  1. Nice looking dogs - it just the pic or does the Pip dog's (first pic) front feet look a bit flat???? They do from where I'm looking from???
  2. What does the above actually mean? Or did I wake up today unable to understand english?
  3. See another vet: any vet which ignores symptoms like the ones you've described needs shooting: that is providing you have given us the correct details in the first place, and of course, without examining the bitch in the flesh it is impossible to say exactly what is wrong, but those symptoms are normally associated with a pyometra which is an infection of the uterus, and which can kill a bitch if left untreated. Get another opinion from another vet quickly - I know a guy who lost a bitch to pyometra a few years ago...
  4. Give him a call....... I'm sure he'll sell you a few DVD's and if you pay him enough, he may take you out !! Cheers. Remember the saying about 'never meeting your heroes' got a feeling you'd be disappointed. Never mind watching his DVD's and wondering what breeding was in his bitch - get out there and do it yourself...I've watched very few 'hunting DVD's get bored after 10 mins...nothing like being out there.
  5. The dog in my avatar was a 3/4 bred collie greyhound. I bought him in 1986 as an 8 week old pup from Hancock. This was the best lurcher I have ever had and one of the best I have seen. Brave, athletic and a real one man dog. Did the lot. Was still killing foxes at 10 years old. I miss him. Best of luck with the pup - how's it bred???
  6. It would get 5mgs of folic acid - try pissing in its ear mate might be better that the folic acid. But I have no scientific fact based proof that it is!!!
  7. I feed a mix of complete and raw to a ratio of around 70% raw and 30% complete - raw is made up of chicken, beef, tripe, lamb, rabbits, organ meat and bones, ie lamb breasts and necks, whole chicken carcases plus sardines and mackeral as well as veg, pasta and brown bread, tomatoes and cooked egg whites - and I use Gain or Chudley's greyhound and add flax or sunflower oil. That just about covers it.
  8. will the linisher do the same job? i have bought some 60 and flap paddles for the grinder but have 120 400 800 and 1200 and a sanding block also a buffing wheel that im hoping will be ok ,not sure which grit is on the linisher ,might just give it a quick blast and do the rest by hand. Jesus - it's an old billhook. Why all the fuss - if it's sound and the tang's in good nick just make/buy a new handle and ferrule - file any dinks out and take a stone to it for an edge and if you're gonna use it for work maybe a diamond sharpener. Why does it need all the fuss and a mirror finish - it's
  9. If it's kennel cough vet will do no more than confirm this - make sure there's nothing stuck in throat, ie bone, stick, food etc! I once gave one of mine's honey and lemon linctus - not sure if it worked tho. Rest and good grub/water and definately no galloping around which could make things a lot worse. Just lead exercise and it'll pass in about 10 days. If it's no better then take it to the vets and he/she will probably prescribe antibiotics.
  10. Great pics dogs 'n' natives - good to meet you too. Love your big 'serious' dog. Take care.
  11. Turk - 1 year old by Bully out of Poppy. 13.5" very strong dog. As keen as I have seen in 30 years - can't wait til this winter and neither can he!!!!. One of a litter of two. Brian has the bitch.
  12. Think you have that the wrong way round mate Talent's a bitch and Copper's a dog? Hope they do the job for you.
  13. Surely it's as effing hard as you want to make it??? No??? Never had a Plummer and to be honest, never will. Don't excite me at all. Just buy a terrier and graft its arse off. Surely the only person you need to satisfy is yourself. Do you have to join one of the Plummer clubs to have one of these dogs. I'd wager that some of the best Plummers out there are owned by folk who have no interst in forums, clubs or the like. Once these 'clubs' have one or two 'alpha males' or worse still 'alpha females' it'll end like any other organisation of it's kind - f****d!!!
  14. Didnt get caught by the bull in the yard cos its a bitch Yeah, the bull Brian has in his yard - is a bitch. Maybe you fed it too much??
  15. I agree with this - far better to buy a pup!!!
  16. That's a really constructive addition to this thread???? Well done! If that's all you can come up with best say fuckall to be honest.
  17. Brian has some great otterhunting stories - I've been lucky enough to listen to them at length - and he worked for an otterhound pack before it was outlawed.
  18. Ha ha ha book depository - Dealy Plaza and people who love their 'shooting' love that!!!!
  19. What happened to the post this morning that showed wee fox cubs snared with rabbit snares? Was it pulled?
