  1. Belgium Shepherd dog (Malinois). Mine bushes very well with the Spaniels. Catches through being in the right place, super hearing, great brain.
  2. A lot of GSD with high drive about nowadays and most wouldn't be able to handle them. Also as a Police dog most Mali's are not suitable.
  3. My Mali switched on and off as you please. I can walk him off the lead down the town centre no problem. He knows when it's game on and most of the time it's not. I think the dogs that you know of are security or service dogs only. Trouble with the dogs on the vid is, they are left in the kennel only to be got out to do work and this is what they are all about. This breed has a lot more to offer than people think, it's what you do with them that makes them what they are or do.
  4. They'd be able to sneak right up on them.
  5. Not apposed to taking one for the pot as I sure they would've tasted ok. Although I'm glad you put them back. Well done mate.
  6. 9 enquires off here and over 30 calls from the net. I am still yet to find a good home or a home that can do these pups justice. Lots of people seem to think these are a keep in the kennel take it out once or twice a week lamping dog. These dogs will need to be worked and on a regular basis. Not one person has bothered to come and see the parents work. The pups here are already showing guarding instincts and this will need to be harnessed. They all retrieve, sit and are house trained, to a fashion, not easy to do with four pups and yes I now have 4, one was returned as the new owners cou
  7. I may have one here somewhere, I'll take a look.
  8. Gnipper's right. I wouldn't trust Alder, in fact I wouldn't trust any water grown stuff. Willows, Alder all grow fast and have large ring growth (not tight grained). I may be wrong but I wouldn't trust it. They make Clogs out of Alder and Cricket bats out of Willow. The are both very light but are fairly soft.
  9. £2200 isn't a lot for a fully trained dog, bearing in mind the time and effort that goes in to it. But if you haven't the knowledge of training, how do you know what you are buying? Do you have someone to look at the dog for you and are you looking at getting yourself up to speed?
  10. Depends on what you call costly. Any good dog is costly.
  11. Some plump bunnies there, well done all of you.
  12. I've doubted your craziness, but hey hats off to you mate, well done. Nice smallish Mink too.
  13. A standard suit, nothing fancy like your purple velvet one. Always shows you've made the effort and you are keen for the post.
  14. I would concerned about the future of the 4 legged one Well done dem dogs.
  15. So the 3 legged one got more than the 4 legged one?
  16. For those who were interested, the sire did well lamping last night. His bag included 2 rabbits single handed , not bad for a Shepherd dog. One pup still available to the right home.
  17. Not always a dog can pick up scent, but I know to trust my dog in most situations. Scent can not always be picked up on the edge of cover, it may start a little way in. No one wants a dog that enters every bit of cover, wasting energy and time. But as I said if I ask it to enter then it should. Us as humans have a greater field of view, so sight has an advantage sometimes.
