    From experience ive known several bitches needing c-section that were in that age class .IMO a bitch should of have had a litter when in her prime rather than later to relax whatever needs relaxing lol. To expect a maiden bitch to of that age[if she is] to be in tip top condition reproductively is asking a bit much but what do i know .Crack on but be wary of overfeeding as she will find it extremely hard to lose at that age.

    Not heard of a novice course in the field but a few guides will take you stalking for a variety of fees depending where you go .

    You are either a wind up merchant or a dreamer havnt made mind my up yet .We will get the inevitable calls soon but i wont lose any sleep about it .All part of being available for fox control.No gripe with what you do either only that we do it better.

    Fox control at this time of year for either lamb or bird protection is the most effective period .Kill a fox any other time its for sport and will be replaced straight away ,kill a fox now and the territorial boundary it had set up will last quite some time .Remove a vixen and youve spared a whole load of killng .Those that know will be doing it ,those that dig for sport will have have hung up the graft simple .To say that control should have been done in the winter and no probs now is to use the moral high ground but reality is very different.No one likes doing cubs but no one likes losing p

    See the retards are showing ,bit early normally but had to happen

    Lift the protection status and i would agree with introduction .Otters have been introduced to our rivers locally with a huge knock on effect of killing large barbel .Might be success for some but something has to give in order for that to happen .Know nothing of the pine martin but i believe it was once commen all over britain so whats changed .

    Should get plenty of advice what with the show season nearly on us lol

    Whats lost on a lot of you is that an outcross is not necessarily so different .I would never use a dog that didnt have links to what i have .The same base bitches take a different way forward in the hands of someone else especially if the DOGS were of different breeding .By research and keeping in touch things arnt so bad .To outcross to something just because it works is courting disaster imo .Also the reason for outcross needs clarifying ,its not to rectify defects its to prevent them occuring .Honesty with yourself and others will go a long way when choosing your next sire .

    wonder what a labour government would have done faced with same or would it have never come to it under labour .A failing industry was the problem .The way thatcher went about it was her downfall ,her hatred of the labour ran unions .Chalk and cheese .Unions ,although set up by workers for the workers were politically swayed and bought off by opposing government so there was only ever one outcome

    What i would want to know is how long the chap has line bred and has he used this mating before.Too often would concern me but a one off because they were outstanding would encourage the sale .If your buying it with a view to future breeding /starting a line then please refer back to the breeder for his advice on what to do .Im guessing you have done a bit of background on it and are happy with what you know. BTW any breeding within a line is exceptable knowing all is well with the stock but too close is not recommended too often .

    Have a word with badgerbeck mate .Im sure shes got one to suit that .

    On the game fame i worked the automatic turning system kicked in twice a day mate but we manually turned once more just before candleling and it was turned off altogether just before hatching .Cant remember number of days as it was 25 years ago lol.
