    Anybody watch Sumo highlights Emperors cup basho?
  2. fair play obviously hygeine is a must and you are correct in what you say but do you see a negative in antibiotics lets say using them with correct hygeine, i wouldnt critisize anyone its whatever works for different people im just interested in other peoples ideas without stupid im better than you arguments from people clambering for high status and too be fair a lot of people starting out might learn something by reading this thread from experienced people and most have the bitches welfare at heart but dont know when and what to do. Im afraid you are right. I introduced mastitis into this
  3. Heard this from a few old hands. I personally have never seen ill effects from penicillin being given before a litter was born to dam or whelps.
  4. that could be true but a litter of four say can clear a lot and i think milk is produced a lot by stimulation of the teats,so less pups less production,less strain on resources so production can go on for longer. So less pups means plenty for all for longer..
  5. yes Ive seen it and usually with bitches that get milk early and as they become less active due to weight/hot weather perhaps but other times after the whelps are born. Some bitches want to spend as little time as possible in the paddock and get back to pups.
  6. Anyway back to whelping...how does everyone deal with mastitis? Does anyone give a bitch penicillin anyway before she even shows signs? Does anyone not use penicillin and prefer natural methods? Its a horrible thing to see and the suffering it brings.
  7. A home is never guaranteed Im afraid. Things and circumstances change. When I breed a litter Im only thinking of what I want to produce and keep. I wouldnt want to put more thought and effort into the pups I dont want to keep.
  8. The treat man is too boring to listen to. The RAW meat man needs vallium and the dont touch my dog is right but I couldnt play the clip because he looked a far too annoying gobshite..
  9. That is exactly my point Skycat..You can never be sure its going to a good home,but on the other side why should I be be quizzed when going to buy a pup. I could say to the breeder "you know you are the one getting rid,so if you were that bothered why dont you keep it yourself". This is my point,if you are not breeding for profit you simply dispose of the surplus. If you cull it you know it was done right in a way the whelp had no distress. If you sell to anyone,and that is somebody you do not know very well then you risk the dog a very bad home. A few years ago I let a pup to someone I though
  10. I dont want to get personal but you breed dogs to sell. Pure and simple. A healthy pup to you is saleable. It means a different thing to me thats all. You dont know what happens to most of your whelps that you breed but I do know what happens to mine. To me you are the worst kind in the working dog world. You are a peddler.
  11. Yes I do. But only since recent problems with fading puppy or canine herpes. Plenty heat is recommended and it working for me, so to be honest I am kind of cautious to stop for the sake of a few quid. I have noticed pups thrive better under heat so no harm in it. 3 weeks of heat and then they are out of the danger zone. Cheers mate .I may be a dinosaur where pups are concerned but I'm still a firm believer in nature before nurture and believe that if a pup isn't going to make it it will die regardless of heat or not .I will never mate a bitch out of summers months ,preferrably spring and
  12. That sounds like rubbish to me,and he being a terrierman in winter is more likely to bring infection back with him from hunting days spent with numerous other canines and people. The biggest drawback to blackberry litters is not being able to get them outside when they really should be getting out and getting some sun and fresh air.
  13. All good advice this...never an end to learning. As a matter of interest FD what do the vets around your way charge for scans?
  14. I was talking serious arthritis not aches and pains through ware and tare,but thanks for your life story anyway,perhaps you should write a book....or not..
  15. I take your point Maximus about studies etc and I agree a lot of this natural stuff is being sold to us and we shouldnt just believe anything we are told and believe all the claims, especially by people selling it to us.BUT if you are keeping an open mind to absorb new knowledge which Im sure you are then try googling Margaret Hills clinic and have a look at that. As I said in a previous post I know at least one person cured of arthritis strictly using this diet which was acknowledged by a consultant at the hospital in a letter to his colleague. In other words,he believed in the vinegar.
  16. It is acidic itself but has an acid neutralising effect in your body.
  17. Selling cider vinegar to people who don't need it. They don't produce it for free. Put a core in it will yer
  18. I know at least one person who was cured of arthritis using the Margaret Hills apple cider vinegar diet. This cure was recognised by the hospital specialist in a letter to a fellow specialist. The cure is based on it neutralising acid build up in the joints.
  19. To attempt to feed or exercise or treat dogs at all in the same way is a mistake imo if you want to get there individual best. All dogs are different and that becomes apparent when you keep a few dogs or a pack. The best are the ones who will eat anything and everything as long as the keeper knows how to feed right.
  20. I dont know how much it will aid joints but interestingly when you treat a human for arthritis with acv the patent has to leave out a lot of meat from their diet,especially red meat. I have some fussy dogs and one that is particular about what raw she will eat.She much prefers slow cooked minced beef thats not fatty.She would deffo not eat it with vinegar on it. I wouldnt overdo it with dogs either because it can give indigestion heart burn if you have too much. I would say a teaspoon twice a week.
  21. I feed raw never cook the meat and still manage to loose all sorts in it , biscuit, bonemeal, oils, veg, pasta, rice they nail the lot mixed in through raw meat especially minced chicken carcass binds well with anything. Sounds good mate..
  22. It can cure arthritis,,,helps digestion,immune system etc
  23. Thats the dis advantage of feeding just raw really. If you cook the meat up now and then you can mix with biscuit or pots and veg and loose all sorts in it that the dog wont notice. I put cod liver oil and bone meal and apple vinegar in mine.and even wormers..
