  2. Once And For All Are Boosters A Con

    in Working Dog Health & Training Talk

    Posted

    Well got news for you fellas my dad works in making and designing these types of vaccines and also designs and test performance enhancing products for dogs. Boosters ARE nessecery now as they've change the way the vaccine works before it used to give you dog small amounts of each virus to train and teach your dogs immune system to fight the viruses and as a result have better immunity for life, similar to our meningitis jabs and such, well that's all changed. company's who make the vaccines realised much more money could be made by altering the vaccine to work in another method it now works in a different manner instead of improving the immune system it works by staying active in the dogs body in the same way flea drops work. It steps in before the immune system to distroy the virus and after 12 months that sytems disapates then it's just luck if your dog doesn't come in contact with it if you dont have a bosster to put that defence back. They call this new vaccine the live vaccine I think this is why now dogs need it every 12 months as it only stay live for that amount of time, I'm lucky with my dad being in the business to know these things but to you guys who think the vaccine last longer then 12 months are mistaken. Vets obviously love this new vaccine as more money is made and same to the companies who manufacture the vaccine . Hope I've helped clear this up for you lads and lasses and just hope it sinks in lol

    i thaut live vaccines have been around for ages? Nobivac parvo-c is a live vaccine, if you look at the clinical data it states the immunity lasts for at least 3 years. the reason its called live is because its a small dose of the actual illness that you want them to get immunity to and can be shed in small amounts for 8 days after vaccination and the animal can show symptoms of the illness vaccinated against, most vaccines start out as live vaccines. the safer vaccines are now killed so there is no risk of shedding the disease/virus after vaccination or showing the clinical symptoms of the illness vaccinated against. feel free to correct me on that :thumbs:

    the post I put up was a interpretation to what my dad told me obviously it's not 100% as the info is second hand. My dad is the best one to explain it as its his area of expertise. He forgets sometimes I havnt got the same brain as him and goes so technical into things. All I know is the booster is a must and for all you guys who Want the actual science behind it i'l leave for my dad to explain lol.

    get your dad to post mate and explane what your trying to get at. i dont miss boosters, i just give them what they need when they need it. i must admit i over vaccinate for parvo simply because i live in a parvo hotspot. atb :thumbs:

    I know hundreds of folk that use mills for conditioning a wide variety of differing dog breeds . . . . . . for a wide variety of disciplines, the dogs are all in peak condition and excel at their chosen disciplines. IMO a lot of the negativity towards mills is simply ignorance. If used correctly, along side free running, swimming and any other fitness exercise, they are an excellent tool. :thumbs:

    i dont think anybody would disagree with that. but he wanted to know what age to start his pup on it and imo no pup should need to go on a treadmill for fittness. its so easy to over do things with a growing pup fare enough get them used to the tread but they dont/shouldnt need it for fittness. atb

  8. under nourished pup

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    all milk contains lactose and as we know dogs are lactose intolerant ... goats milk has less lactose than cows milk but it still does contain it ... giving an already undernourished pup milk will just make its digestive system worse and slow down the process needed to metabolise the meal its given ............

    i understand what you are saying especially if the pup isnt used to it, so what about the puppy milk that has been designed for pups would it be ok for him to give that? skinners puppy milk is supplmented with Bio-mos which is a natural aid to healthy digestive system ( says it on the tub). gaots milk has been used for years to feed orphaned pups and stuff so how can it be so wrong?

     

    a milk formulated specificaly for pups is completely different from natural milk so would be absolutely fine for pups if you had to feed it ... a 5 month old pup is way way past being weaned so shouldnt need any milk to supplement its diet what it needs is protein which contains creatine which is the basic building blocks of muscle .... chicken is high in protein as is beef and the fat content in beef will give the pup all the energy it requires so that it doesnt burn up any of its own body fats whilst building itself back up ...............

    yes mate but we're not talking about a normal healthy pup, i know specially formulated puppy milk isnt the same as natural milk im not stupid! its all well and good telling him to give it chicken and beef but that doesnt cover everything the pup needs.

    If treadmills are that shite why do match men use then for them explaine that

    nobody said they where shite there just no substitute for proper physical and mental excersize that a pup would get by going for a walk, they can be a aid to fitness but dont you think a pup would be better off burning its energy through training and play?

  16. spainel x hounds

    in Hunting With Hounds

    Posted

    Can anyone tell me what a spainel can offer a hound or what a hound wether it be a beagle, welshhound or any other hound offer a spainel please

    i have a few spanielxbeagles by crossing the two u end up with noisey busy flushing dogs wich wont go as far as a pure beagle ideal for small areas and thick cover best fun very exiting quick fire action u can have it seems to cause a few arguments on here from the hound men have these crosses but i would recomend getting one

    i agree with you there, they dont half smash through the cover and the recall seems alot better. Only thing i find off putting about mine is they eat what they catch in fact they'll eat anything :sick: lol that could just be mine tho. good little dogs/hounds. atb mrs A

    A spaniel will smash through cover though ,adding hound to that does not make any difference simple fact is as stated you dont get them push out as far on a line as a pure bred hound,and on the hound side of the cross you are hopefully getting voice in cover which you dont get from pure bred spaniels, to me there just handy little curs suitable for flushing from small spots and handy for folk who want to play at keeping a pack or who havent got the space or time needed to work pure hounds,does anybody who works this cross find it difficult keeping there curs true to a scent or do they generaly just hunt any scent in the cover you draw from ?? :thumbs:

    firstly my young hounds only have a dash of spaniel in them they're mostly beagle, im yet to see the full ability of them as they're just a year old and havnt had a proper season yet. So hedz i'll be able to answer you questions properly after next season no doubt. atb mrs A

    How much is a dash lass ?? and why only a dash why not just go for the pure bred beagle ?? do ye think the dash of spaniel has made any difference for what purpose ye wanted them for or have ye know experiance of hunting beagles to base your judgement on if ye know what i mean ? :thumbs:

    im not sure how much is a dash you would have to ask Woods that he bred them, there my fellas hounds i dont hunt them personaly.

    Reasons why NOT to run a lurcher on a treadmill:

     

    Running in a straight line on the same surface all the time doesn't build agility, suppleness, nor does it toughen the feet and pads like regular exercise on roads and varied terrain would.

     

    Running on a treadmill might build big muscles which are OK if you just want your dog to look like a body builder, but bulging muscles can actually be a disadvantage when the dog is trying to catch an animal which has adapted to run and survive without having those bulging muscles. Imagine a 100 metre sprint runner trying to run cross country for miles: they'd be knackered in a very short space of time.

     

    Running on a treadmill also does nothing for the dog's state of mind. Exercise should be all about stimulating the mental side of the dog as well as its body. Varied walks in different places at different speeds is what pups need. Playing with a flirt pole, or dummy or ball: all those things will build up quick reactions, quick brain, agility, toughness and stamina, far better than trotting or cantering along on a tread mill, which has to be the most boring thing for a dog imaginable. Humans might want to run on the same spot for miles, but I wouldn't inflict it on a dog in a million years.

     

    The only place for a tread mill IMO, is if the weather is so bad outside and the dog recovering from an injury, that 20 minutes gentle trotting on a mill would at least get the blood moving round the body in very regulated environment.

    well said, i couldnt agree more :thumbs:

    socks is pretty clued up when it comes to a dogs diet...feeding ect ..talks sense .he knows his stuff..but i have all ways given young dogs goats milk..and always will...its never done them any harm .seems to do them good .my pup looks a picture of health ...but on a pup under nourished he could well be right it could quite easily give it a upset stomach...

    yes i agree mate, sorry if it sounds like im trying to question his knowledge, im not!
