Its not a matter of looks. Flat feet are bad.They are not designed to be flat. A dog with flat feet is already injured.

You should have asked his dog really because its him who will be suffering the pain and discomfort. Why do you think they dont want you in the army with flat feet? If a man can get out of going to war because of them it must be serious. To be fair you can get binned from selection for athletes foot..... talk about splitting hairs

Some greys have terrible feet mate. Ive only seen hare feet on collies but not flat.

You are more likely to see flat feet in bull blooded dogs. A lot of salukis Ive noticed have what they call Hare feet which are a different shape but still good feet and not to be confused with flat feet which are a very bad thing in running dogs. If your pup has very flat feet please dont think you can cure it with road work because you wont. Its a genetic fault that has been ignored and bred in instead of out.

I dont think thats quite right. The collar is designed to take pressure off the throat when exercising greyhounds. A fast dog is more likely to sustain damage by wearing any collar than not wearing one at all. The only protection a collar can afford a working dog is against the teeth of quarry. I agree with you about leather,and looks though.

codliver oil. not too much.tea spoon every other day =glossy coat

Good quality leather,and get it nice and supple with neats foot oil. Biothane is a good second and should last longer than leather. I make my own leads collars..

Everyone to there own but I have yet to find a better lamp for me than the Clulite LA10 Blazerlite with the 100w bulb,and gate lamp. We couldnt lamp without a filter and we need good distance. I soon got rid of my 170 when I found these. They are all british made and wired a lot better than deben. Im not saying they are perfect because they are not but you can send a dog out to quarry that thinks its safe because it shines a long way,and the led batteries weigh nothing and last well. I suppose a lot depends on where you live and the country you lamp. The la10 is not to be confused with the sm

I get your drift fella ,i don't,won't,never have nor never will wrap my dogs up in cotton wool,if i thought of everything that may go wrong by doing certain things id end up keeping handbag dogs & not working dogs lol,one of the best dogs I've ever seen grafting broke its leg jumping a gate & was pts but I've seen twenty fold of that being killed whilst working so where do you stop? Don't have them jumping or don't work them at all? From 8 weeks old mine never get a helping hand off me,they either go under,around or over..in certain areas of the country there is little requirement to h

Thats a lovely looking pup. If he was mine I would be covering my eyes as he jumped those fences at his age though..You can see on the pictures that he still has a lot of bone around his wrist to grow out. In fact those growth plates wont be set until hes around fifteen months. Ive nothing against pups learning to jump but if he was my dog I wouldnt want him to jump more than a foot or so. After all its only the action they need to learn at first.

we are all influenced by colour to some degree wether we like it or not.

When you sell something its no longer yours. All this giving money back in twelve months,what a load of shite. If your that worried about the dog,well then dont sell it. All I would ask someone is if you dont want it please give me first refusal if you want to get rid otherwise you can put it on the barbecue if your hard up. Nobody wishes to put a dog in a bad home but its the risk you take when you sell a dog.If you cant live with that then dont breed. I suspect though that some people like to sound off on here like they are doctor dolittle and it looks good in print,but thats about it. Its m

The money shouldnt be the biggest thing when looking for a pup,though I dont see why people should rear surplus pups to give them to strangers for nothing. The last few litters I have bred I have killed the surplus,but if I was selling I think 200 would be about right to cover the time/cost etc. I do think that when money starts getting too high then the money becomes the focal point of the breeding. After all this is sport not an industry. .Money is the ruination of all sport imo For what Ive spent on dogs kennels and everything else I would be much better in pocketr if I just bought pups in

I hope you find a good home. I wouldnt bother putting her on here though,for some reason this site allows advertisers to be abused by small minded people who think they have a right to judge others. The dog is your stock and you have the right to dispose of it by selling or giving it away if you no longer want to keep it. Unfortunately the site will take your donation but mods will do nothing to uphold your right to advertise unmolested.

If dehydration goes too far and especially coupled with overheating it can and often end in death or the dog being ruined for work. Dogs get acidosis when run unfit and loose muscle mass in a very short time,going from a well built dog to a skeleton overnight. as already said its conditioning that counts and the handler knowing when to stop.Weather makes a lot of difference because dogs overheat in mild or warm weather. A dog goes a lot further on cold nights with a bit of drizzle.I used to feed electrolites but I dont now. Mars bars and lucosade is definately not a good idea. I still feed mi

As max says,do it for the fun of seeing your dog run and if its a honest dog that tries it should win now and again. There is nothing worse than owning a dog that has the race won but then changes down a gear to wait for its mates to catch up,so it can run alongside. A good Greyhound is a very jealous dog that wants to get to the front,and not just run in the pack.

I always use panicur on the bitch carrying the pups from 40+weeks and that way she doesnt pass them on through feed,but I do agree that the liquid and doing it over 3 days becomes a pain in the arse with pups every two weeks.
-
Thats a nice pup mate. I love it when a pup just takes it all in nice and calm. Hows he bred?

Google Bull-x lure machines. they are not cheap but very good quality.

I would think 36mph is about a decent average for a greyhound racing in a 500yd race.

you are describing my first dog that i had when i was about 7 or 8 and he died when i was sixteen. He looked like a collie crossed with a mongrel. He would only of weighed 35lb but he loved killing things.Mostly cats but his real passion was fighting other dogs which he did whenever he could,no matter what size or shape he would attack without warning.I did a lot of obedience with him and my biggest achievment with him was getting him to stand from the stay position (lying down) from a distance.Thats not easy. I could never break him from fighting or worrying sheep though despite giving him s

A lot of Bullxs about wont have stafford in there makeup or not the kc type anyway,and there temperament can be different.
