I agree and am not surprised about the 'Adam's Farm' beast. Anyone who has been involved with the media or TV at some point will know what a farce most of it is, but sadly it's a very very powerful tool which many whole heartedly believe.

Crunch em up lol

Hard to say but in thick hedges rabbits will often run the inside of the hedge. So stop nets though it if you can,but if it's fenced in I would try some nets set on the runs. To be honest thick dense hedges that are pig wired each side are as hard as it gets. Hard to net, hard to get caught rabbits in and out and enjoy the scratches and thorns. It's satisfying if you can do well though. Good luck.

So out of interest how do people train a leave ? I know how I do it.
-
Just to clarify, I am talking younglings here, and what people train, as I am yet to see a pup who just does it all without a bit of training. An older dog needs very little other than to maybe be told to leave a rabbit in the net. imo, as the works been done.

Terrible state of affairs, hey buddy :laugh: *head in hands*

Does no one use a 'Leave' command? To stop dogs with rabbits in nets? 'Stand' or 'wait' to stop a dog wandering? I am not a control freak, as I like em to do what they gotta do, but this is basic stuff right?
-
So just something I have been thinking about of late. To me a dog working the nets regular has to be many things, and one of them is obedient and basic training is essential in my book. No one wants a dog crashing into nets, crunching rabbits, running all over the warren etc. So what commands do you train your dog? and which ones do you find most useful?

Metacam or similar NSAIDS are fine when needed. Don't use ibuprofen it is top of the list for poisoning dogs. As a rule it's best to use products for animal use unless your100% sure as you get the correct dosage to have an effect and they are safe. Good luck Sirius

There's shit ground everywhere, sometime you just have to work with what you have got and use some common sense and wish for plenty of good luck. I have fields which look closer to flinty Beaches than fields, but if the game goes across them there's nothing you can do. Places we used to run hares on a few years ago had flints the size of small footballs with plenty of smaller sharp ones as well, and some of the older members out with us had never seen a dog seriously injured there as long as they can remember? Luck? I don't know but it plays a part

Doing well socks, she's turning into a solid thing, very nice.

My friend found what seems to be a Juvenile Lynx skull a while back. I think it has been verified now or has been given to a museum. Personally I don't believe in half of the old twaddle and stories but that skull was pretty amazing, how it got to be where it was found though is anyone's guess?

Good luck, I would get to know a few people via posting on the forum first. Don't take this the wrong way, but not many lads will just take a random on to there permission without getting to know and TRUST them alot first Read up on ferreting, post a bit and see what comes of it

I cant say i store them as they get eaten straight away. Added to a fry up or used as any other mushroom is how I have always eaten them. One of my favs is fried with Blue cheese (blue vinny) salt and pepper and thyme and served on chunky toast. Personally they are best fresh and not always as good once they have been about a few days.

If that's what I think it is I can't see the problem.... Lol he don't get it in other words mate.. Look how dangerous it is!! Terrible state of affairs... Seriously cheer up people...lol

Receiving 'road head' on the motorway, terrible

Yes its pleasant but maybe that's because its so fecking quiet, its like shouting into a empty room and waiting to hear your own echo But the quality of posts when they happen are good. It needed reviewing and overhauling years ago and never was, and now its been going the way of the Dodo ever since, very few of the old crowd post at all. Back 10 years ago it was the most active decent forum around with some of the best (and worse) people you could possibly meet, and a good selection of anti moles to bait I have a feeling most only visit out of habit, due to what it once was, if truth b

Sirius replied to mynyddbrig's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
If the vet hasn't picked up anything sinister it is likely its whats called 'toeing in' which is generally passed by gentics. You often see dogs with saluki ancestry that 'toe out'. It shouldn't hinder the dog to much depending on the extent and its noticeable when the dogs on the move or stood four square. -
to me these types of procedures on a working dog are morally wrong a waste of money, the dog will never be able to do what nature intended, its not as if they can retrain as something else. plus all that metalwork will almost certainly lead to arthritis later in life, all good money for the vets but not so good for a working dog. I do agree Paulus. You need to know when to draw the line. But for serious rips and tears, muscle damage etc where recovery is a serious possibility or even things later in life when retired like tumours etc I think it could come in handy when they get old, a good
