    This is why most dogs are ruined by 12months. A dog should be considered a pup until its 2years old..mentally and physically.

    Its a bit like the old English longbow archers who started training at around the age of 8 I think. There is logic in that,but the training would have to consist of fast walking and trotting on hard surfaces wouldnt it? That sort of steady repetitive action that builds up over time. Its controlled at least. No its not. That's how I interpreted what you said too. You said "as a general rule the growth plates finish development at 15 months,and its in the dogs interest not to put work like pressure on the joints until they have finished growing". read it again then.

    No its not.

    Knowledge should come with experience. The two should go hand in hand. Please dont take the few on here as the whole world of running dogs,because that is not the case. Most running dogs WILL have injuries and niggles well before there 6th never mind 7,8,and 9th seasons but most cant spot them,and just assume the dog has slowed up a bit. As Ive said a 5 month pup running is one thing but when he gets to nine months I would take care. When we talk about lurchers there is a huge variety in sizes ,weights and levels of power,but has a general rule the growth plates finish development at 15 m

    Pups from the age of 3 months should be allowed to run all they want right upto to 15 months. This is play running on turf or beach or similar,and its how they learn to run. They should not be jumping over anything significant. They will learn to stretch out and its vital that they do this if you want to rear a running dog to full potential. Chasing quarry is different for a pup that has grown muscle and gained some power but is still running on unfinished joints.

    you say lack of knowledge, so i take you've taken pups out from a very young age and they have all had joint trouble ,pups taken out very young do not run flat out its like a game to them there playing ,they live longer look younger and have less joint trouble , bit like humans who's looked after there health, I'm not saying this to stick up for trigger because i think he's a cnt. Why dont you read the post again mate. You have got completely the wrong end of the stick. Please read again to see I am saying just the opposite to how you have understood it.

    Its alright taking young pups out and letting them gallop to learn how to run,but the mistake is to carry that on from the age when the pup is getting some muscle but before the growth plates have set at the age of 15 months. A pup chasing at 5 months is a lot less likely to hurt itself seriously than a pup of 10 to 12 months,especially if its been going out a lot and gaining muscle. If that pup is made up of large powerful breeds it will already be able to generate quite a lot of power from its muscle,which is then being exerted on undeveloped joints. This is bad news.. A good sized pup is be

    looks a bit bully that one.

    Is that just dogs,or does it go for cars,beer,fags? You hear that many people on braggin about boozin or smoking dope. Theres always money for that,but they dont like spending on a dog.

    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
  13. jeemes
    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.
  14. jeemes
    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..
  15. jeemes
    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.
  16. jeemes
    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.
  17. jeemes
    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.

    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..
  19. jeemes
    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
  20. jeemes
    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.

  22. jeemes
    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

    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.

    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?

    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..
