My dog is being fed Burns is that recommended? I want to feed him "named igedients" not 4% protein - whatever that is. I feed him a bag of bones per week too, often lamb bones, but sometimes beef. He eats all the lamb bones. Is this what you would consider a balanced diet, he doesn't actually work at the moment but I cover several miles a day with him. advice please thanks Carrie

Hi all, I am a complete newbie to the forum, I have a wonderful dog (Syd) who is 1/2 scottish deehound and !/2 collie cross greyhound (pic eventually) He is now 14 months old and still whole. Unfortunatley he had an argument with some barbed wire recently it had to be stiched now just over a week ago. (and antibiotics). His scar is 2/3 inches long.

So it being the end of the season is probably a good thing. He is Blooming fast though! We are experimenting with a training collar. I will post something on the running dogs section. I look forward to being educated! Carrie

Hi all, I am not (yet) a hunter, but my dog is ( well would like to be). Syd my companion, is a deerhound lurcher, Dad a collie/greyhound cross, mum a scottish deerhound.
