    i reckon it must be the owner to blame, cos a salemute can do NO WRONG..........

    not sure i would agree with that bg, i would suggest that malemutes can be stubborn and independent, but the gsd cross probably was simply clever enouh to realise that it wasnt going to catch that hare?

    well like i said on another thread, gonna get me one of them salemutes and put it across a ridgeback...........................

    Breed another and sell it haha it wants to kill and chase everything but its stubberness is doing my head in,its had few rabbits and other bits but its recall is a problem at the minute but was spot on a few weeks back,he should make a decent dog if i can sort that out well you arent going to sort out recall by slapping it are you?.......................................

    you know what, i never had a camera and wasnt too bothered about souvenirs, thought it would never end. but seeing your pictures i wish i had taken some myself back in the day. must be nice to look back on those days fellas, bet you can remember every run. well done for posting lads.

    good work to finish the poor bugger off b.greyhound. pellets left in an animal usually form a capsule of tissue around them which in effect seals them off from the blood stream, lead poisoning is generally caused by eating it. every winter i find a few old water deer that have just lost too much condition over the cold months to survive, this year seems to have been particularly bad, i reckon i've picked up about 20 dead or dying. i know weve had a bit more warmth and a bit of grass growing in the last week or so but i reckon it was too little too late for that old boy. heaviest buck i

    Anyone know the answer? i've never run sika with dogs but used to handle a lot when i worked with park deer and they will fight for sure, even the does will try to bite you once you get them caught up! i ran a lot of CWD with dogs and i never saw one that had any kind of fight in it, used to squeak and wriggle a bit, but most of them just lay down and waited to die. so i guess folks who say that sika are easiest are talking speedwise, because some of those CWD run like they've got a rocket up their arse

    theres never been many hares round here, and 15 years ago you would barely see any. one of the local farmers set up a shoot about that time, and the hares have come from nowhere. you can guarantee to see some on that land any time now. the main things which have changed there are cover crops through the winter, and control of foxes. another estate i know laid off their pest controller/game keeper, and what used to be a healthy hare population has dwindled away. the foxes have rocketed though. i think foxes are a major facor in hare numbers in some places, i think they tcan take heavy numbers o

    what do you have round your way dan, whitetails or mule deer?

    you should read the one from crofty_88 about his rabbits and watering can :laugh: 28 pages http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/250758-so-mad-i-cannot-describe/ paulaus you tosser, you just made me look at crofty 88s post and i wasted an hourof my life reading the first 15 pages and laughed so much that i did a bit of wee in my pants. thanks for nothing. oh and to save me reading the other pages, did he get his rabbits back?

    i've never been in that situation with a dog, but it seems to me that the logical next step would be to get strangers to feed treats to the dog themselves to get it actually looking forward to meeting them, rather than simply tolerating them. what do you think?

    hey lighten up bud! i dont want a dog to guard my back yard, i want something to hunt with.... yep i would be very grateful if a dog tracked my lost kid, and i'm fully aware that there are many useful dog breeds about, but i'm not sure that crossing them with a greyhound would be necessary to make them wonderful, or to make them "proud of for defence tracking running or companionship". i've had a couple of gsd's and i'm fully aware of what cracking dogs they can be but i'm not sure of their relevance in this thread? if i wanted a yard dog i would have a gsd again, not a malxridgeback. theres n

    what the fecks a malemute? is it what they call a male MALAMUTE a malemute is a man who can't talk.......................sorry, bad joke and yep i am not a geat speller

    Youve nearly got me convinced,but,there are so few lions in GB and ive stopped chasing Dandy,s,ill leave it. there are so few lions in GB cos my last litter killed them all...............................
  15. beast
    you think i'm joking but i'm serious. there are so many ridgebacks in england that have been selectively bred for lion hunting, and also so many malemutes bred over here for generations for their strength, hardiness and stamina that i'm on to a winner for sure. and with the interest on here so far, i reckon £600 per pup ABSOLUTE MINIMUM

    Put me down 2 , as long they clear there own shit up 2 you need gsd blood for that, they are the best at evrything in the whole world.

    extendable leads are crap, they encourage a dog to pull.
  18. beast
    think i might breed a litter of ridgeback x malemute to prove everybody wrong. they will be faster than greyhounds, more stay than salukis and smarter than collies. also they will be more powerful than a shire horse, sure this will be handy to pull me out when i start floundering in my own bullshit......

    bottom line is,collars do work, BUT you need to get the timing spot-on (and i mean spot-on) or you will create a host of other problems with recall etc and also with the dog associating you with the shock. i never have needed one with any of my dogs but i've watched a couple of skilled trainers demonstrating with "problem" dogs and also a couple of morons getting it wrong......... for me, i get the pups out with stock as soon as they are jabbed, let them off the lead round sheep as tiny puppies and any interest i chuck a handful of little pebbles at them. not to hurt, just alarm them a bi

    what about "living in a box"

    socks, well done to the young dog and to yourself. my collie crosses are usually early starters and i had a bitch that was knocking over chinese and muntjac regular at ten months, and chinese can run some believe you me. but six months like yours is certainly in at the deep end. and if there are any youngsters reading, dont rush! if your pup is ready when young then fine, but dont expect every dog to be an early starter and dont push them too hard. if they are not catching at 6 months thats fine too

    i have only ever frozen rabbits for 3 days and never get worms. i dont know if perhaps the temperature is different in different freezers (mine is -20) but what do people base the 3 weeks freezing on? anyway, i skin and gut them before freezing, sometimes leave fur on feet and tail if im being lazy and have a lot of them to do, and feed roughly one whole rabbit to a medium sized dog. this is fine in summer but not enough fat for winter or for a dog in hard work, so i feed top up the calories with some form of animal fat and use a lot more venison as feed through the winter months

    i wont put her name, but the lady who breeds the brambledale collies is a main member of the working bearded collie society. this group have basically unregistered beardies which come from working lines BUT are not bred for work, nor selected for working ability. they are essentially pets which do a bit of obedience/agility/dancind etc and although their owners do like to try them with a few sheep for a bit of fun they are NOT sheepdogs. just go to one of their meets and you will see what i mean. they are friendly, welcoming people but are not working dog people, and i dont mean that to be in

    the most important thing with any wound is to wash it as soon as you can after it happens, even just with water. you can flush most of the muck/bacteria etc out before its even had time to establish in the wound. diluted pevidine (iodine based ) is really good, but make sure it is weak as strong solutions can break down healthy tissue as well as bacteria. if the dog can lick the wound it shouldn't need too much treatment unless a pucture, and then it will need to be flushed out once or twice a day. if the dog will let you, put a syringe into the wound and GENTLY wash out the pucture, if it is

    for what its worth, here are my thoughts on hancocks dogs. i have seen many dogs bred by the man from various studs, and have to say that i have yet to see a bad one. some were only average but there were no shockers amongst them. one bitch bred from mr jones (border/beardie first cross) was the best all-round dog i have ever seen. lamp ferret, daytime hares with 50 yards law (not in saluki class but still very good) deer including fallow (dog only weighed about 50pounds!) foxes for fun, retrieve shot birds from water just a superb little dog but i have to say her owner is a fantastic dog
