  1. Lovely shot Byron, very smart!! which lens?
  2. For those interested. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10...tured-film.html
  3. I wanted a black and tan one, only a few in the country at the time, however they had a buck which they didnt want to keep as they had too many, I paid a WHOPPING £15!!!!!
  4. Great shots especially given the conditions. I managed to bugger one of my lenses up the other day. Have ordered a Sigma f/2.8 70-200mm one, hope its as good as the reviews!
  5. I have a Belgian, i got him from Burton Upon Trent, from the secretary of the Belgian hare club. Mrs D. Massey, Tel: 01283-701188
  6. A Leopard Gecko here, not that exotic though!
  7. EXCELLENT!!!! How are those holes coming on? I reccommend : http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/IntraSite-Gel-1...info/INTRASITE/ Its excellent for new tissue regrowth.
  8. Well done to you for getting him back. Im not a Vet, but to me he doesnt seem ill, just completely malnourished and quite depressed. If he is eating better, drinking, is NOT being sick and his motions are ok, Id keep doing as you are doing. Id also be tempted to substitute the rice for Pasta. Give Tuna, Sardines and Pilchards in tomato sauce, plus anything else he will eat, but as you are doing, little and often.
  9. LOADS in Woburn Safari Park, breed like Rabbits! I took this one, there are all black one and these two tone ones aswell as greys.
  10. Its a Shar-Pei. Nice shots there, enjoyed looking at them. Dawn.
  11. Think he deserves his retirement now, he's done you proud, what a super dog!
  12. THANK YOU Dicka! ive been looking for a plain stitched 3/4 inch collar for my Border for weeks, they have exactly what I want!
  13. The program has instilled fear into pet owners, just as the media did to Rottweiler and Pit Bull/Staff owners, if you think I am lying, please check out the relevant breed rescues and national welfare organisations taking in these dogs. Yes but that goes for ALL breeders surely? How many on here breed staffs and the like? NO health screening at all, yet Staffs are affected with a lot of diseases, its always the same, if I dont see it, mine dont have it! DNA profiling, hip scoring and health tests ARE displayed on pedigrees, they are also displayed on KC registration certificates, have
  14. The reason the diseases were not around is because the dogs nor the verterinary science to recognise them wasnt either. Progress in the latter field has enabled much research and help into these diseases. The KC fund an awful lot of research, in fact a HUGE amount (ongoing) into diseases like the Cavaliers had, the program just "slightly" touched on that but didnt elaborate or give the full facts did they? What about CLAD in Irish Setters? KC funding has ERADICATED this disease totally from the breed, didnt mention that either!! They just wanted to cause a stink and they have, unfort
  15. I said MOST, not all Dawn, don't get all defensive.... Nope Im not being defensive I just asked you a question. Im putting forward a differing view, one I see as fitting to the thread. Point taken. no probs. Thats an interesting statement Nastki, dont you think thats exactly what Lurcher and Terrier people do? Yet they frequently cross litter brother and sister, mother to son and father to daughter, and often comment that things like retained testicles and undershot jaws dont matter, how is that ok? The genetisist clearly said that in a couple generations such clos

  17. Really? Like Cavaliers etc... you mean? They arent bred harshly are they? Im not sure I understand what you mean? if you dont breed dogs to a standard then you might aswell have a bunch of mongrels, because in time all dogs will be the same. Lurcher people are no different. Dont want a big dog, want a bigger head, want a faster pace, want a harsher coat...... see where I am going? just because there is no standard, doesnt mean Lurcher people are not specifically breeding for certain traits to produce a specific dog. Just because these animals work doesnt make it any better than
  18. Spina bifida doesnt make a Ridgeback a Ridgeback either. The program FAILED to mention that dermoid sinus is NOT confined to Ridgebacks and does NOT only occur in the ridge, but it does often occur on a dogs back which is where the ridge is! retained testicles are inherited genetic defects, and there are people on here that have used dogs of that condition at stud. You are correct that a retained testicle can be removed however plenty dont do this and a strangulated testicle can happen in a flash and a dog can die very quickly from it. Toy Dogs? Their main purpose was to be a pet,
  19. She is an absolute disgrace! I cant see her poking round many shows from now on though, I know there are a fair few after answers from her!
  20. Absolutely Neil yes. A retained testicle can become strangulated and the dog will be in agony, it can be sporadic and spontaneous and is often mistaked for pancreatitis. Undershot mouthes cause distress to dog in severe circumstances, they can be so they are unable to eat, and the front bottom jaw is suseptible to more damage because of its protrusion. Perfect conformation? Not me, but a dog that fits the standard well in both type and temperament. Dawn. I meant to say I havent bred a litter, but I do show dogs.
