I’ve found The best thing for pups is variety, you won’t make a small type dog big but you can definitely get more out of it if given the right ingredients. Where I’ve noticed most people go wrong with pups is giving them a diet of pretty much all raw meat because they think protein is all they need, that’s when legs start to bend go soft because there is no calcium going in. Raw protein is important but certainly not just that, I always add bone builder/ calcium powder in with all raw. A mix of good puppy kibble, tripe, fish, cooked chicken(no bones) full fat milk even a mix of tinned dog mea

Looking forward to them, it’s been a while since anything for dog lads has been out, the last being his lamping book. It’s clear to see there has been many days/nights and miles out in to get those pics.

Red mills racer 20% protein along with raw beef and tripe,I think if feeding them a lot of raw meat ect then there’s not really a need for high protein kibble.

240 blitz or tracer 210 without a doubt, heard they are really hard to get now though. I’ve a tracer 170 aswell not quite as bright as the above but a great alround lamp

Hard going trying to get a pup from proper breeding now, most of what you see being advertised is scatter bred shite that’s never seen a decent shift in there life’s

What’s the fox populations like in everybody’s areas this year, seems to get less and less every year around here, the thermal/night vision combination with rife is definitely the culprit.

For running dog injury’s that don’t require X-rays/operations ect I wouldn’t bother going a vet either as they will just take money from you for what they can and most don’t know the first thing abt running dogs. I’ve a good one by me that’s retired that was into greyhound racing so he knows the script but otherwise would go to a recommended boneman all day long

Most broken toes heal well enough themselves unless they are proper twisted ect. Give dog plenty rest more than anything, you will then see it starting to Callus up going hard round the break. Would only get it taken off if it doesn’t set properly and is effecting the dogs running.

Had dog to boneman today, shoulder was out of alignment which he put back in. Also back and hip was out slightly. He’s still sore but hopefully see the difference in the next couple weeks after being rested. cheers

It’s a retired vet I go to that lives local just does it still for a bit cash , sorts all dog lads out round here. had greyhounds years aswell so he knows a bit. Will see him first then go to boneman as there’s not one near me. Cheers

Yeah will try my local vet first then Boneman if needed. Already been giving him metacam

Yep got an appointment booked mate

My young dog took a tumble catching a rabbit yesterday and didn’t get back up, when I was walking over he tried to get up and when putting weight on his front right he kept falling over/face planting the ground there was no noise from him screaming ect. Carried him back to the car, then when I got back home I done all the usual checks and couldn’t pin point anything.he now is going about alright putting weight on it just dipping. Seems down though and not his usual self, heard the odd noise when he’s getting up from bed, seems to be quite a lot of tension in his neck. Anybody seen anything

yeah had heard that, Sad way for it to end. What age would he have been?

Anybody know what Happened to pie? Heard he never came back after a run and was never found. Not sure if that is true though
