no need for the dogs to get out of condition just because its the summer time mate ...........
-
LOL ditch it dont stop them rolling in shit it stops them eating it ..... its primary use as you have said is to cool the blood in hot weather ..............
-
yep you are spot on ... the simple explination is as follows ..... complete meal and meat whether cooked or raw digests in the gut at different times thus making the dog work twice as hard to absoarb any goodness from the meal as the body is sending extra blood to help break down the food rather than sending what it has allready broken down from the meat around the body .... and there is the risk of gastric torsion ..... however i suppose whiteys ''expert'' will have explained all this to him ...........

My dog is under a pet nutritionist from trophy pet foods and he is registered as Ryfud his reg number is 117 if you would like to check it up! Educate me get a grip son PALLY! PALLY! says it al .... you crack on with your ''expert'' from the death in a sack company ..........

SOCK You are not making much sense now! Its you who needs to get off your high horse not me. Theres people like you on this forum who stop people from wanting to reply to posts on the forum! If you look back at what I said you will see that I mentioned I only started feeding my dog on raw meat when he was 2 and half years old! I wasnt just mince it was kidney liver and heart out of all variety of animals. Now if I fed my dog raw meat from the beginning (as I said in my previous post) it might have never even have happened! You'll be telling people on here next that dogs don't eat cows shit!

it is an urban myth that has been doing the rounds for years and needs to be nipped in the bud before any more young gullable lads believe the nonsence and stop feeding their dogs on a perfectly natural and nutritiouse meal ....... STEVEBENO i say it as it is i dont fluff things up i call a spade a spade and they way people get the message ....... WHITEYrs4 i have forgotten more about nutrition and hunting than you will ever learn so climb down of your high horse and try and learn something ...........

i will be there going down on saturday afternoon and camping overnight (a must ) ... as has been said sunday for terriers and lurchers .........
-
what a utter load of nonsence ... why in the hell would a dog equate eating a bowl of raw mince to eating game he has caught ..... this is nothing more than a silly little story that raises its head every now and again spouted by people who know nothing about feeding raw meat to dogs .........
-
i was always under the impression that it was to mask scent ... there is also a school of thopught taht rolling on a carcas is to let the rest of the pack know taht they have found something ??? DITCH if you want the dogs to stop eating shit then put some rock sulpher in their water bowls and they will stop in a week .............

Not at all. Someone makes a statement or posts a link, I think it's reasonable to assume they know about what they're posting. i do know about what i am posting i just have no inclination and quite frankly cant be bothered to try and educate somebody like you .... no matter how much conclusive proof i put in front of you, you will find one word out of the whole post to try and dispute the obviouse facts ... to be honest i dont really care what you think ... you keep breeding off your show shit overweight ferrets and i will breed off my lean fit working stock and never the twain shall m

i honestly give up with people like you ...........

not so silly that 2 seconds googling produced this ... read towards the bottom ........ http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/...40521072934.htm

There isn't a 'hunting gene' any more than there's a 'rugby playing' gene or a 'bullshitting' gene in humans..... you really are a silly little pet owner arnt you ..........

if you can produce ferrets that attack on site you should go into bussiness selling them as guards LOL .............
-
there is only one way to breed a worker and that is to breed worker to worker so that you keep the hunting gene and other diserable traits so as to pass on to the kits you are breeding ... lets look at it this way ... do you see top class racing greyhound trainers attenting crufts so that they can secure a stud off the top greyhound there or do you see them queing in their droves at the door of the greyhound derby champion .... there is a reason for this which is quite obviously that the race greyhound has the traits needed to produce top class offspring and the show type doesnt ... it would b

if you have bred from a line of proven workers that go back at least 3 -5 generations then chances are they will all be good workers and if you do cull at birth you will never know if they were shit or brilliant and you will get on with what you have ....... but as i stated you may bang all the goodun's keep all the shite come ferreting season your left with the wankers now what do you do? and as i stated if the parents were proven workers from proven stock then there is a 99.9% chance thet the youngsters will grow in to good workers unless for some reason the hunting gene skipped t
-
I understand your need to replace aging stock, but did you 'need' to breed two jills? I also accept your point about culling early. And remember: just cos you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you yes i did as i will be keeping jills from one litter and hobs from the other which will amke them half brother and sister so that in the future when i need to breed again i will put half brother over half sisiter thus keeping the line going .......

where have said i was refering to YOU ? your a little paranoid there mate .... i dont need to read all the posts to get the jist of the arguement its as plain as the nose on my face ..... i understand where you are coming from with preventative measures etc .... BUT i needed to breed 2 jills this year as they coming up to 6 ish and therefore dont have many seasons left in them and so i need young fresh blood to take over hence the reason for breeding them this year .... i am breeding purely for myself and the lads that i hunt for BUT what if i end up with to many kits am i supposed to

this is what happens when non hunting types are allowed on the internet ... i havnt read all the pages i didnt have to i can get the jist of the thread from this page alone .... this namby pamby cotton wool sentimentality has no place on a hunting site and neither dot he type of people that condone it ... go and find yourself a fluffy little site where you can dress up your ferrets feed them on dry shit and watch them die of obesety and and a hiost of other weaknesses that your type will inflict on them ... as for culling well its a fact of life that it has to happen ... there is no point

meat meat and more meat .................

max if the EXACT SAME scenario happened again i would do EXACTLY as i did and carry on running the bitch ... as simon gower the vet told me what she had would have happened whether i ran her that day or not ... you have to take each spill as they come and gauge your dog after every one ... i have had dogs that have turned on a rabbit in the wet and have only slid the along the wet grass but i have stopped hunting that day because they were not right in my eyes and as i said earlyer with tegans bang she hit that stump fair hard but she was ok to carry on hunting .... each dog is different and s
-
listen fella i have been keeping running dogs for 30 odd years and i think i know a little about them ... if i thought that bitch was seriously hurt or was hurt enough to warrant packing up for the day then i would have .... after bringing that bitch on from a pup and spending hundereds of hours on her training and conditioning and carefully preparing her meals so that she has the best of everything and all the trials and tribulations we have been through together do you honestly think that if i thpought she was that badly injured i would have risked all that on a poxy rabbit ??? as i said you
