think pretty much any dog can be trained to track wounded deer, all of my lurchers have learned it very easily. know a couple of people who use pointers (both gwps) and both are very capable.

Clarification On The Powers That The Rspca / Sspca Have
beast replied to dymented's topic in General Talk
interesting reading. hopefully thl users are now clued up on the powers (or lack of!) that the rspca have, however its good to see that the message is now starting to get through to the cops even in such a small way as that forum -
used to live near a place called carrington house, used to be the biggest doss house in europe. most were old alcoholics living rough for some years, but a lot of mentally ill as well. used to chuck them out onto the streets at 9 every morning. as kids we would spend hours just staring at their antics, not really taking the piss but just in wonder at the shenanigans they got up to. would amaze you. the only woman we ever saw was known locally as mad rose, and she was the worst of the lot. nowadays i just feel sorry for the poor buggers.

Sincerely Hope This Guy Gets His Comeuppance In The Tin Pail
beast replied to RossM's topic in General Talk
if that was my kid? i would kill him. make no mistake, i would find a way, dont know how, but i would find a way. even if it meant waiting 20 years till i got an opportunity. just reading that makes my blood absolutely boil. -
miliband really is the worst thing that could happen to this country, him and his horrible little wesael lickspittle ed balls.

my late mother in law had crohns, and she managed it very well by managing her diet. her daughter (my sister in law0 also has the complaint, had to have surgery for complications some years ago. ever since she has managed very well, and is careful with her diet as well as having to take meds but these are minimal. my understanding is that different people have different manifestations of the illness, and virtually all cases can be managed very well although there may be some trial and error to find which treatment works best for you. good luck.

thanks folks. i got the vet to have a look when he came for the cattle, he was baffled, said the teeth seemed perfectly healthy. said we could do further tests, but that would be costly

scrap the dda and have MASSIVE penalties for anybody who owns a dog which seriously injures somebody!

my old woodwork teacher at school, the most spiteful, aggressive bully i have ever met. he'd be about 85 now if hes still alive, but he hurt and terrified generations of kids, and deserves a slap. besides, at his age, i reckon i could go toe to toe with him and i might even have a chance of winning!

i dont think they are rotten skycat, they just look like the inside of an old teacup with the tannin discolouring it! rotten teeth tend to have that sort of greyish cloudy look about them. i think i'll get the vet to look just in case. thanks for your advice
-
thanks skycat, i have had to remove plaque from dogs' teeth before, and you are exactly right in what you say, but this is different. no kind of scale or anything, just the actual teeth themselves becoming discoloured i was thinking of taking her to one of those celebrity teeth-whitening places

i have a three year old collie cross here, and although the incisors and canines are nice and white, the back teeth are going brown for some reason. she gets raw meat, and bones every day, plus a bit of veg,fish,eggs etc. the other dogs get the same feed and have lovely teeth. question, do some dogs just have teeth which stain easily or something? issues with the enamel? and any advice as to how i can get them white again? Thanks!

Advice Please!! Goat To Keep Grass Down In Small Field?
beast replied to Gaj1612's topic in General Talk
depends on the size of the field, and the height/type of vegetation. if you offer it out as free grazing you wont have to worry about spending on fencing etc, just make sure you get any big stock off there before it gets wet so they dont poach the ground up. think about buying in some lambs and fattening them on the field, have them slaughtered when the grazing runs out. you will have to make the fence good, but the value of the meat should pay for this, then next year it will be free. -
this isnt an isolated incident, there are frequent attacks by out of control police dogs, mostly not too serious though, or they dress it up as if the victim was actually committing a crime. my brother got chewed up on both his hands a couple of years ago, standing having a smoke outside a pub and some trouble kicked off, police dog turns up and the handler turns it loose, come running over to my brother about 30 yards from the action and set about him!! luckily hes about 18 stone and pretty fit, and somehow he managed to get hold of the collar until the copper got the lead on, but his hands a

yep, old navy knife, my dad used to have one in his tool box. the spike is a marlinspike, for splicing rope.

a light sensitive camera with a CCD chip will pick up the IR light. so are there any potential IR sources that we might not necessarily think of? i mean, not electrically powered, or man made?
-
nothing wrong with that dog, keep doing whatever you are doing!
-
ok, this might make me look really dumb, but i'm going to throw it into the melting pot anyway. do those night cameras pick up UV or infrared or that sort of thing, rather than normal light as our eyes do? in which case, what potential sources of infra red or whatever can you think of? we wouldnt see that with the naked eye would we? just a thought....
-
i dont pretend to be any kind of tough guy, but even the thought of somebody mesing with my family makes my blood boil. i know for a fact i would do something serious to anybody who did so, or at least i would do my best !! they deserve everything they get, and more.

but gnasher, some great things about being a feral kid in london : the allotments down at catford seemed like sherwood forest; you could have all sorts of fun hunting foxes and rats there as well as foxing on the disused railway embankments (used to be a good stretch from hither green to grove park) and, playing on the old bomb sites and scrap yards (all gone now, but plenty when i grew up). pram wheels for go carts, bicycle spokes for arrows for home made crossbows and the blokes down there might have a few ballbearings they would give you for your catapults we'd go out as early as we

just looked on aa routefinder, says haverhill (west suffolk) is 2 hours 36 minutes. thats the nearest point of suffolk, so a bit more than an hour! Not on my bike it isn`t,, and for a hundred quid rippoff, a few hours drive to ensure he has a drafty evening wouldn`t phase me.

i have to say i have been in some very hairy situations over the years, and you learn how some people react, and they do indeed react the same way in any kind of pressure situation, whether there is potential for serious injury or just potential for being made to look stupid there are those who just freeze up and stand there those who panic and those keep a cool rational head, no matter what is thrown at them. and these are the people you keep beside you when the chips are down
