at one time i used to drive from north of milton keynes to near luton for work. i was travelling early and used the back roads instead of the m1 and part of my route went past the woburn eatate. i could pretty much guarantee on average one roadkill water deer or muntjac per week for dog meat, not all near woburn but all along my route

get a photo up mate. very hard to say but 23" at 5 months i'd guess 26"+

them kangals are a long boned dog bird, not like a typical mastiff type, i reckon it was probably not a crossbreed. and yeah, i would have kept away from the fecker too

i had a pup turned out like this, she also didnt have the best of starts but i fed her plenty of calcium supplements and vit D and a good general diet and although the legs didnt completely straighten they were not too bad to look at by a year old. she ended up one of my best all round dogs ever, dont thin k it affected het performance at all

soaking in a strong salt solution several times a day does work. some people use epsom salts but regular salt will do just as well. quite whether this will help the stopper pads to stay cut-freeor not i dont know, but it will harden the skin for sure.

i took my first pup when i was a lad and it was ok if you wanted to do kennel club type stuff but not really what a working dog owner wants. good as you said for getting control while a load of other dogs are about. nowadays a lot of training classes are focussed on clicker training and using it to do those dancing-with-dogs tricks, quite interesting but questionable use. all depends who the trainer is, a good one will know there business and offer good advice, a bad one is crap. and most are bad. at times when i have wanted advice or tips i have approached gundog trainers i know, not always s

going down a private drive one night on my way back from lamping. seen a red light, first i thought it was a vehicle but then realised there were no headlights in front. as i got near it was a litlle candle about ten foot up a tree in a red glass bowl. bit further on there this dead cockerel in the lane, some papers with strange writing i think it was runes and a fecking dagger! then another red light. loads of footprints i would say 8 or ten people been through. now apart from the farmer i am the only person who has access to that lane. i know it sounds stupid but i went just cold, i'm not on

almost no roe round here. i found one on the road a couple of months ago and took some photos for the county mammal recorder. he said it was the first recorded in bedfordshire for many years. but we are fecking overrun with fallow muntjac and water deer. and i mean OVERRUN

Eh??? so called deer expert the only wild examples are found on the Cumbria-Lancashire border from a small herd in woodland near Silverdale and Arnside is home to a small herd of very handsome Norwegian black fallow deer Those are not wild as you imply,they are a captivated herd at Levens Park and were introduced by the Bagott family. if any of those are escapees they are exactly that, which i very much doubt. When I used to live at Yealand Redmayne I used to see them regular and are Menil Fallow. as you say an introduced genus of the species They did originate from

yeah i feed quite a bit of fish, mostly small stuff like spratts which i feed whole. bigger stuff i gut and remove the fins but let them eat the bones head and skin

make the dog wait until it has stopped panting and cooled down before giving it a drink

metacam is a very good painkiller and you can adjust the dose to a low but effective one for each individual dog but because a dog isnt in pain anymore it will often act normal. DONT make the mistake of confusing this with a dog which has healed. still allow time for healing and rehab, depending on the injury this can be 4-6 weeks or even more.
-
you done the right thing there tomo. i found one in the same situation a few years ago and it was proper fecked, dislocated at the hip and just barely alive. had no tools or anything to stop its suffering so i walked to the only civilisation nearby which was, yep you guessed it church. asked an old woman tending a grave if there was any shovels or rakes or anything i could borrow and she got all suspicious and thought i was gonna nick them so i told her why i wanted them and she threatened to call the police cos i wnated to kill animals! wonder why you bother sometimes! i ended up whacking the

very nice films thank you. once a big bird of prey like an eagle "stalls" in flight it needs a lot of energy and effort to get back into the air, and then to reach a decent cruising speed takes more effort and lost time. so if they time their strike wrong or the quarry dodges it just aint worth the effort to get after it again when it will have gained a lot of ground over the bird. and yes if an eagle gets in a mix-up with a wolf there is only one winner......10lb eagle or 100lb wolf?

first cross beardie will be tough as old boots, good nose and feet and run all day and all night. can be a bit on the independent/wilful side and some can be a bit hyper as pups, but give it till 2 years old at least. you get out what you put in, not a dog to leave in kennels all week and run out on a sunday.

never met mr southerd but his name would always crop up, and there were two things which came up time and again, he was a good man with good dogs. his ladfy was supposed to have ben a bit special, is there any of her blood still about?
-
very nice, thank you. remember some years ago there was a supposed wild big cat up in the forestry somewhere in northern scotland mgiht have been caithness? killing deer but when it started on the sheep they had a drive and shot a big black lurcher. should have stuck to the deer, but i suppose these days the rspca would have prosecuted it...............

nice old tale, thanks for that. lot of stories of witch hares (were-hares) in east anglia, reckon some of the old boys i heard them from still believed they are true stories today. they had some funny old superstitious ways in the villages as well as the inbreeding!

thanks for that, a lad i know failed because he said he was happy to shoot a deer target but hadnt noticed a road behind it!!!!!
