    hope you taught it the safe word

    It all helps and won't belong before we are off again

    You might find a slip lead more subtle and you can take the wind out of his sails the second he thinks about it until he relaxes then slacken.Keep it nice and short just a foot or two assuming you have taught him not too pull. I wouldn't be tying him up out side shops either regardless

    I just walk mine around the village and throw in a bit of work here and there. His happy enough. He gets dry food 13 quid a bag

    I had a similar problem with mine and messed about for a year or two giving it the old chicken and half hearted corrections. What sorted him in the end was to stop messing about and any time he kicked off or preferably before so it is easier just shut the dog down no nonsense using a slip lead in my case. Being firm not cruel obviously. Every time he started to think about messing about he hit a brick wall and I just got back in after passing two huskies pulling like mad towards him by a couple of feet and he didn't budge. He may have wanted too but new he was wasting his time so job done. Do

    Brilliant way to work mine flushed one out of reeds the other day. Rarity around here though

    Nothing wrong with pushing off it gives the dog a chance to decide where its going to land the other side and more control and slower. Had a few that all ways jumped barbed wire like that. Could all ways slip and get hung up. Better than jumping full whack and miss judging but jumping in any fashion can go tits. Present dog rarely jumps unless his after some thing and then he will jump double fences and all sorts with out a thought. Rather he didn't

    Get on top of all stock breaking asap and sooner from horses to cats. Get the dog used to having its feet messed with regular so you can keep nails short and avoid or at least help avoid toe injuries Get saving for vet bills and expect to spend half the season with the dog recovering from some disaster or another. From the word go don't let the dog get into any daft habits you don't want to deal with later on I know these things because I made a right hash brown of mine

    crackers lovely and clear.

    the one is right I reckon a nice thin line works better

    Yes that is very true. He is an exciting dog to work with no half measures and only one speed. I did hope he was starting to respect the ground we have to work but he really is not lol. If there is some thing about he will work the ground quickly at full tilt in case it is on the move. Once his happy it is not then it is nose down and figure it out. But it is that attitude that catches stuff compared to a more laid back type I guess. He flushed a rabbit out the reeds this morning then covered the surrounding area in about 30 seconds before getting his snout down and tracking it acro

    You can't beat it. I remember as a kid my grandad picking up an old wood burner from a scrapyard and he plumbed it in the water tank of our mobile home. It was lovely and cosy and the old tank used to burble away when it was boiling

    saying that cant fault that salmon and egg either
  19. terryd
    Good old porridge and not that fine stuff either. Throw a banana in raisins, peanut butter, honey or some frozen fruit from the allotment. Good stuff made with milk

    Really sorry to hear this

    Just walk around with the ferrets this morning just enjoying our walk and the dog was a pleasure. He did every thing to perfection keeping in nice range checking on me where I was. Big forestry of young tree's so at times on my knees looking up the rows to catch a glimpse as he crossed over checking out bits of scent. There was scent about but in such a big block biit of a needle in a hay stack job I liked the way at one point he heard a magpie chatter and went off to check if charlie was sneaking about he seems to have sussed that one out. I keep showin

    Well its seems a common thing then as mine according the vet has a broken toe and it has fused back together. He won't be seeing the lamp this year again and we will see how it fairs next season. Just a bit of ferreting because around here day time work is just a short dash and and that is it really. I am in no rush to have it off as you can't undo that and we will see how it is after a summer of doing not a lot. Good luck folks with your dogs and there recovery
