Goats milk is better for dogs than cows milk mate, They digest it easier sorry bud i never specified which milk but i use the 1% fat stuff i dont even know if any shops near me sell goats milk i've never seen it in them but mind you i wasnt really looking ANY FARMING SUPPLIERS THAT SELLS BAGS OF POWDERED CALFS MILK WILL SELL GOATS MILK ALSO. HOWEVER GOATS MILK IS MORE EXPENSIVE AS IT CONTAINS BETTER NUTRITION PER WEIGHT THAN CALFS MILK DOES. I ONLY USED IT WHEN WEANING PUPS ON TO A MORE SOLID DIET AROUND 3WKS OLD , BOTH GOATS & CALFS MILK HAD A LOVELY SWEET SMELL WHEN MIXED W

SHE`S LONG GONE MY FRIEND, AS IS BLONDIE. DANCER WAS A DOG MATE .ALWAYS REMEMBER WATCHING A DAYS COURSING ON THE FENS WITH BOLIO.

MY TYPE OF DOG WITH A GOOD GEARBOX WAS DANCER

I HAVE A LOT OF TIME FOR GINGER FRENCH OR LEN AS WE CALLED HIM. I SAW TERMINATOR & ALSO HIS BULL SIRE WHEN HE LIVED IN LAMPETER IN MID WALES. LEN IS A CHARACTER, THE GAME NEEDS CHARACTERS, BUT YOU COULDNT PUT YOUR MORTGAGE ON MUCH OF WHAT HE SAID. TERMINATOR TO ME LOOKED UNMARKED FOR THE GAME HE PARTICIPATED IN & THE. IMPRESSION I GOT WAS LEN SIMPLY USED HIM AS A STUD DOG. WHETHER HIS LINE THREW DECENT DOG`S I DONT KNOW & MAY WELL HAVE DONE. COURSED WITH HIM A FEW TIMES IN THE COMPANY OF GARY LEE & OGGY & AS IVE SAID THE GAME NEEDS CHARACTERS & LEN WAS GREAT COMPANY.

ANY WORKING DOG REQUIRES DECENT FOOD. ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER WHEN ENERGY REQUIREMENTS THROUGH RUNNING & BODY HEAT WITH THE COLD PUT MORE STRAIN ON YOUR DOG. HOWEVER MOST DOGS AS WITH PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT. WHAT MAKES 1 DOG FAT MAY KEEP ANOTHER THIN. IVE SEEN FEN DOGS RAN ON A NORMAL COMPLETE MEAL RUN WELL & OTHER DOGS THAT NEEDED A BETTER DIET TO MAINTAIN THEMSELVES. HOWEVER SCIENTIFIC YOU BECOME ON YOUR DOGS DIET THERE IS AN OLD SAYING "you cant put in what God has left out" & YOU CANT MAKE A POOR DOG IN TO A GOOD ONE IF THE ABILITY SIMPLY ISNT THERE

OVER THE YEARS THE GROWTH OF RACING GREYHOUNDS & THE DECLINE OF COURSING MEANT STAMINA WAS A SECONDARY REQUIREMENT TO SPEED. I HAVE KNOWN GREYHOUNDS REARED AS LURCHERS & GIVEN MORE OF A FREE REIGN AS PUPS DEVELOP BETTER STAMINA & BECOME USEFULL WORKING DOGS. HOWEVER THESE WERE THE EXCEPTION RATHER THAN THE NORM SADLY

YES I DID KNOW HIM QUITE WELL. SADLY MY OPINION OF HIM WASNT THE BEST.HOWEVER BEST LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE ON THAT SCORE. I WAS CONTACTED BY A FORUM MEMBER ASKING ME FOR PHOTO`S & INFO ON HIS LURCHERS ETC. THATS WHY I PRINTED THESE PICTURES AS I SAID I WOULD DO.
