    Hello folks - Need a bit of help (or so I think) with my pup's retrieving skills, he'll fetch and return the objects I trow (rabbit dummy and tennis ball) but 7/10 he will drop the object 5/6 ft in front of me and return to hand empty mouth. Any tips on getting him to bring it back to hand with greater consistency ? He's 9 months old for the record - Thanks, Tom

    Alright chaps, would just like to share a thought . . The other day I was eying up a Fine specie of a dog called a Siberian Husky, I am a lurcher man through and through, but man alive I could not help but admire the thing, big strong dog, lovely temperament, great feet, smart and intelligent not slow and presumably lots of stamina . . I wonder if one's ever been crossed with a greyhound !? I am genuinely intrigued on the matter. Any thoughts ?

    Hmmm roughly 22"tts I'd say chap. You may possibly have been misled regarding the height of the parents ? ATB

    its a hard one mate, its peoples preference usually, i have a deer hound bull x grey he is 29 to the shoulder and i will class him as a all rounder for me, he is extremely game, and catches a fair few bunnies through the season, its down to preference mate.

    Alright Chaps. What is thought of as a good "all rounder" ? What should the dog be "tts to be considered a good all rounder ? Also what relevance does the height to the shoulder have on the speed of the dog, both take off and top speed ? I.e. does taller generally mean faster ? Thanks, Tom.

    Thanks for that boss. I got you. My 8 month old pup (Bull/Grey x Collie/Wheaton/Grey) has excellent feet. However my other pup (5 month old Whippet/Grey x Deerhound/Grey) has delicate feet ? Keep him on flat ground ay ? Thanks again.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to give me a great explanation Dan, very helpful mate. I am going to take the door gate away to stop any possible damage to the pup, he's 5 months and clearing it ! It was only intended to keep his muddy paws from lounge carpet, the mrs would kill me - oh well ! Thanks again

    Can anyone explain to me what growth plates are on a pup ? And what relevance it has to eventual size of the dog. I've got a rough idea, but not exacly sure. Thanks

    What exactly is the hunting season gents ? And for what ? I've heard it said "only hunt a rabbit when there's an R in the month" so that would be September - April . . A bit more clarity would be appreciated, thanks. Tom
