Interesting about the red dogs there mate....I've only had one and he was a head banger from the word go. I don't know why, but I always had a feeling there was a touch too much show blood in there. Quick to offend but no brains...a fighter rather than a boxer.

Max.....I've been to the same places on those pics. Got in a fight with some Japs in Kanchanaburi halfway across the bridge cos' they were laughing. Breaks your heart seeing how those boys lived. Did you stay with the Karen for those elephant rides?

True Kiwi. My mates in Qld reckon it's often the pigs around 70-80kg that do more damage rather than the bigger ones. This one we caught out in the Blue Mountains and as you can see it ain't big at all but it really had some impressive ivory! So much so that the bottom jaw came with us. None of us had seen tusks like these ones, they were like spear heads! This was a squirmy bugger too and tried to give the dogs a flogging once he realised he couldn't outrun the dogs, but he had no hope

Personally I never feed cooked meat for my lurchers at all so I would only advocate raw. I can tell you what I feed although endurance in terms of length of run for say a fen dog, has never been a concern of mine. My dogs are out for long stretches with me so that's the only endurance I require. I feed mostly whole chicken carcasses, lamb ribs, beef skirt, tripe, pigs heads and lamb spines. These are all supplemented with left overs from the butchers such as old cuts of steak, raw sausages, mince, trotters, pigs tails, ears etc etc and I don't pay a penny for it. I think chicken ca

Cheers Andy.. As a feed on it's own, raw or cooked is shite, but as you say, as a base it can be a very useful feed. All the best

If it's going ok for you Andy, then fair play If you look at the stats, cooked tripe comes in a poor second Cooked Tripe Fat 2% Calcium 2% Iron 1% Protein 3g Raw Tripe Fat 6% Calcium 8% Iron 4% Protein 14g All based on a 4oz serving Calories per 1oz serving Cooked 26.6 Raw 96.1

I always feed raw tripe. Cooked tripe is as much use as feeding wet carboard

Burnie was right with the percentages Rabbithunter....you're dog is: 1/2 Greyhound 1/4 Bull 1/8 Collie 1/8 Whippet Look at it this way.... Dam = 1/2 Bull 1/2 Greyhound Sire = 1/4 Collie 1/4 whippet 1/2 Greyhound Multipy everything x 2 so you have 2/4 Bull 2/4 Greyhound 2/8 Collie 2/8 whippet 2/4 Greyhound Now just divide the top numbers only, by 2 So you have 1/4 Bull 1/4 Greyhound 1/8 Collie 1/8 whippet 1/4 Greyhound The greyhound appears twice so add them up to give you 1/2 So you are left with 1/2 Greyhound 1/4 Bull 1/8 Collie 1

You might be struggling if your ESS is gun shy mate. My black dog wasn' gun shy as such, but she really didn't like the shotty going off to begin with. I just worked at her all the time and played on the positive associations of the shotgun with game. In the end she started cartwheeling when I was picking the gun up as she that this meant she was going out working.

I owned a 20" lurcher that would smash any fox...it's not size that's the issue when you get to those sorts of heights. It's build, ability, desire and balls

Kane, it seems that the women involved was actually in charge of the dog as she was looking after it for someone else. Bloody tragic really. I wonder if the dog had exhibited tendencies like this before? If so then I agree, the owner should be brought into question. In regards to the journalism, I'm just sick of the laziness that surrounds the tabloids when it comes to dog attacks and "pits." As an owner of bulls, I just hate seeing any dog described as such when they aren't. My bird's mam saw what dogs I have and you could see her recoil as all she has is the media image of what they are

In the Mirror today they are calling it a "raging pit bull" and in the same article call it a "three foot tall pit-bull mastiff cross" Lazy f*****g journalism at its best

that a people aggressive dog isn't specific to a particular breed/breeds..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/5038304.stm Sincerest best wishes to the ladies involved

Like the look of the Patt and the Russell type. The latter looks similar to the bull russells my local pikies used to use. Yours might be a bit more up on the leg though.

To be honest Patje, I'd forget about the books. I've bought nearly every dog book going and not one of them was as good as asking people off here and smoochers what the craic is. I've spoken to a lot of good lads in regards to training and the advice I got off Chalkwarren, BD Roughcoat, Panhandle, Cupid Stunt, Socks etc etc was worth way more than any book you could mention. I owe those lads and many others a great deal when it comes to lurcher training

I sold my Rally 200 a few years back when I hard up....wish I still had it. It was done as an Eddie Grimstead Hurricane - maroon over white (I know he never did Rally's . Took me years doing that one up. Lovely bike it was too....plenty of grunt

I always fancied an ochre one....saw one for sale at Yarmouth 91 for £2,000 but that was an Innocenti one and not an Indian.

Sounds just like a typical youngster mate. Mine used to do that until she twigged what the lamp was for
