    I think that is an unfair sweeping statement to make. Cross breed dogs can be worth a lot to the folks who own them, only they are in a position to name their worth. Who is to say the lab x GSD did not make a good guard or the lab x springer a good gundog or the lab x collie a good mountain rescue dog or indeed all the other mutts who are REAL WORKING DOGS in that they really do something useful like being trained as hearing dogs for deaf people? I agree there is no need to pay big money for a dog, whether it be a cross breed or indeed a pedigree riddled with health problems. But it

    Bet he smells of boiled cabbage.

    Would you have another full whippet or a different type if you were in a position to get another dog?
  4. littlefish
    Can you produce any fact based evidence to back up that statement?

    So if the whippet x terrier turned up measuring 13" at the shoulder with a 2' long tail - what race would it run in...........terrier............whippet .........or non-ped whippet?

    Question for Albert and other show organisers. Would you consider putting on a race for greyhounds at the shows? That way, people with greyhounds could give them a spin up the track against their own type? This could include people who use them for hunting, breeding, racing at shows, retired and rescue pet dogs and ones who never made the grade for the track for whatever reason? Also -perhaps any disputed' lurchers' (99% greyhound) could join them, rather than run against the lurchers? I realise this could perhaps involve more work but it could perhaps be a solution to the problem?

    The vet is running a business - sounds like they were giving you a realistic picture regarding possible costs - allowing you to make a decision on how you wished to proceed, bearing in mind that the bill was likely to be high and the dog was not insured. Hope you got it sorted ok.

    The Malinois seems to be a 'serious' kind of dog. I wonder if they are a healthier type than many of the GSDs?

    ive never heard that before or believe it 50/50 in my opinion if you put a beddy dog on a whippet bitch its 1/4 beddy 3/4 whippet was big into greyhounds few years back always looked at the bitch first if i was getting a pup thats why i said id see other opinions Can you put a link up showing showing some evidence based scientific reports to prove this? Surely this breeding would be 50/50/ half cross?

    A Marks & Spencer bag perhaps..............?

    You could do some voluntary work - like helping local old people with their gardens, odd jobs etc.................they might be grateful and remember you in their will.......?

    Charm them away by rubbing them with a potato cut in half................then bury the potato! Other than that,stay healthy and wait til they go away.
  13. littlefish
    So are you hoping to breed them or avoid breeding them?
  14. littlefish
    A couple of weeks good care and grub and that bitch will look so much happier. Good on you for getting her sorted

    Frontline is sold in doses calibrated for use on dogs. The other is for much bigger animals......cattle, sheep and pigs. I wouldn't take the risk with my dogs. I would pay the bit extra so there is less chance of a disaster due to wrong dosage..
  16. littlefish
    Yes, it does indeed.................now imagine if it got really, really fu*ked off and laid into the pup through frustration, pain or whatever.......the pup has no way of escape and is likely to get a severe pasting! So the adult dog has had its temper ruined, the pup is wrecked and all for what? Stupid idea.

    america is a big place to generalise. some places you cant walk through without getting shot or threatened by gangs. I was in San Francisco in January and it was definitely mixed up, one street can look really smart with gucci shops etc, go on street down and it is crawling with smackheads screaming at the walls. I got a bit lost looking for my colleagues at an 'Irish bar' and ended up walking about at night on my todd, I am not exactly danger mouse so I didn't feel particularly safe. It wasn't so much I thought I was going to be mugged by a scary gang man, it was just how crazy the hoard

    I have relatives in England who I visit several times per year...............but always glad to get home again.

    Decision made today after meeting with organising club - ONLY KC REGISTERED WHIPPETS ALLOWED TO RUN AS WHIPPETS. AND OBJECTIONS MUST BE MADE TO ANY DOG AT THE TIME OF THE RACE NOT ON FORUMS AFTER IT. Do KC papers have to be shown at time of entry?

    Plywood is used for the high jump,it will start at 4ft then the height will rise by 1ft,2ft or even 3ft boards,this rise depending on the size of Lurcher and when it gets to a certain height 6 inch boards can be used to finalise the maximum jump height. Is it like a solid flat wall and a straight drop to the ground on the far side? Any pictures?
  21. littlefish
    In the jumping competition, what is it they jump over?

    I think it is a sad reflection on white British society that these vulnerable kids are not given better supervision and moral guidance from their families. Decent people should be aware of where their kids are, who they are with and what they are up to. Sadly not all children have this in their lives.

    Flash, This is a difficult one. It must be disappointing to prepare your dog only to have its chance ruined by another dog. As you know this happens in greyhound racing and there is no re run. But you have another chance at very good prizes in our 'Golden' 50th Fair at Shanes Castle on the 7th & 8th July. Albertj ALBERT WHY CANT YOU MAKE A LIST OF THESE DOGS AND REFUSE THEM ENTRY, MY YOUNG BITCH HAS TO GO TO THE VETS THIS MORNING ONE OF THEM FIGHTING GREYHOUND FROM THE SOUTH NEAR KILLED,ATTACKED HER BOWLED HER OVER, WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING BRILLANT AND ONE OF THE FEW CHASING

    I love lentil soup.............made with a ham bone, of course!

    Blinkers - is this something new? Surely if dogs haven't the temperament to be run in company, they could be considered a danger to others and should stay out of the race altogether? All dogs were muzzled I hope?
