  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Thats a nice pup mate. I love it when a pup just takes it all in nice and calm. Hows he bred?
  5. Google Bull-x lure machines. they are not cheap but very good quality.
  6. I would think 36mph is about a decent average for a greyhound racing in a 500yd race.
  7. 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
  8. I agree mate,it makes you shudder.
  9. Everything Skycat says and more...
  10. A lot of Bullxs about wont have stafford in there makeup or not the kc type anyway,and there temperament can be different.
  11. He looks in great fettle for 14 matty. and his piss is still good enough to lick off a nettle,so cant be doing bad.
  12. very good point mate. I don't mind paying for top gear. If I'm into something might as well wait few week /month whatever until u can afford utJust curious in what people think is top gear? Is it the stuff with all theese names behind it?Problem with proper genuine working dogs is finding them proper genuine working homes where there wont get names behind them and splattered over Facebook ect. Top gear is usually stock considered to be potentially very good because its not only out of a very good bitch by a very good dog but its grand and great grand parents etc were also very good. The c
  13. People who call whelps,boys and girls and parents mum and dad are usually c**ts anyway. Its a massive giveaway..
  14. vets and chemical companies are robbing b*****ds...
  15. Are you still on here mate? Cant remember what you were called and ive deleted pms.
  16. To me a dog that has spewed proper but then goes on to keep hold of his foxes is always in danger of reverting back to type one day in a difficult position,when things get tough. The best dogs are the ones that dont need to find courage because they are born to enjoy it.
  17. nice litter youve got there mate,how many are you keeping?
  18. spoke to four different farmers today and they all say theyre voting out,no question.
  19. Did you work on the bottom or on the top..! ha ha he helped reg turn the spit handle.
  20. Can the lads in scotland please confirm this to be true?
  21. there 300 notes Is that the price nowadays?They used to cost 20 quid around newcastle. was just winding katchum up a bit mate from another thread but I think theres a lot of kc whippets being bred for the coin..
  22. You need to be careful not to overdo Cod liver oil as it can block the liver.A teaspoon every day or other. Biotin is also good for hair/skin which is in white of egg.
