  1. Growth plates are not set until at least 15 months. Until that time no dog should be galloping other than play. Running dogs often carry injuries that are not outwardly obvious but stop them doing there best.This can be caused by early stress on joints. Its a good idea to take a pup to a bone man for examination for injury before any serious running begins.
  2. Ive got the first one.Very good chapter on breeding that can also apply to dogs etc.Teaches you all about Mendel.
  3. I think ive got one on modern game birds. Or have you tried Read country books?
  4. I know that spraying epsom salts keeps pigeons and slugs off,but you have to re spray after every shower. Ive got net over hoops which does pigeons and pheasants and air rifle for back up.
  5. Ive had them outside but did loose one young cock,when the weather got really cold and deep snow. They have loads of Character and big hearts.
  6. Dogs for sport,gun for killing. Rifles are usually a personal test of accuracy not really sport as the quarry is usually not aware of the danger.Dogs are to be admired for doing and being what we cannot. The gun is personal achievment and dogs are a spectator sport although its not always clear when some are bragging about training dogs to retrieve or digging big holes to terriers. They want to steal the glory for themselves..Fortunatley they are few and far between.
  7. Im looking for some pure Maran pullets,if anyone could help. Thanks
  8. eggsactly what I was thinking!!
  9. Sooty Sam was a Laguna bred dog that came from the Laguna strain. He has been out crossed to so many bitches that i should think the Laguna strain qualities will have been very diluted by now. Ive seen a few of that Laguna strain and they were mostly strong and fast like S/Sam. I bred a Nimrodel bitch to him and there were some good dogs in the litter.
  10. a lot think one jab is ok but its not.You always need two jabs,thats 4 bottles.
  11. Nice litter.I like the way you fend off all the usual aggressive questions by answering them all in one go.
  12. we have just made some in marine ply.Its weather proof and less joints for the mites. I would avoid sheds with lots of planks.
  13. thanks Bob.I never thought to ask at the feed merchant.
  14. where can i get rings for my chickens?
