    As above has anyone had any experience with this in dogs cheers

    From a humans perspective my mate has had  it for a few years now he has GOT to be strict with his medication and a number of times he has ended up in hospital and needed an injection to keep him alive.So to me  i would have the dog PTS let the breeder know whats in their line and dont be persuaded by vets medication wise more so if theres insuance involved they want to make money.atb.

    Sadly over the last week or two there’s been a great decline in birds visiting the feeders including the robin who use to visit the veg patch , can only think that avian flu has struck ☹️

    Sadly  i have not seen any Kingfishers on  the near river to me,on my walk i know of 4 nesting sites on the river bank one at least 8yrs old.Black headed gulls and Canada geese dead near me  also on the news loads of dead birds being washed up on different coasts maybe wind turbines to blame  with birds flying into them,so sad oh adult hedgehog in our garden first one for many years .

    Thank you for everyone’s help ? I think this must be the only thread that hasn’t turned noncy or throwing abuse at one another ?

    cheers lads I’ll post what the vet says Friday 

    Looking at both the toes to me it does not look good at all i hope its not ligament damage at the back of the first joints if thats the case(which i think it is) its  not good,If the vet is any good he will tell you straight as regards  the out come,atvb

    Hes beddy/whippet collie/grehound x beddy/whippet/grey. 3
     

    Good ferreting dog work any cover, imagine hed do well in the fells he tireless hunts up even if little about. But hes no runner, turns like a bus hes a lot heavier/stronger than he looks. Disappointed me on the lamp & hes a coward spat a cub out the other day caught by accident. So all in all a mixed bag and frustrates the hell out of me. Hes wifes best mate though so he's here for good and as a character I like him. Do more ferreting and day time mooching so cant complain really. Think hes chucked to the dam and collie maybe, I know the dad was good fox dog. Wanted him for a bit of everything but not to be, but was always rabbiting in mind when got him. 
     

    As for the terrier hes ace ? 

    Gaza he should be able to do a tight turn especially with the colly in him i would have him checked out by a canine physio if he carnt do reds then to me hes no coward as yet not up to it,atb My hounds

  5. Same scenarios where i live Bird i have been on both sides my Deerhound pup(sadly not with me now) would bound up to other dogs to play "but" on each occasion i was caught out "and" each time i attempted to get the dog under control and on the lead and apologise plus yes i have shouted the classic line "he only wants to play",also had it with cyclists not letting me know they are coming.The Deerhound pup i have just got no scenarios as yet but they will come but what gets me i will apologise etc to other dog owners but when other twats dogs do the same and  are a bit aggressive blank faces and  no sorry nothing untill i mention i will kick their dog if it comes at mine again.At 63 over the years i have come across all breeds and as we all know the amount of dog owners now has well increased but only a few are willing to learn so to speak,also now  near me more dogs are in rescue or with dog walkers/trainers with dogs suffering from separation anxiety.Atb

    No price mate. If anyones daft enough to pay 950 they got to much money, you can get a proper working bred pup for 200 ish

    I  am getting a male pup from Jackie but by all means   if you can let me know of a Deerhound /greyhound based pup no other breed for £200 ish then let me know,atb My hounds

    I’ve heard that some people call him 6 week meek ? did he recommend your dog has 6 weeks rest by any chance 

    By eck he is known near me as 1 week Meek (rubbish) as mentioned the people i use  charge £40 for a full hour working on my dog from nose to tail unless i  mention a specific area.
