  1. Ask the vet for a price. The dressing changes should be included.. A good vet likes to see the job after aswell so dont keep away imo but just make sure the dressing changes are not extra. Ive never known them to be and they shouldnt, a price is a price unless theres complications. I paid £160 about 3 years ago and that included 2 or 3 changes..
  2. Electrolites I use have a glucose base plus salts. I feed it in the dogs grub after work. The meal has plenty of moisture and fat in it. The dog usually then drinks after the meal.
  3. You should be able to make out pin bones on any running dog mate.
  4. feeding more meat wont put weight on the dog unless its getting enough carbohydrate. Often its the cheaper brands of ready food that put pounds on. Like said some dogs need more and some less. if the dogs too thin you keep increasing the amount it gets until its balanced with the amount of work. Gaining weight fast isnt good for work though.
  5. Thanks for the replies...very helpful
  6. You should always put LOL and the end of written humour otherwise its impossible to tell. See!I think you're right , I though people might get it from my sarcasm in my posts but apparently LOL is the way forward . Let's see if it works,have I ever said how much I admire your sensible and fair minded posts Jeemes ? Lol You may have done, how would I know?

  8. He sounds a c**t whoever he is.
  9. there was a litter for sale on here not that long ago.
  10. Seems a lot of folk glean there dog knowledge in the pub,and you can tell when they open there mouths.. The pub in question was called the dog and bull tho, so I reckon he knew his stuff and now you know as much has him eh?
  11. What cross is it mate? because thats more like young Greyhound behavior than anything, but all dogs in all breeds are not the same. You can have boistrous and quiet in the same litter. Its good for a pup to gallop and learn to use itself anyway.

  13. Barry Todhunter had a number one with that in the 90,s
  14. good luck Lee Selby--dog man
  15. a bit of breakfast is ok if its liquidy like milk and egg or pasta and not too much. Its a good way to get some liquids into them to prevent dehydration. Main meal always after work.
  16. I go to Whitby at least once a year,I see people fishing,I would love to have a go. Course fishing has never appealed to me but fishing from the coast for fish you can eat really does,and it might stop me from spending so much money in the "fishermans wife" Is it difficult to learn..How do you get into it?
  17. I wouldnt bother with that mate..or if you are young you can learn the hard way after spending lots of lolly over a few years,but to save time just believe around 99% of terriers sold for work are crap. Its not easy finding the one percent but they do exist.
  18. To build stamina to a breeds potential you need to get it running. Build up and up varying the pace. It really needs to be with vehicle or horse. Or lots of chasing. You can be suprised how much wind/recovery a dog can have if its pushed.. A lot depends on the willingness of the dog and if it loves work. I know some breeds have more natural wind but the heart and lungs need to be built up. A dogs heart and lungs are not developed fully until its 2years old so dont push to the limits before then..
