what the fecks a malemute? is it what they call a male MALAMUTE
a malemute is a man who can't talk.......................sorry, bad joke and yep i am not a geat speller
just goes to show how bad its got these days. if they never put that warning on the bag of nuts some fecker with a nut allergy could eat them and sue the feck out of the nut company for not putting the warning on the bag. its sad really, but true.
pre ban if your a lamper then lamp them. if your a daywalker run them in the day. its your dog, your chosen method of working that dog and your choice to run it.
pre ban after my dogs 15 or 20 rabbitts into the night if i wanted to run a hare then i would, its a different test for the dog.
i only run dogs so that cuts my choice down abit. i dont take the runt. as long as the pups look well reared than i will take a punt. i like a pup that stands up for its sellf but dont bully the rest of the litter.
if you was to get a beddy whippet i would go for a 3/4 whippet 1/4 beddy for no other reason than the fact i think it would be easier to train for you than the half cross. imo from what i have seen the half cross can be very pigheaded and i wouldnt recomend one for a first working dog.
imo to survive like they do with all of todays hunting equipment, especially the rifle's they must be as sly and cunning as they possably can to survive. theres areas round here where they are shot to feck but as fast as they appear to be cleared another moves in.
to answer your question as sly or cunning as a fox imo is still true
although more expensive i know that frontline for dogs is better from the vets than the likes of countrywide and the chemists, as the frontline from countrywide/chemist is just standard frontline. the one from the vets is frontline combo, the vets have the licence to sell some extra ingrediant that normal agriculture stores dont have.
the jcb phone seems to be a decent phone. a mate of mine has one and its been through the mill and is still going strong. he through it into a puddle of water just to show me how water proof it was and it worked fine after. his mate even put it in a pint of lager and the bloody thing still rang in the pint.
enjoy them whilst they are pups, the time i enjoy the most with my dogs are the first 12months. i know what you mean about time flying by, only seems like last week i was picking my pup up, he turned two in febuary.
should catch you some rabbits mate. i use to run a cross similiar to that mate mine was alsation/collie X whippet/greyhound he caught me one or two rabbits in his day. hes 25.5tts i use him for the odd days ferreting now has hes 8 and a half years old.
