I never visited Abbotts, mine came by rail, at the time I'd never seen greyhounds, I just took a chance . when I opened the box I was stunned, I'd had ferrets since the age of 8 and I'd never seen anything like these. As I said before, my whole stock of 40 were stolen. Romany you must've been gutted mate,that must've knocked you back a bit.I now take animal thievery very seriously and i have taken extra precautions since i had dogs stolen,it will never happen again,did you retsock or did it take a while before you did restock again? Higgins. I was gutted mate, I've also had dogs st

Thanks pal,it's something that always needed to be done but you just never get around to it,the reason for moving is also to do with keeping them in the shade as well as segregating the animals from the rest of the garden Higgins.

higgins replied to nuts's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Feel for you pal,wouldn't like it myself,if fits are too frequent it would be better pts,but if you don't work him then medication can controlit if you want to keep the dog for kids,atb, Higgins -
Earthdogs with Bull blood
higgins replied to Black Dog Enthusiast's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Bull blood should only be used in a breeding programme to improve a line in respect to produce stronger heads then go back to the original line,as i see it they were used to improve weakness of sorts,not to add aggression,they shbould be used minimally, Higgins. -
advice or views needed dog tackin fits
higgins replied to nuts's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Here's a quick link for you,mentions a few possible causes fits in dogs, Higgins -
I have seen a few of these greyhound type ferrets,some were indeed stoat sized and so slim that you could slip them through your thumb and first finger circled around them.i have kept a stoat so i'm not exxagerating here,and my present jills are slim at the monent but i still couldn't fit them through thumb and forefinger.I well remember the famous Abbott bros advert regularly appearing in the Exchange and Mart in the 70's and early 's,what became of them and does anyone have any pics of their visit to their premises.I do believe there was probably only a few individuals that could have had

higgins replied to nuts's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
this is a long shot but is there any border terrier in his breeding,it's just something to rule out as it could be hereditary,atb, Higgins. -
You have to keep running your hands over the dogs and feel any bumps,that's the best way as you can't see them on rough/long haired dogs,atb, Higgins yes im on 24hour tick patrol haha! i hate the wee buggers, often though the dogs get them near at least once a week, but great post mate, thanks nicole. Thanks Nicole,prevention is better than cure so i think that stuff called frontline has been mentioned on here a few times, is probably a better solution,it lasts for a good while,maybe other members on here can tell us how good it is,then you may not have to keep checking so frequentl
