i know feck all about bull xs, so laugh at this question if you want... if you breed two first crosses together do you just get a mixture of bull/grey types (as you often do with two collie xs) or do they tend to throw one way?

i've terrible knee cartilage problems, sciatica, both shoulders very limited mobility and hands twisted like claws from boxing when i was young, the rest of it is from years of hard labour in difficult conditions, but like tomo i just keep battling on. i'm the wrong side of 40 now by a few years, and some days i feel about 60 but i dont let it stop me from doing the things i want to. still grafting, still carrying the kids on my shoulders, still dogging every day, make the most of what i have

i take your point TOMO and BRIGZY and maybe that is a bit draconian of me, but the point i am trying to make is that unless we get tough on crime then it will continue. perhaps there could be some sort of categories of crime and 3 crimes from the "serious" category bring more harsh punishment? it just makes me sick when you hear about arseholes with 100 convictions for nicking cars, or 20 for GBH or whatever getting non-custodial sentences

Barking At People And Dogs
beast replied to Stretch177's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
dont reassure her when she does this as you are reinforcing the behaviour. walk up and put her on the lead, and ignore her until she is quiet, then praise. it is good if you engage positively with the people once she is leashed, so stand there and explain to them what you are doing. get her to approach them and have a sniff, and ask them to ignore her so she sees that there is no harm in strangers. walk her up and down your local high street so she just gets totally accustomed to strangers, and work on her recall so you can get her back hwen she starts barking. some dogs just maintain a puppyi -
i was going to ask the sex of the dogs, as two bitches, if they once fall out will often never be trusted together again. i would think that two gelded males should be quite amicable, perhaps the younger dog is just finding his feet a bit and challenging the older? i should be very careful for a while, dont leave hem unsupervised and make sure they both see you as a clear leader, and focus on you rather than sorting out their own heirarchy. hopefully they will sort it out

i often give my dogs a banana, i like to provide as much variety as possible and if it will do no harm then why not? one of mine loves fruit, and will munch through raw apples, grapes, melon and all sorts. not sure her condition is any better as a result, but its certainly no worse

yep, tapeworm eggs. the rabbit carries them in these cysts, and when a predator eats the rabbit they hatch and infest the predator. i generally scrape them out before freezing. the cysts are sometimes deep inside the muscles so you dont know they are there, so always freeze meat for at least 3 days before feeding to kill any eggs. i have on occasion seen these cysts as big as a tennis ball, but the rabbits were always in decent condition

i've said it many times but i will stand by this: until and unless the state begins to take VERY VERY tough measures against EVERY crime, it will continue to plague our society. three strikes and you're out for example as in certain american states; by which they mean if anybody gets convicted for 3 crimes NO MATTER WHAT THEY ARE then they get life inside (and life means life). we need to strike down hard on people, invest heavily in our prison service and be prepared for the prisons to be full to bursting initially until people get the message that if you mug an old lady or nick motors or

http://dogs-dogs-dogs.tumblr.com/tethering i've never tethered a dog for any period of time so i may be talking nonsense but i have staked out many horses and we used axles driven in with a sledgehammer as the anchor point. we used to use bicycle tyres as a shock absorber at the base in case the beast bolted, so as not to hurt itself when it reached the end of the chain. this website seems to make sense, although i would perhaps lose the lap link in favour of a "c"-shackle. i dont really trust those lead clips either, so would probably trade that for a shackle too. -
If you want to go ,go with a jap ...! ....I've had 5 different landrovers in my time & spent a bloody fortune on them , got a Toyota 10 years ago & suddenly visits to the garage became a yearly job , not a weekly one ...get a jap ....any jap ..their all good but not a navara cos the engine will blow up.......

Peachy Carnehan: They're savages here, one and all. Leave 'em to go back to slaughterin' babes, and playin' stickball with each other's heads, and pissin' on their neighbors. thats a quote from the film "the man who would be king". has a certain relevance i feel...... when is the "West" going to realise that all these countries in africa and asia where the americans and europeans try to set up western-style governments simply are not ready for democracy? they are too culturally tied to tribalism to ever understand even the principal of democracy, let alone truly buy into it.

i have always tried to be like my dad. he is the most honest, generous, kind hearted soul you would ever be lucky enough to meet and i try to be the man that he would want me to be. i will try to offer help or advice (only if asked for it!) to anybody, not for praise or thanks, and not in the hope that one day the favour might be returned, simply because its the right thing to do. yeah there are times i fall short of that ideal, but its a good thing to aim for.

thats true, but some of the estates are heavily stocked, and you might be surprised how many come onto the surrounding farms at night to feed there have been few roe locally for many years, but i know of a couple of spots where they appeared in last years cold winter, and have stayed on. as has been said, chinese are everywhere and letting the dogs have a mooch is very problematic in certain areas........

a pup isnt even trained at 6 months, let alone grown, get it out and about for the summer and just enjoy it for its own sake. plenty of time for fun come the autumn.

there are munties everywhere round here, every bramble patch or overgrown garden seems to have one hiding. a dog which is switched on to them will csause no end of grief for its owner when out for a walk, as they will even lie up just yards from roads and footpaths. we used to find that a munty feeding close to cover would be a real test for a dog,as it would dive straight through the thickest, spikiest undergrowth it could, like RAW said they keep low and make them selves bullet-shaped, whereas a running dog with its long legs and different running action is slowed down in this habitat. push

the vet sounds like a complete amateur! I have never heard of a vet prescribing aloe vera for an infected wound, and i have never ever heard of a vet who didnt prescribe antibiotics for this type of injury. if the wound had been properly cleaned and properly sutured it probably wouldnt have gone septic. any decent vet would have prescribed a broad-spectrum antibiotic as a precaution anyway. i should refuse to pay and ask for your money back from the initial treatment too. i would also get straight to another vet, and consider sending the bill to the first charlatan. get as much evidence as you

Nope, me either. As you say, loads of Lappys and Curlew, the field in front of mine is chock full every year. We had a GS Woodpecker here last year, knocking feck out of the electric pylon (wood) last year, it'd be nice to see him again and our resident Spa will be getting herself ready to give our flock of hedge sparrows a bit of stick come nesting. Though my fave birdy thing last summer... Hearing that shrill call and looking up to see two or three Buzzard specks circling high in a blue, blue sky and not a cloud in sight, now there's summer for ya..! bosun last week i heard tha
