    im lucky because my garage opens onto the end of my garden so i took the door off and meshed in the front. built raised sleeping boxes inside, got light and power in there and the concrete floor easy to wash and dry. with the mesh ive got it would be very hard to steal the dogs (not that anyone would want mine!) couple of old sofas in there too, dogs can lay about on them, rip them up, whatever. would be easy to partition it up if i had dogs that didnt get on

    tiny i have kept several good sized snakes and what you have written sounds just about spot on. its heart breaking to think that your sleeping child could be killed by a snake, but even worse to think that maybe, just maybe, something more sinister is going on..... RIP kids.

    very interesting, thanks for your opinions folks. i seem to remember angus fraser the former england fast bowler having a serious hip injury a few years ago. they did some sort of magnetic therapy on him, and he never was right afterwards. now ould you say that he would have healed fully but the magnets prevented it? or that he was never going to be right and the magnets did nothing? do we just see what we want to see sometimes?

    jumping is one of those things where i let the dog choose its own speed of learning. a confident happy jumper will sail even surprisingly high obstacles, and will be relaxed enough to jump whilst running which makes it even easier. a dog which isnt confident and stops before jumping is hesitant. it doesnt commit fully to the jump and is much more likely to hit a fence or get tangled in wire. dont push the pup let it tell you when its ready to be more ambitious. one thing which is useful is to get it jumping a sheet of wire or something it can see through, jumping boards is fine but so often a

    SERIOUS QUESTION do mag boxes actually work? is the fact that a dog is lying in a warm comfortable place actually what is beneficial? i have never actually used one and have an open mind but i have done as much research work as i can and i cant find any mention of magnets being used for human treatment by the nhs or any other organisation and i would have thought that if there were some super healing powers from magnetism then we would be using them ourselves?

    there is lots of good advice here, but i would just add that the worst thing you can do is get cross or shout at the dog, you will mess up both the retrieve and the recall. be patient, shes just a pup, i've had this with a couple of mine and they get better with experience

    never seen that in the flesh, but there are loads of interesting pictures if you google. fancy sorting this little lot out? http://3deer.theburkes.org/?page_id=40

    very hard to say from a photo. is it wet? pus? hard? i should get it checked by a vet just in case its something nasty. can you gat a nice clear close-up?

    rest!! a gentle lead walk to stop her seizing up and more rest!! millet, not being a tit, but do you think that a fortnights rest would have seen the dog right without the bone man? i dont understand the bit about hips, neck back etc being "out"?

    how old is the baby mate? i've known dogs which got really thrown by having a new baby in the house. need to make sure the dogs understand what is going on with their family ("pack")

    at that age i let them eat as much as they like. sooner see a pudgy little pup than a bag of bones! better to see a bit left in the bottom of the bowl. as long as she looks ok then she's probably getting enough

    tryer of all master of none....................some dogs are tryers of all and DO master some!

    if you're really bothered, you can get the dog DNA tested but personally i would keep my money in my pocket and just enjoy the pup for what it is!

    i think as a general knockabout try-at anything hunting dog, half collie is as much as you need for most people. whether the other half is greyhound or sighthoundy lurcher is a matter for some debate however.
  17. beast
    depends on the age and condition of the bitch, and also why you have her spayed (if it is because she is ill for example she will take longer to heal) but somewhere between 6-8 weeks is pretty normal. personally i had two bitches done in the past and both were on house rest for about a fortnight, then about a month next to the bike before free running. mine both showed a tendency to putting on weight easily after, but easily managed by changes to diet and exercise.

    personally, as long as it is just in the skin not the tissue underneath then i would leave it. quick wash with salt water if required. trying to glue or stitch it after the event you risk sealing dirt or microbes into the wound which can mean abscess, and a whole lot of trouble

    myself and some fellas i used to hang about with have had colliexbitza lurchers and they usually make good tough knockabout lurchers. temperament wise they are often a little more stable than first crosses, but physically to be honest i'm not sure they bring anything to the tale that the right first cross lacks (if you get my drift!)
  20. beast
    i would not let the dog near a live rabbit for now, because evry time it eats one it is getting more ad more enjoyment from it. go back to retrieving a skin, if the dog tries to eat that then back to a ball or dummy.
  21. beast
    that bit of beard must have come from bedlington, deerhound or beardie i reckon, but very saluki looking otherwise. could be you've got yourself a genuine bitza there, but none the worse for that! hard to say from photos but i'd guess around six months, has he got his second teeth yet? good luck with him!

    dog meat. foxes go in a hedge out of the way somewhere
  23. beast
    its only 11 weeks, give it a chance!! nice litle pup, good luck with her.

    skycats advice is good. there is another method you can try, old horse trainers used this theory and it does work with dogs if you do it right. dog on lead, walk towards a car and when you feel the dog tense up or start to pull away just stand still. sooner or later, maybe 30 seconds maybe 30 minutes, the dog will begin to relax a little and then you walk forward again. and repeat. and repeat. the trick is that you say or do absolutely nothing, ignore the dog altogether, just respond to the dogs behaviour by either stopping, or walking. dont drag the dog. the idea is that the dog makes a choi

    thats a damn shame, best of luck finding a good home, its a fine looking dog
