    Nice litter Bobza. Don't forget the papers though.

    All the dogs we have now are fine with thunder but the wife had one a few years ago that was terrified of it. She'd go mad and scrabble her way into a cupboard or wardrobe and lie shaking.(The dog, not the wife) Before we got her she was lost for four days as a pup during thunderstorms. She found her way back to her home eventually but the fear never left her. She'd start to shake, even at the first faint rumble that could hardly be heard.

    can you put a link up for these books mate ? Jock of the bushveldt can be read free here:- http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/36951 I think Astanley's pulling our legs over the Mark Brick book. I've never heard of it anyway. The Plummer books will be available from "Tideline books" http://www.tidelinebooks.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=87 or "Coch y bondu" books and the Dave Harcombe one probably too. http://www.tidelinebooks.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=804

    These things do happen though. When parvo first appeared it was looking like total disaster for a while but now, although it's still a problem, it is under control.

    It's always sad when they go but good to remember the good times.

    He has two, "Lurchers and Longdogs" and "Longdogs by Day". Both good books but both more instructional rather than anecdotal I think.

    I liked "a bird in the hand" by Bill Doherty myself. It's about birds rather than dogs but as I knew the places he talks about i found it quite ......evocative?? ..,.emotional??? I enjoyed it anyway .

    Try this link Gareth :- https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3231/3231-h/3231-h.htm#link2HCH0008 Chapter 8's a good one. If you like this then more of Sir Samuel Baker's books are available on that site, either to download or to read online. Nothing like hearing someones experiences live, from another time and age. Free of charge too!!!

    Possibly when you meet the horse you might get someone else to either lead the dog while you ride or ride the horse while you lead the dog. This could give you a few minutes to assess what's likely to happen. The dog could surprise you if he thinks you're in danger from the horse. I've had a dog of mine latch onto a horses tail. Must have looked hilarious but wasn't too funny at the time as I tried not to get airborn. (This dog was rock steady with horses when I wasn't riding). The danger point is likely to be when you change pace (walk to trot, trot to canter etc.)

    Bang on Bunnys, they need to start before they can run fast enough to hurt themselves. IMO running and walking on very uneven ground helps build and harden the tendons and ligaments of feet too. Some say that tendons and ligaments won't grow and repair themselves but when a pup is still growing they MUST do or adult dogs would look very odd with puppy tendons.

    Never seen it but I would love to. What dog was it?

    My Advice go to lads or ladies who work their dogs hard and who are not farming for the dollar but then people have different ways of doing things. I can see what you're saying DB and it makes sense but what's the point of telling someone that when in the same breath you're telling them they won't be able to do it. It makes it sound like you want to be seen as the only man that can run a decent hound. I said go to people who work there hounds hard there are a few here in the UK as some one said game wise they probably get tested more than COO dogs ,Why would it sound like I want to b

    As above, freeze it for at least a week or take the meat off and boil it. You could take the undamaged meat and eat it yourself since it's so fresh. I've done that many a time.

    Most of your questions are answered above but I'd add that some judges wouldn't place a dog that's castrated.

    I'm a Blyth lad and all my junior school trips were there back in the 60s . Those huts made from boats in Kay's photos brought back some memories. I'd forgotten about them. Northumberland's a beautiful county alright. Don't miss out on some proper kippers from Craster smokery if you're up that way.
