an old bloke that comes to our work place goes to Scotland shooting them every year and he says there back to there normal numbers the following year .
not my thing but each to there own.
he has about the same on that pic as well ..
how do you get on with the horse meat gaz ,? I tried it years ago and it went straight threw the dogs as in did you have any problems to start with..
And I mean I fed for a few weeks too ...
we used to get loads of beef too from my mate who worked at the local foxhunt I would go and help him skinning and I would get whatever I could carry home with me lol
dogs look good anyway so I assume its doing the job .
I think if you look at them as an extra way of helping you get the dog in the condition you require and don't look at them as the be all and end all then they have there uses imo.
not that I have much experience of them so I could be wrong .
