  1. That's just a cheap plastic one mate ......
  2. My home until Monday morning ... Lovely ........
  3. Take somebody with you that has some idea about lurchers mate .........
  4. Nice chunky healthy looking pups ......
  5. Not at all she is only 4 months old and this is just the start of her retrieve training ... For now I am happy that she will hunt the cover find and retrieve ... The polishing and fine detail will come later on down the line as she gets older .......only asking as my pup 6 month old and sometimes gives me it sometimes drops it. I play tug but that hasn't changed much I don't think. The main thing is he brings it right to me I suppose. She looks a lively little thing Teach the dog to hold and carry the dummy that way it will be less likely to just drop it at your feet ........
  6. Was it antis giving you stick or other hunters. They were supposed to be hunters ........
  7. Guys I can only just put a post up let alone a step by step guide on how I do things ... I look at every pup/dog differently and tailor their training to the particular animal ... This pup is really quite a serious little thing and to get her to the state of enjoying herself to play with me is a page worth of writing alone before I could even begin to go through the phases I use to get her to want to dive into cover over her head to bring me back a dummy ... I'm not really a writer fellas sorry ........

  9. She was 4 months old in that clip mate ......
  10. Lol I put up a pic of my pup sat next to a roe Buck and rabbits on a Facebook page with the heading ... Do you think I pushed her to hard for her first outing ... Fukc me I was called all the Cnuts going and kicked off the site lol ........
  11. So you think we should be made to live out or lives, sometimes not through choice in those last few weeks of suffering? When did I say that ? That's a completely different topic ... What I said was that somebody in their 60's still has plenty to give and we shouldn't be put to sleep at 70 ........
  12. I'm hardly old fella and I won't know what I've got to give until I reach retirement age ... But I certainly won't be written off by then that's a fact .....
  13. Nothing to give past 60 lol ... You are obviously very young ..... What? In a couple of years you'll be claiming the state pension and doing nothing of any importance.... Lower the retirement age, enjoy life for a few years then move on to the next life... Yep you are definitely young boy .........
  14. That is a cracking box and made perfectly for a hot climate ..........
  15. Nothing to give past 60 lol ... You are obviously very young .....
  16. I can't see any problem in that at all mate ......
  17. Heart is packed with vit b12 which is essential for dogs as a lack of it can cause a few nasty ailments ... I've never heard of any adverse effects from feeding to much heart ... I wouldn't feed it as a main meal as beef chicken etc is a better all round meat in my opinion .........
  18. Agree it's impossible to get the full range of vitamins and minerals from meat and bone alone ........
  19. I've started to work out what makes her tick mate and we are progressing nicely now ... Starting to get a decent bond ........
  20. The danger time for a lurcher after feeding is the first 2 hours ... After that time has passed you can run a dog safely even if it has had a full meal as it will have been broken down enough not to cause gastric torsion ........
  21. Mine get a tin of mackerel and 2 eggs with some cod liver oil at around 16:00 if we are starting lamping around 22:00-00:00.Then they get a good feed on return. If I was feeding that I'd give it at 12 or 1pm if going lamping but that doesn't mean I'm right plus eggs are digested real well arnt they so, I'd prefare tho one or the other the two eggs n some brown bread or rice or the mackerel with the same but that's just me, I always feed a wet meal pre running tho..Yeh everyone is different. I can't see the advantage of swapping the mackerel for brown bread or rice but that's just me. If we al
  22. I decided to move up a phase with clouds training and get her on some retrieving out of light cover ... She is keen and has started using her nose now to find ... In the first video you can see her using her nose to search for the dummy ... I didn't realise how deep the cover was in the second video lol ........ https://youtu.be/KiuqeC4uieY https://youtu.be/wDXXQdORoV0
  23. Lol now that's funny ........
  24. The land of pissflapia ... Lol .......
