    I dont know enough about sea eagles to comment on whether they could be a danger or if its just scare mongering....but if they are anything like goldens then I wouldnt want to walk a dog in that area!!! I have seen 2 dogs killed by goldens...one a small terroier and the other a pointer

    runforyourlife.....flights for humans might be cheap but not for animals!!! Only certain airlines and certain airports with licensed anilmal holding areas can fly pets. I have just flown a puppy to spain from UK (£600) and one to houston £950, and one to autralia £2000. You cant get budget airlines flight for livestock I am afraid. if you can get a lurcher puppy young, then there is a cheaper option that a lot of airlines try not to tell you about, and that is taking them in the cabin as hand luggage. i cant recall the weight criteria now but i think its 8KG, and not all airlines do it, b

    there are 2 types....one pulls a catch like the one on the OP photo and the other ones pull a pin, like a proper coursing slip. I want one of the latter if anyone knows where i can get them???

    can onoy echo this post....over the years i have discovered that new young vets nearly always diagnose a heart murmur....maybe your vets not one of these but if so,...get a 2nd opinion!!! Incidentally they normally grow out of it so really dont worry.

    rabbit and weetabix are not suitable puppy diets. mine start to get fed a combination of a readymade balanced puppy diet, soaked and mixed with meat (beef usually) at 3 weeks.....little at a time....made into a sloppy porridge and gradualy getting firmer ove the weeks. they need feeding 5 times a day to start with and as you gradullay reduce the time the bitch spends with them, then the feed quantity must increas. Mine are weaned by 8 weeks with mum just popping in to visit and do some mothering, but no feeding by this age. presuming you are just having the basic vaccinations, then usually 1st

    I agree. Its the gun I am hoping to buy, but to be hoest a new one is barely more than the price of the 2nd hand ones on here.....all with guarantees etc, so hardly worth the prices people are asking, especially when i want an unscoped one!

    ok I gotta ask this....if you know enough about dobes to be able to pick the best one....surely you would have known the law about their tails????

    jim i have a working bred deerhound who most certainly does NOT have greyhound outcross thanks

    its natural selection....let them do it.....according to darwin it will mean the rest of us will have more space on the planet!!!

    if you will consider selling without the scope, and can give me a price without scope, id be interested.

    i think looking at the pix and reading the details of most dogs in this thread, the actual percentage of deerhound in them is doing nothing more than adding a bit of grey wiry coat!!! and probably not really contributing in any way to their working characteristics. Mine are/have been all either pure bred or are 1/16 greyhound.....and therefore i think my points in my earlier post are valid , pertaining to the OP.

    I wasnt aware that "working breeds" had breed standards other than their KC one?? Anyway its all irelevant as the BBC arent covering it this year...which is good news for the rest of us as there will be less time pressure and much more room and hopeflly more like a dog show than a circus production.

    i have both pure deerhounds and deerhound x greyhounds. They are not good with pain ....worse than any other lurcher or sight hound ive known...the chase instinct is high but can be quite hard to enter to actually take stuff. Have coursed a lot of foxes over the years!!! Good on rabbits but due to sheer size are not good at turning. Health wise its vital to ensure that they come from heart tested and liver shunt tested parentage.

    Have you tried asking his breeder to take him back? Any responsible breeder would ALWAYS take back a pup under such circumstances.I know if I was the breeder Id be wanting him back rather than passed pillar to post...they are not the easiest of breeds.

    you need to go back to complete training basics and work on the good retrieves......taking him with others wont help as he will be protectiong "his kill" from his rivals.

    i feed 2 hounds on it and they do very well on it. A friend of mine feeds 20 st bernards on it and they gleam and have body and energy. Can only speak form experience but its not bad for cheap food.

    like to see pix....what would you take without the scope? Would you include airbottle or pump instead?
  21. farlap
    was that the york and ainstey?

    make sure someone the dogs are registered in someone elses name too as I know of someone who had her dogs removed and sold to help cover her debts

    ive hada bit of personal experience with this in tht i also picked up a road kill (saw it happen so knew it was genuine). After calls to many different taxidermists including their governing body and a friend who holds a licence for recordong otter activity with NE, it appears you can only mount an otter legally with a licence . The licences is nowadays only licensed if its going to be used for educational purposes or for a museum. not for private collections.

    might take a bit of training to get mine to that standard. Lovely!!!
