    Dear Weasle, You don't understand Skycat

    It's great to see this thread: following the progress of a litter. They do look like very handy dogs and nowhere near as heavy as I thought they might: do you reckon the Wheaton has lightened them up a bit?

    So true Noisey! And I shall put up some pics of my Airedale working: those that I can put up that is! I meant to take her out beating on the shoot last year but I got EColi in my bloodstream and missed most of the shooting season Her attitude to feathered game is totally different to fur: but she's soft mouthed on the rabbits she catches: and no, she's not fast enough to catch a running adult rabbit, but she's had a few young ones and adults she's goal keepered when they've been running at her: usually after a lurcher has turned them and she's coming up behind LOL. Feather she point

    Dogs fed on complete manufactured food shit turds that don't decompose or disintegrate like they should: they reckone its something to do with all the preservatives and additives in it as well as the fact that its been pasturised at very high temperatures. Dogs fed entirely on natural raw food do turds which degrade very quickly and go back to an odourless earth state within weeks: but I still wouldn't put them on my veggie patch.-

    The reason I've put this up on the forum is that I've lost some bits of paper with peoples contact details on them! For those people who are seriously interested in getting one of these dogs: you already know the details: for the person who made a reference to ebay and buy one get one free......... you have NO idea what you are talking about. Anyone who knows the breeder knows the truth and I'm not about to give full and private details on an open forum about how, when or why these pups are to be bred and sent out to their new owners. People often say they are interested in getting such

    Edited to add: this won't now take place as the import cost for the guys in Oz was too high: crazy money working out at over £2000 just for the flights, not to mention 1300 Oz dollars for 30 days quarantine plus all the vacss and blood tests etc. A real shame and there just aren't enough people to warrant a mating at this time in the UK: maybe next year if the interest is there. Sorry to dissapoint you who were hoping to get a pup but Ian wouldn't breed unless at least 6 pups were spoken for: so its right, there is a very limited market but we'll see, as I'm sure they'd make great ro

    Right: here's what I've found on Google: though I've always been told to freeze rabbit for 3 weeks to kill worm cysts: that's what we do and we've never had a problem. http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:Pi4TH...=clnk&gl=uk

    Nice one: I've made nettle soup before and I stew up nettles for the dogs: they love them mixed in with their meat.

    So sorry: words fail me too: I can't begin to think what you're going through.RIP poor dog.

    She looks like a much lighter built version of my GSD cross Grey: similar head, but longer in the leg and finer all round: nice bitch you have there.

    Hats off to you! Not many people would bother getting inside a dog's head like you are doing: I'm sure you'll get round hiim eventually, and by the sounds of it you are going the right way: putting the dog in a situation where he has to make the right decisions to get praise is just how it should be done: like stopping stroking him to get him to give the dummy. Thinking laterally like that reaps huge benefits in the long term: much better than all that forced training that some people advocate.

    Typical ignorant attitude: maybe you should print out a history of ferrets and send it to her! Highlight the bits where it says the Romans used ferrets: and that it was considered a genteel sport for ladies in the middle ages...........that should make her change her attitude!

    We remove the guts in summer but leave the jacket on, in winter they get fed as is: whole: only the stomach and its contents are left.

    I've had several 'nervous. shy' pups and they turned out to be demon workers: if you have the right sort of temperament yourself, are not hasty, loud or impatient, the shy pup will often bond completely with you and do anything for you: 2 dogs I had which were shy around people became deadly fox killers, so I wouldn't say that they can't make good workers, though I'd agree that some pups just aren't into other people or even dogs.

    Know a bloke that had raised a couple of munties: silly tame they were and lived with his chickens in a paddock: only tame with him though.

    Great start for the pup: good on you for taking her out and letting her learn the game: very unusual colouring in a saluki too: beautiful pup.

    Point, aim, slip and wave bye bye if it doesn't catch what you've aimed it at!

    Could be a blockage where the tear duct drains. If it is constant I'd go to the vet. Often a weeping eye with just tears is as a result of a blow to the eye, but if that was the case it should stop after a few hours. Edited to add: just a thought, if both eyes are blood shot could also be some sort of allergy: pollen, straw dust: hay fever. Or conjunctivitis though this usually means a gunky eye, not clear tears.

    I wish I could have gone: brilliant to be able to hold the show under cover: and a floor surface like that would expose any foot problems!

    Daring to step between two drawn swords here: but isn't it more likely that your large polecats are large simply because they have come from a strain of large ferrets? Ferrets do vary in size a lot and a lot of the show ones here are huge!

    The Greyhound people have used this remedy for years: and diluted 50/50 with water it doesn't sting at all: try cleaning a cut in your own skin: no problem. That's interesting to know that it could be a sign of prostrate problems: hadn't heard that before. Learn something new every day on here.

    Glad to hear things have improved for you. ATB with the dog.

    Too much running on hard ground, especially if the pup is a heavy type. Also, make sure there's plenty of animal fat in his food: lamb, beef etc. Helps to keep skin well hydrated and supple. You can get some stuff called Padsanol, or is it Padnasol (I'm a bit dyslexic at the moment! LOL) from the Greyhound megastore: brilliant for all small wounds/sores on feet and around nail beds. I've just noticed he's nicked his stopper as well so that probably means he's been running on stony surfaces: avoid if you can as the jarring on hard ground will damage ligaments and tendons too: not cut

    She looks a nice size and not too heavily built: unlike my tank LOL. Hope you don't mind me mentioning this, but I thought you'd sold her quite a while ago: or am I mixing you up with someone else? Anyway: are you pleased with her?

    They are all great, but the Potfiller is my number one:
