    Posted · Edited by chook1

    Yes lets remember that has nothing at all and i mean nothing at all to do with us, we are totally separate from the champion of champion's,we have no say in it and absolutely nothing to do with how its ran, its held at the show ground, we do not hold it, it was agreed to be held on the show ground a long time before we ever took over the main show!

    Try some kelp, its often used to promote good thick coat growth and maintain pigmentation, i've used it before on a bitch i had who lost the coat on her thighs and sides every winter, never had a problem after being put on kelp.

     

    Stress can cause also hair loss and dandruff, it can also cause the immunity to lower so could be why her ears and coat get dirty.

  11. Been Peover Today...

    Lol at Ross.

     

    You aren't wrong whippet99. They ain't a cheap day out. £20 per car to get in, £6.50 for a burger, £5 a pint. There's £50 before you buy anything if you take missus and/or kids.

     

    I've had a few bits of clothing. Reckon I spent £120-150 all in.

     

    Navek - I only went one game fair last year. Like you said, been one, been them all, but this was a really good day today.

     

    Buy tickets online if you go next time - there only 16 quid.

     

     

     

    Judges were fine, although i think the lurcher judge was a bit miffed with trying to judge one of mine, don't think he's ever had a tripod in the ring before lol

  12. Fur Dummy

    in Working Dog Health & Training Talk

    Posted · Edited by chook1

    Personally i would stick with the skin dummy and go back to basics, use a training lead if you have to - to start with

    as you may just get the same messing around when you start later,

    let her get the silliness out of her system and then start, don't forget training should be about having fun anyway

    my youngster was started at 7 weeks with a rabbit skin.

  16. Meat/chicken Carcasses In North West

    Kev only sells mince, he's in hindley ( wigan)

     

    There's a poultry factory in preston that used to sell carcases ( not been for years though so not sure if they still do)

    and there's one in golborne i was told by the manager i could go and get some anytime, but to ring first,

    you would need to contact them via email first and ask, you then are given the managers name and number

    to ring and have a chat.

  17. Needs Put Right Asap

    Theres two different types of training you could do, but it does depend on the dog

    first is teaching the dog to focus on yourself by teaching the look at me this means the dog learns to focus on you in an uncomfortable situation

    the second is to teach the dog that good things happen when the dog looks at what its worried/scared of.

     

    If the dog is jumping up at you to me its looking for reassurance, I wouldn't ignore this and would just say to the dog its ok and acknolage that its worried, often Ignoring the dog can make them think it has to take charge as your not, sounds daft I know but from experience it does help.

     

    Im currently on my phone and not able to find the info on the training, when I get chance probably tomorrow I will post it up.

  18. Vet Wont Amputate

    in Working Dog Health & Training Talk

    Posted

    Some vets don't even bother mentioning them as they don't see it as a worry, it was two years before i was told my lad had one

    when i told him i didn't know he even had one, he said oh yes its on his notes lol

    makes no difference really if you know or not, as there's no treatment needed and vets just tend to check when you go in for a booster etc.

    I would ask them what grade is the heart murmur, one of my lurchers has a grade 3 murmur and at 11 years old coped very well with an anesthetic

    when he went in to have his nackers off, there are lots of dogs out there with murmurs and lots of owners who don't even know the dog has one,

    so long as a dog is not showing signs of the murmur being a problem, ie coughing after excersize etc then i cant see it being a problem,

    if worried though you could always get an ecg or a scan done before hand, neither are expensive or shouldn't be.

  20. Drone

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Problem with drones is if you loose contact then your screwed, there's a few near me got them - have seen them a few times

    chasing after them, one came down in the middle of the main road a few weeks ago.

  21. Pup 9 Months Now, Bit Of Advice Wanted

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted

    It is a painkiller, but as an emergency treatment then see no reason why it can't be given

    alongside rest or till you can get the dog to a vet, it's easy to over dose on any drug if you don't know what your doing, paradale has dosage instructions with it, lots of vets are now prescribing paracetamol now a days, mine was on it due to having an operation.
