  1. Dogs are both predator and prey, the prey element in a dog is the fear point , the predator is the calm eager conifident pushy forcefull side,Most of the quirks in the dogs character are caused by a fear imprint at some stage in its development , the predator side just needs to be channeled Working with a tug item Skyccat stylie is exercising the predator up close and personal, two predators alining around a prey item yourself and the mutt, it's how wolves form social bonds same principle, it's also the final point of the hunt , the killing action, all the tension resolved into the grab and s
  2. Go out on your own, much much much better. Don't see the need to go anywhere mob handed with dogs, especially given todays political climate and policing of known hot areas. Don't like it myself, but alot of people are practically asking for trouble
  3. Yeah guy int pub said its only if you feed it as mane meal does guy in pup serve redRUM He isn't the bar keep but yes they do, asking as you got a pony tail I think the guy in pup went to the wrong bar!
  4. Don't think too many people are going to see hares at their very best these days. As bosun said, the waterloo cup is over

  8. Not telling you what to do, but the 1st thing for me would be get the pup on it's own, no other dogs, however well trained they are. Secondly, wouldn't do retrieve training everyday, two or three retrieves, two or three times a week I find works very well. Same with all training I do with pups, only a couple of easy fun tasks at a time, overdoing any aspect of it is a quick way to bore your pup and set yourself up for problems. Just the way I do it, others will do it differently, cracking pup by the way
  9. I agree with what casso has said, also neutering doesn't always work anyway. Not a lurcher, but many years ago my father had a yorkie x russell that would regularly launch himself at any dog, big or small, and wander for miles after bitches in heat after escaping from the garden. Had him neutered, and even 3 years later he was still attacking dogs and was hit by cars twice on roads after escaping from garden again. And just to add, the garden was secure, f**k knows how or where he got out from, and my father isn't the sort of guy to neglect socialising etc. Also just seen fuji's reply, agre
  10. At last someone with my way of thinking 2,600 views,over 120 replies and you,ve finally found a reason to breed from the mutt,well done,don,t take up chess. And don't start breeding kc/show bred dandie dinmonts for working........... kin el, I need a walk!
  11. You need to get closer on lamp, practically step on the fecker if you can lol hit em with a catty first 3/3 on any land Lamping's fine, catty's unsporting!
  12. Well if it's part of your landscape and it aint doing it, why are you even contemplating taking it on? Think you've just answered your own question Read my first post so if I bred from the dog are you telling me it will effect the pups in the long run??? My mistake, thought you were thinking of buying the dog

  14. Sounds like a dog I'd steer well clear of, despite how game it might appear. Easier and better to get a pup in that you can bring on yourself properly. You'll know then exactly how it's been raised, trained etc etc

  16. gladys my neighbour, says yes
  17. No, although the judge is appointed by the KC they have no control over how they judge dogs. All show dogs must conform to the breed standard but the breed standard leaves a lot of scope for interpretation within the standard. It is the judges that decide what dogs look like. TC
  18. If it's the kc that appoints these judges, then these judges certainly aint judging to the laid down standard and should be kicked right up the arse and thrown out for helping to ruin what were once perfectly usable breeds, and new judges appointed that will judge correctly. So it is, in effect, the kc which is responsible for the dross you see at kc shows, not just breeders?
  19. I'm with socks and the others on this, can you honestly tell me that a kc/show bred dandie or sealyham could do the job of same breeds bred for work by people not after money/fame?Same with staffs, bulldogs, gundogs, deerhounds, most working breeds in fact. Yes it's breeders breeding, but to kc standards, which are ruining most breeds of dog. All gundogs have to be KC registered to take part in a field trial. Spaniels, retrievers, hpr's, pointers and setters all do the job they were bred for yet are KC registered . A working bred springer spaniel is totally different, looks and mental attit
  20. The ones I've seen working certainly served/serve a purpose, parents worked or not
