    My old lurcher bitch has developed pancreatitis. She must now be on a low fat diet, and i mean practically no fat. I refuse to put her on a dry food diet but will stretch to allowing tinned meat (Chappie etc) but would prefer 'proper meat' for the majority of her diet. I know chicken and rabbit is good but i would like to give some red meats....is there a guaranteed way of drastically reducing the amount of fat in other foods?

    Stunning pups on this thread

    You sure they were pure Boerbel. Someone has been advertising 2 Boerbel x Dobermans all over the place

    Boerbel pups usually go for about the £1,300 mark, hate to think what you might be driving to use that much petrol

    Sorry if these seems dim... but what is 'boerbel'? I'm not far from Ashington and if there was a spare bitch going and it was a good-un I might be able to help you out. That isn't meant to sound mercenary, not sure how else to phrase it! God, you charge a fair whack for just a journey up the road

    Not too far from me..... http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=4598 Supposedly a good site. The patrons come into my local and they all seem to come back every year. Not too far from the borders either

    Thank you

    Thanks, that's great. When should i put the nest material out?
  12. Moll.
    Where should i place the nest pans in the aviary, in the house bit or outside (under a solid roof) Would it be a good idea to put one in and one out so they can make their own mind up? I am going to put them out soon for them to get used to them. What kind of nesting material should i scatter, and when, for them to use...i presume they will build their own nests in the pans?

    A couple was going out for the evening. They'd gotten ready, all dolled up, but just needed to put the dog out when the taxi arrives. However as the couple walked out of the house, the dog shoots back in the house. They don't want the dog shut in the house, so the wife goes out to the taxi while the husband goes upstairs to chase the dog out. The wife, not wanting it known that the house will be empty, explains to the taxi driver: 'He's just going upstairs to say good-bye to my mother.' A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab. 'Sorry I took so long' he

    I don't blame your sister for wanting one, i did and eventually got one. Not being sexist here, but they are ideal for a lady hunter, nice size to control, and to carry back to the motor if anything happens. Plus i presume she wants one to be a companion dog also...again i could not ask for better in that department, funny, affectionate and intelligent, never boring, and don't take up much room. Mine shivers in the cold if stood about, but when working, it never bothers him. He has seen a fair amount of work and has NEVER had an injury, i wonder why people think they would, the light frame me

    My whippet dog was exactly the same, his first (learning) season he did very well, showed great promise. His next (proper) season he was horrible, pulled up at hedgerows/fences, some slips he did not even bother to run if he thought they were too near an edge or too far away. The type of land here, small fields, lots of edges, you have to do long slips to stand any chance of getting anything. I had always been used to bully x, do or die dogs, so this was very disheartening for me. I put a thread up on a different forum, some people called him a jacker, said he would never be any good, others

    Depends on the dog. An aggressive dog will just fight back more, and will never forget.

    Couple of years ago i spotted 2 pairing up in November Had new born kits as late as September here. So it does look like some at least are breeding most of the year now.

    Your best bet would have been to stay and train her when & where it happen (if possible) Now......On the lead walk right up to the sheep, get them running so they catch the dogs eye, then every time she looks at them, lose your rag with her...don't mean beating the shit out of her, i pinned Khan to the ground screaming in his face ragging him when he caught one. Me angry scared him more than a kicking ever would. Too much beating can make a dog too scared to come back to you if it even 'thinks' you might be angry, and you will need to be able to recall it! But for any type of training t

    Spot on. I still do that now even with the older dogs. Plus i always scan for anything unexpected up ahead, like a lamb half hidden away from the ewe or a ewe out of its field, they panic bounce off the fences, a great temptation to a dog ...better safe than sorry imo

    Don't despair. Quite common for pups to try it on when teenagers. I live on a sheep farm, my pups are in amongst sheep, and in the lambing pens with me as soon as i get them. But i guarantee when they get to that awkward headstrong age they will try it on once or twice, just seem to chase out of curiosity/play more than anything but you know they can change in an instant. Just keep reinforcing that they cant even look at them. When her brain matures a bit more she will stop even trying as long as you have instilled in her it is not fun to chase sheep

    Seen two pairing up today, so perhaps their mind is on other things at this time of year

    If you cannot train a dog, to obey without collar then you wont be able to with an E collar. Not being sarcastic, but an E collar is useless without the training with it. You can give a dog shocks till the cows come home but if you do not train whilst using it, i guarantee it wont work. A farmer near here can only work his collie with the collar on, as he trained it to the collar, not to his commands (if you get my drift) Plus using an e collar on a dog which is being aggressive will only make it more aggressive. Pain= heightened aggression. E collars are only really a last resort for dan
