Gem, i just had a look at that barf fb page, although i didn't have a look at it all, i have never seen as many uneducated comments about barf diet, very misleading and alot of typical pet owner comments that think they know it all.
Cheers tom, i have seen both the sire and dam to my bitch working, the sire was whippet greyhound with a bit of collie and dam was whippet greyhound with a touch of deerhound. She is 22tts.
yep no point keeping a dog if it doesn't suit your style of hunting, it will only start to become a chore when taking it out and imo you will never bond with it, as long as you were truthful when selling/passing it on and the other lad is happy enough.
I did tighten up the brass screw a wee bit to tight one day and it snapped, as for being waterproof, mine has been out in all weathers that the west of Ireland can throw at you and not had a problem yet
