts of new carpet for free), and wash the "vetbed" as and when needed. If the kennel is dry and draught proof, this is all that's needed. Cheers.

I'm sorry mate, but I don't realy understand your situation/I thought the dog was caged all day when you were out working, but now you say you won't be back to work until the end of FEB ? If you have more than a month to spend with it, can't you try and train it ? Hope everything works out, but I'm confused ! Cheerds.

rhe egg cycle has little to do with the temperature, it is to do with daylight hours. it could be minus 10 but if the hens are getting food and water and are health AND have extended periods of sunlight, they will lay. its about how long the bird is "awake" for to make the egg Yes; the days have been a lot lighter this winter, very little cloud cover, and if it wasn't for the cold, it would be like spring days, blue skys, sun !! Cheers.

Their mates dog, usualy !! LOL !! Cheers.

If a rabbit has mixi thats so advanced it can just be picked up by a dog, it won't be doing any breeding !!! I've seen crows pecking at mixi rabbits that were still alive, The poor b*****ds have no escape mechanisn to get away from any predator, so it's best to kill every mixi rabbit you see. They are of no use to the next years breeding stock. Cheers.

As long as it's legal, why should we worry what the anti's think ? They are ALWAYS going to hate us, but damned if they are going to be allowed to stop us posting what is LEGAL !! You are right that there are people on our side, who post before thinking or knowing the facts. But there is also people who put up stupid posts, that are just asking for trouble ! A little bit of thought before posting would help ! I put a post up with lots of foxes and dog pics, which were taken in Australia,and perfectly legal, but I'm sure the anti's will have downloaded them for future trouble making, but I REPE

I don't think it is anything to do with being Irish !I think some people just jump in and assume it was in the UK, unless the poster states it was in a country where it's sill legal. Cheers.

I've only got four hens, but they have been laying everyday. Probably due to the very mild winter we are having ! Hope it stays this way. Cheers.

And I was moaning 'cause I had a blank night on tuesday !! At least I had no drama's ! Hope the dog recovers quickly !! Cheers.

That sounds OK in theory, but if you look at the Greyhound thread with the video of Cashels Evening, at the last Waterloo Cup, the far bigger dog she is in with, leads up and makes the first turn, then the little bitch takes over and domnates the course to win. So it's not allways the first dog to the hare that wins. Cheers.

A very good post. I got banned from posting on K9, as I said 25" 55lb "Whippets" are not realy Whippets !! I think the breed standard is about right, 22",I think, for dogs. Anything above this and you have to wonder if there is Greyhound in there !! The WRCA have been, evidently , doing DNA tests on some of the Racing Pedigree Whippets, as there has been a bit of cheating going on by adding greyhound blood. The "Whippets" I have seen catching hares, have been the "NON-Ped" type, and certainly had Greyhound in their lineage. Cheers.

What do you mean by pace..not a dig im just wondering.. as folk most certainly have different veiw's and idea's..my idea of pace is a dog running at speed but not putting everything into it..and running for a long period of time covering a lot of ground with each effortless stride...i have seen the odd grey with good pace and even a whippet x grey but never a pure whippet..as i think there back's and bodies are too small.. Hi, my idea of pace may be different to some others idea , but when watching Racing Whippets we talk of early pace; finishing pace, etc. So i would class "pace" as sp
-
I find it strange when people say Whippets have no pace !! Pace is their main attribute ! I've had a few of the Non-Ped Racing Type Whippets that took hare regularly, but I doubt if the Ped types can do it regular. Of course they will take the odd one, but can never be considered "hare dogs" ! I think it was Walsh who said a Whhippet was overmatched by a hare, and hare wasn't realy a Whippets legitimate quarry, and he was the Whippets biggest supporter, and heavily involved in the NWCC ! Great dogs, but as I said on the Whippet v Fox thread,yes they CAN do it, by why overmatch them, when there
-
I suppose it depends on the type of Whippet you are talking about. I'm sure there is the odd Ped type that will take fox, but I wouldn't call them "fox dogs". The Non-Ped type, especialy the bigger ones should be able to do fox , but once again, I wouldn't class them as "fox dogs". Best thing , if you want to take fox, (where it's legal), get the correct dog for the job. Whippets of all types are grand dogs, but theres no point overmatching them, when there are far better crosses for the job. Cheers.

Brilliant things !! I've just finished eating a hare stew made in one !! Portion the hare, put it in the slow cooker with a bag of frozen "Country Mix" veggies, some gravy granules, switch it on before you go to bed, it'll be ready when you get up !! Definately NOT gormet food, but dead easy and tastes delicious !! It's also the only way I can cook leg of venison without it going tough! Cheers.

Could be in a country where it's legal. Possibly should have mentioned it though. Cheers.

I think you will find that the summerhouse is owned by the council at shady acres retirement home I wondered who all those doddery old people sitting around the place were ?? Cheers.

Should Whin have been banned . vote either way
chartpolski replied to Rake aboot's topic in General Talk
I though Whin was an obnoxious, arrogant, deluded, illiterate fool, who could wind me up like no one else could !! I tried to ignore his baiting, but allways ended up biting !! LOL !! At the end of the day, I think most knew he was just the site idiot, but fairly harmless....I'll miss his nonsense, I don't think he realy knew he was upsetting people, and don't think he should be banned ! Cheers. -
You say "after EACH time" !! FFS, there shouldn't have been a SECOND time !!!! Are you sure the dog game is realy for you ? And "what damage can it do " ? How about aborted lambs, sheep running into fences, etc ? The sheep don't know it's only 5 months old....and the farmer won't care how old it is when he, rightly, shoota it !!! Cheers.
-
You know for a fact your dog goes for sheep, yet you are STILL letting it do it ???????????
-
"Some days will, some days won't" !!!! Surely ONCE is more than enough ????? Cheers.
-
If you know the owner, why not just ask him if you can have the dog to rehome it ? Just taking it isn't the answer, could open a huge can of worms !! Cheers.
