    Im lucky if Ive remembered to put my trousers on. I wonder if Bear Grylls goes lamping.

    that wont effect his ability to mate a bitch will it?

    You can still make plans but be ready to make adjustments at short notice

    Three or four is better imo,no use running a dog stale or going back from injury too early even minor ones.

    Pups always do better in the summer mate. Its a bit obvious if you think about it. They can go outside earlier and get the rays and vitamin D for starters. Ive bred blackberry litters but its a lot easier in the warmer months..thats why all the wild do it then.

    you dont need to justify,just enjoy it.

    Making plans is half the fun once or if you get hooked properly. I have a few dogs and theyre all related to each other. You should only keep what you have room for but if you have lots of time you dont need as much room. Its good to concentrate on one dog and certainly best if you are a beginner with dogs. I would choose a dog mainly because he doesnt come in season twice a year if you are only keeping one but if you want to breed your own then start with a bitch from the best you can get and dont waste time worrying or haggling about money like a lot seem to do. They let money become the big

    I use a blazerlite LA9 2million candle power with led battery. they are much better than any Deben Ive ever had and made in Britain.

    Just out of interest what does the vet do to pass your dog fit? I mean how does he examine it?

    He needs more food but I cook mine,escpecially in winter. Make a stew with beef,lamb, veg,cabbage leeks etc and add some of your gain or other as a biscuit with the gravy when its cooked. You can use mince or cut meat up.Use whats available but dont feed cooked bones. A nice stew and a warm bed and you will see him gain some weight. Increase or decrease daily by looking at the dog and his condition.

    Thanks for replies lads. Moxy thats a good tip thanks. Its not the straight shanks but when im trying to get a nice head from a base or main stem. Ive also been told to dry the stick standing up with the thickest end pointing downward,so i will try the wax with it aswell.

    that's it Jim, get them out as soon as there jabbed up , my younger dog was out at 9 weeks old, he knew what stock were, fences ,ditches etc he deff learned all his field craft. And as seen rabbits from young age when he did start run couple at 6 months old it was no big deal for him, ive never looked back with him , ive had good bags as ive said on my thread, and he take any quarry that he put on, he very calm dog when not working, but full on when does work, get them out when pups you wont hurt them , you not pushing them, pups will play all day long its just extension of that

    With the season being mild and still like autumn would it be safe to cut sticks now to start drying? Hoping to hear from an experienced stick maker. Ive cut plenty of blackthorn in october before that has split across the grain. I think this because ive cut too early,so should it be alright now?

    The facts are there whether you want to see them or not. I think what you talking about is a dog learning to use itself which is fine and how it should be,but that is different to full power chasing. Pups are fine to go out and learn but when they reach an age where there muscles are strong but the skeleton hasnt finished developing then damage which is sometimes serious can occur. If you want to start using something before the glue is fully set then carry on,but what does your brain tell you about that? A lot of times when lads think there dog isnt trying or not what it used to be is becau

    look forward to that mate. should have a bit of depth to it.
  17. jeemes
    how are they bred mate?
  18. jeemes
    I dont know if its already been said but a dogs growth plates have not finished developing until 15months of age. Its ok taking dogs out as pups and letting them chase,but when that pup builds enough muscle to be powerful then it can do itself damage that will last a lifetime. I think this applies more to the dogs that have a high percentage of Greyhound because of the weight and power they produce when chasing. Having said that a bloke I knew years ago completely knackered a kc whippet dog up by racing it too soon. It was the fastest thing he ever bred and was winning against good company at

    Does it have a number on mate? is it worth a bet?
  20. jeemes
    a lot of tissues...some with shit on
  21. jeemes
    I know what you mean mate,but you get the gist eh?
  22. jeemes
    Forget big bags of rabbits around the midlands. Rabbits on the arable are not easy but luckily we have some of the best dogs in the world bred round here...so Im told..

    Grizzled and stiff with his eight Decembers The old dog hobbles across the yard, Eyes blood shotten and red as embers, Coat worn thin and a face be scarred, Poor old Brandy dog, Full of battles and fights fought hard. Time to sit in the cosy ingle? Time to curl on the roe skin mat, Where the warrior dreams shall mingle Fox and otter and mountain cat? Torn ears cock to them,grim jaws lock to them Past your best,so the critic said it, Bit too old for the hill, said he, 'Liked the looks of you' (to his credit, Captious Sassenach though he be) Thats his say of it,thats the w
