It must be nearly a decade round here now, you started to see a few in the last couple of years and then they vanish again.
I think it was an Australian or NZ guy on here saying that there's came back after a decade but I won't get my hopes up.
From what I remember getting taught at college the kits have an immunity whilst they are being fed by the doe and if they come into contact with the virus during that period then they are immune for life.
Locally they always got myxi in the autumn and there was enough to hunt over the season and breed again in spring but that vhd wiped out the lot.
I know it'll never happen but there should be some regulation of the numpties breeding and training dogs for 'personal protection ' but basically training dogs to threaten and attack people. There's loads round here and it's not like your average person needs one is it.
It probably sounds a daft question especially from someone who has had dogs for years but what does everyone use for their spaniels? It's the first soft/curly coated dog I've had and there's no way he will leave a blanket or vet bed in there without nobbing about with it. I'd use shavings or straw for a smooth or wirey coated dog but will it get stuck all over a spaniel? Knowing what he's been like with newspapers in his crate I don't think wax paper would get left alone either
Cheers
You'd have struggled to get that beardie bellend I had out of his pen and away, from about 4 month old he was guarding. Nobody was getting near me out and about in the dark either.
A bloke I know had been involved in guard/protection dogs for a long time said that the most dangerous dog he had ever encountered was a neo that the owner had encouraged to have a crack at passing strangers in his terrace house and it had flipped.
It can stop them getting scared of sudden noises like fireworks through the night. I don't bother personally but I do have a cd going to train my young mules until they have moulted out.
I agree with what everyone is saying about getting a dog off yourself being a tad awkward but one with its mouth full of some bugger else is unable to dodge a blunt object over the head or a proper volley or knife in the vitals.
I got sent that video today of the two getting the plank over the head and it was lights out when it connected so one stood still should be easier?
That thing of mine always did it when someone was looking so you have to try and smear it around with a bag to show willing and then scuttle off cursing him. I really don't miss the beardie bellend.
I saw the video and I bet its a younger person filming who would have been more physically capable of helping instead of them old blokes. Surely someone in one of the nearby houses could have supplied a knife or something to help.

I've never had a dog that would eat pheasant, even minced up. If your dog will eat it though I can't see it being bad as a feed just might need a bit of fatty stuff mixed in with it.
My last lurcher used to do several turds on a walk and they got looser with each one, I put it down to him being highly strung and I'm sure the b*****d squeezed the last drop of liquid on purpose to watch me struggle to pick it up.
Chicken gave him the shining lights too.
