gels or ointment to close wounds
grompz replied to grompz's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
thanks lads for your replies, will try the derma gel ointment,when you mention dry cow, is that what they call udder cream . -
any one recommend any good products for healing and closing up cuts and wounds on dogs, been using pettifers green gel, but would like to know what works for other folk,maybe some sort of equestrian stuff works,think there is something called cut and heal any body knowif its anygood for dogs.
-
plenty of rest, you could go to any equestrian supplier, and get some rubs for strains and bruising in horses. personally I'm agreat believer in using aloe vera and witch hazel gel for using on my dogs, g,ood old fashioned treatment, worth a try. atb.

I am not disputing the fact that this fella trevs whippets can get double figures day or night,but there are always exception to the rules in the dog game,all i am saying is that in my 55yrs of working lots of different types of lurchers,whippets would not be my first choice to do every day work,i used to be into the numbers ,game, and ran the dogs i hadreally hard night after night in the season,it would be intresting to know the type of land,size of fields he works and how much barbed wire he has around him,as majority of whippets are a magnet to it, pretty sure they wouldnt last too many s

A FEW YEARS AGO, I RAN A COUPLE OF GOOD STRONG WHIPPETS,THAT I GOT FROM AN IRISH LAD THAT I KNEW WELL, DONT GET ME WRONG THESE WHIPPETS WERE BRILLIANT IN DAY TIME, EXCELLENT FERRETING DOGS,REALLY GOOD HUNTING AND BUSHING SKILLS AND A PLEASURE TO LIVE WITH, BUT AS FOR WORKING THE LAMP NO ARSE OR STAMINA IN THEM,THEY WERE GAME ENOUGH AND LIGHTNING QUICK,BUT LONG AND FAST RUNS IN LARGHISH FIELDS LEFT THEM KNACKERED, ADOZEN RUNS BETWEEN THEM USUALLY SEEN ABOUT 6 RABBITS.SPRINTERS NOT THE STAMINA OF A GOOD WORKING LURCHER, YES I WOULD HAVE ANOTHER WHIPPET IF I WAS JUST ADAY TIME HUNTER,AND WANTED A

feel certain that dog is a 1stx,the reason i stated that it was out of nuttals breeding was that they bred true to type and the dogs usually made about the 30 to 32tts
-
that dog was probably out of john nuttal of clitheroes strain of deerxgrey, exchange and mart was the place to buy working lurchers and pups in the 70s,john used to advertise litters regulary in those days,my first ones were bred by him, if memory serves me right they were £15 a pup, and the deerhounds he used was the enterkine blood, i believe john was brian nuttals brother,often wondered why he stopped breeding them,great days and great memories, wish i had a £1 for every rabbit those dogs caught,they gave there all on all things and owed me nothing, and helped me when times were hard.

thankyou dilly dog, that statement has jogged my memory, knew i had heard tell of this before by the older terriermen,it was agood few years ago mind.
-
sorry neil,but i was led to believe, read it somewhere and heard it said that phil had turned against us using our terriers and lurchers,i do know that he turned heavily into a conservanationist,which is no bad thing the way the world is going,and had done alot of work to conserve thewildlife and the country,tell me neil apart from writing a couple of books and appearing on one man and his dog for years,what did he do to champion the working dogman and working dog,know he kept agood strain of alsation in later years,hopefully no offence taken if i am wrong,just proves dont believe what you s

sorry marvel didnt mean to say saracen forum,my mistake.

some nice old photos of bert scruffing a fox, and with his terriers, in phil drabbles book of pedigree unknown, in the days before drabble became an anti, he should have stuck with sheep dogs,and not lurchers.
-
cracking bit of old footage of bert,lovely to see how he bonded so well with his grandson,teaching him fieldcraft,another legend sadly gone but never to be fogotten, thanks neil for putting this up for us,good luck and all the best.

what is the breeding of the pup that you will be getting from dave, is it out of saracen, and how old,the reason i ask is because as i stated on the saracen forum, ive had 2 dogs from dave over the years, and didnt find them to be lacking what i wanted out of them, any body that has been around the breed and worked them for a long time knows they take a while to mature,are not out and out world beaters on every quarry, what i can say from my experience with them is they are a good and honest old traditional pot filling dog, back in the 1970s, when i first started out with deerx greys , purcha

good going to get that rabbit ryan,walked at least ten fields the other night with the lurcher and only seen 1 rabbit,terrible round us,as for ferreting hoping to get out over christmas and get a few, reckon i will have to travell a few miles to find something to go at,atb.
-
if you want your dog to end up with smashed up feet,and possibly broken legs run it full bore on rock hard frozen icey snow covered ground,finest thing all out to end a running dogs career.
-
yeah the one your talking about was in perthshire in1991, it was a three dog final.for england came kevin walker with a border collie/greyhound bitch,then for scotland was jim bell with a hancock bred beardie collie/greyhound,the for wales steve barton and alsation/greyhound, the trials were judged on bushing,ferreting, and lamping, kevin walker from england won the trials,good days when there were plenty of rabbits to be had,pity these trials were not run today,would sort a few of theso called lurcher men out,with their so called wonder dogs.
-
had the same problem with a dog i had to buy in afew years ago,but just do the same as you do dinosaurs, when ever i get a pup it travells in the vehicle with me every where i go, associates the trip in the vehicle with pleasure and not fear,seen pups cowering behind the seats and slime and froth pouring out of their mouths,not pleasant for the animal.
-
lovely condition on the pups,and the pictures,do them proud the standard of condition also as their breeder you have done a grand job, rearing them to that standard of condition there in,hope they all do well and get good working homes, atb.
-
northernlite thanks for your reply but the archive am refering to is 912 regonising the english deerhound.
-
read the write up colonel david hancock,and no not the lurcher breeder of the same name, did on the english deerhound a number of years ago, you might get an insight into what daves breeding program is about,just google english deerhound.
-
had a dogs from dave over the years,and they were all he said they would be, always found him to be honest and a gentleman, regarding his dogs,and i was genuinely happy with his stock, dave has dedicated a lot of years and hard work into recreating the english deerhound,alot of bad comments are made by folk who have never run or owned dogs bred by dave,and who listen to hearsay by others,he has been breeding deerxgreys along time now ,and still sends them all over the world, so that speaks for itself,good job people with the obsession of dave are still within the lurcher world.

the sound of a rabbit rumbling under ground when the ferret has bolted him, and the sound off doves cooing on a fine summers morning.
-
thats a lovely sturdy and strong pup good feet on it,all credit to the breeder,all the best with it peterhunter,sad to hear about your other lurcher, been down that road myself afew years back,atb with the pup.
-
£500 is nothing for a genuine working dog these days,providing it can do the job,when you think of the cost if you have to buy a pup in,innoculate it,feed it,let it mature to working age,any added vetenary costs,and then hope it makes the grade in the end,if i seen the dog graft and get on with it i would pay the asking price,but saying this,the price of good working dogs have gone through the roof these last few years,and a lot of inferior stock is being bred.
-
that dog of yours cold pint,is a superb specimen of the breed,if you had not stated the breeding,i would have said bedlington x greyhound,take care and enjoy,rare to see these days,same to you samuari,a really nice example.
