Just read through this post and I'm gutted for you mate, got a tear in my eye as I type, at least you know in your heart of hearts that you've done the right thing for him, wouldnt have been fair putting Troy through all that pain for it maybe not to work in any case. He'll not have felt a thing, just as though he was going for a long sleep, I'm sure Troys chasing bunnies in the sky as we speak, get yourself another pup mate, springs round the corner so it's an ideal time to get out and enjoy training a new pup through the summer, and you've still got your happy memories of Troy to keep you go

Your dogs coming on a treat by the looks of it Rob, she's grown loads since the last time I saw pics of her, as you already know I have a pup of the same breeding & same Sire, she's 3mth now and coming on great, all the best with her mate and we'll have to compare notes..lol. Cheers Don.

Hi Lads, I've got 1 copy for sale, I was bidding on one on e-bay and didn't think i'd win, so i bought one online, i ended up wining the e-bay copy so I've ended up with 2 copies lol. I've already watched it and its very good, been using some of the techniques on my 3mth old collie cross and its working well. I paid £3.99 plus postage, so all i'd want is my money back, pm me if you want the copy! Maybe if one of you's bought it you could copy it for the other, I'm nt sure how to do this myself though.

Well i'm going to buy a gundog whistle tomorrow, i'll let you know how i get on!

Thanks for the replies, from what i've gathered then a standard gundog whistle tends to be the preferred choice.

Busy with training my new pup and I was wondering what your thoughts are on using one of those so called 'silent whistles' for recall, does anybody use them?
-
Thanks for your comments, I know what you mean Mochara, It took over half an hour to get the pics, I was frozen to the bone by the time i'd got them...lol.

Lure machine almost complete (need a little advise)

Here's another take on it, but with a petrol engine My link -
My pup was the smallest & quietest of the bunch when I picked her, I was a bit put off by her shying away from me at first but she was the right colour ect for me, your always told to go for the pup thats the liveliest and who comes over to you first. The owner said dont let this put you off, all she'll need is a lot of one to one attention and she'll be fine, they even said give her a week and if your not happy with her and she's still as quiet, bring her back and I'll give you a full refund.........3 weeks on and you wouldn't recognise her as the same pup, spent loads of time with her an

Just replied to a similar post yesterday, happens all to often, I genuinely feel for you mate, hope you can pick yourself up and take some comfort in knowing that Jess was doing what she loved best and wouldn't of felt a thing, I'm sure she's chasing bunnies in heaven now mate....R I P Jess.

Feel for your mate Penda, can't even imagine how upsetting it would have been for him, lets hope his new dog cheers him up, RIP Fern.

Hi Stabs, hows your dog bred mate, does he/she have much beardie in them?

Sorry to hear your bad news mate, I had a bull cross until june last year, she got bumped by a car, took her to the vets and she seemed fine just a few scrapes, after 2 weeks she was still limping slightly, took her back to the vets and they x-rayed her front leg, they showed me the x-ray, looked like a white orb round her front leg, vet told me it was bone cancer.....couldn't believe it! I had the option to take her leg off or leave it, life expectancy wasn't much different with leg on or off, said she had between 2 to 6 mths, she went to sleep for ever exactly 2mths to the day of being
