    Knack...I'm not one of them mate wish I was....a lot of reading up and asking mates as I have been out the game a few years. Never had a dog with saluki in it so fancied a change. Was good to see retrieves and good for the dog to put it all together.

    I have been lucky to spend a lot of time with him especially with being on crutches the last few weeks. I don't do much training each day. Prob 30 mins broken down into 5 mins or so. The rest is walks and being a pup. There's time yet terryd. Cheers flipbull. I don't really push the jumping. A couple a day tops. I didn't really do any jump training before 6 months tbh

    Might try and get up this month. Having my cast off on Friday so will be able to get out more. How's the pup?

    Thanks lads. He won't be over doing it. We got plenty of time over the summer ready for the season.

    My pup is now 8 months and things seem to be coming together. We have had our moments but tbh he's been a treat to train so far and is now starting to take shape. Have been working on the basics especially his retrieve. He has had a good couple of ferreting trips and has also had a couple of daytime rabbits that we come across whilst out walking. Both were retrieved to hand. Have done some jump training but little and often and he is retrieving dummies on the lamp. I ended up on crutches which has slowed things down but have just kept with the basics until I'm back on my feet. Happy so far and

    I thought it was the norm to be able to get it but having spoken to a few people then obviously not. I get my mince and bones off him so he give me a load of tripe to try. The dog liked it so will add to his food. I only pay for mince beef and pasta now. Fish I catch, chicken carcass I get from butcher and rabbit from ferreting/lamping. Greens from what's left from our plates.

    Thanks bob. I will just be adding as you say. Just wanted to know what others do as didn't want to vet do it. I will just cut it into pieces and add to each meal. The tripe comes straight from slaughter house so is not processed. Stinks the house out but dog seems to like it!

    I have a source for green tripe and am going to start feeding it to the dog. He is already on a BARF diet and is fed twice a day. 24" tts. Just wanting to know how much tripe you would feed each day? ATB

    it not everybody goes out all night rob but I know you mean 22amp lithium an striker hard to beat yeah mate i had the 14ah lithium with lightforce 170 get comfortable 4 hours with it but will upgrade to the 22ah when i got the money, suppose if you only want quick walk out they good bit kit I got a similar model. Like you say ideal for a quick shine about and a few runs. Comes in handy as a spare if your main lamp packs in whilst out on the ground. I use mine for training the pup saves carting the bigger battery out. Nice and easy straight in the pocket.

    Chid21 is the one to ask mate. There was a thread not so long back and he was working them out. He also sent % of mine. I only asked because people were asking me how much saluki and collie was in my pup!

    Here you go trig. This is her brother.
  12. white van man
    She's looking good Dean. I thought she looked a bit more heavily set than the mum.
  13. white van man
    Dean. As dodger said mate a lot of sheep are in lamb now so farmers will be twitchy. If you find a half decent farmer near you then he might let you take the dog around the Rams If he has split them from the ewes. Take her out on footpaths on a long lead that way if she does go then no harm done. It's better than nothing at the mo. Her brother was fairly good from the start so can't see it taking long to get her sorted.

    I hope that's not you poaching on my permission!! Lord Graiglwyd wouldn't be happy!! She's growing fast and is looking smart. Looking forward to coming up home next week and getting out with the dogs. My pup should keep her busy. Your turn for the beers!
  15. white van man
    She looks in good condition strongbow. Like the look of her. How's she bred mate?
  16. white van man
    Same here I got one and it's handy for small fields and as a back up. I wasn't that happy with the tightness of the beam at first so I extended the guard with a modification (plastic pipe and black tape) to channel the beam a bit and that seemed to have improved it. Nice and light and handy for a quick shine!!
  17. white van man
    Where's the dog coming from and going to?
  18. white van man
    Cheers. Nice mix mate. Never had anything with bull blood in but she's a cracking looking dog.
  19. white van man
    Like that a lot Wales. Looks cracking. How old and what's the mix?
  20. white van man
    Lads cheers for the comments and advice. I initially mentioned it was my hobby and I'm happy to go up with mates and clear a few warrens. I think it's been complicated by a 'middle man' who thinks he's a bit more important than he is. My mate who asked has arranged for me to meet land owner so I will have it sorted soon. Some sound advice above. Cheers. Giro.....I like your style. Wish things could still be done like that!!
  21. white van man
    No mate this is the first enquiry. I am meeting with him next week. I'm hoping he is going for the insurance only and get up there and clear some rabbits.

    Liverpool is closest for you if your heading from Wales especially if your North Wales. Liverpool is an overnight slog and you get a cabin. Not taken a dog on that crossing but my dad has from Scotland and that is a shorter crossing. Reckon there is something on their website when booking. Any probs give me a shout and I will ask my old man. ATB
  23. white van man
    Nice mix mate
  24. white van man
    Where you sailing from and to??
  25. white van man
    Cheers Mr muddy. That link is something that will help a mate who's just starting his own business! Thanks for all the other info. At last a thread where you get some sound advice. Cheers all who have commented. WVM
